Current form — Roma v. Juventus

The Giallorossi looking for more

Roma have been all in their last 3 matches, which brought added 4 points to their tally. They claimed a 4-1 win against Atalanta, before drawing 1-1 with Sampdoria. This little streak came to an end when AC Milan proved too strong in a 3-1 defeat for Roma.

The Bianconeri are on a roll

Juventus look well suited to take on any opponent at the moment, as their last 3 matches saw them gaining 7 points. They ran out 0-2 and 2-0 winners against Bologna and Cagliari, respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against SSC Napoli, who claimed a point in a 1-1 draw.

How do the bookies view it?

It has the look of an equal match-up in theory. Juventus, however, still represent a slightly better chance in our opinion than Roma. Bookies have a home win priced at 3.50, while paying out 2.25 for the away win. Should they split the points, the draw ramps up a potential accumulator at 3.60 with the bookmakers, depending on your preferred betting strategy.

Roma v. Juventus — fixture history

The latest match between these teams was a close affair with Juventus taking a small 1-0 victory.

Roma enter the match against Juventus with a 3-2-5 record in their previous 10 encounters in Serie A. This amounts to a 30% winning ratio for the hosts, with the visitors victorious in 50% of the last 10 encounters. Over 2.5 goals only came out as a winning bet 4 times in the past 10 meetings. Both teams found the back of the net 4 times in those 10 matches.

Current table in the Serie A

According to the Serie A table, the difference between these two opponents is currently only 3 points. That means this round 21 match will be important for both teams and their position at the league table. Roma have an opportunity to catch up with Juventus who currently sit in fifth on 35 points in this upcoming match. However, the latter will surely try to extend the gap in the standings.

Man of the Moment

Tammy Abraham is enjoying a great goal-per-game ratio, as he has been on target a few times recently. Roma will be relying on the services of their in-form marksman yet again when clashing with Juventus. The visitors are hoping Alvaro Morata or Moise Kean can find the back of the net in the Italian capital.
