AS Roma vs Juventus Match Preview

Roma hosts Juventus in the twenty-fifth matchday of the Italian Serie A.

The home side confirmed their inconsistent character by managing to be beaten by the winless so far Cremonese, showing that their elimination from the cup by the same team did not become a lesson for them. In the last six league games, Roma has had three wins, one draw, and two losses. They remain the team with the best home defense, having conceded only 5 goals in 11 games, but it remains very difficult for them to score in front of their fans, having netted only thirteen goals. In addition, their coach will be missing from the bench since he is suspended.

The visitors, on the other hand, are coming off another victory, this time 4-2 over city rivals Torino, making it four consecutive three-pointers in the league. Juventus seem to be getting over the shock of the fifteen-point deduction as they try to close the gap from the leading teams and reach at least a European ticket. In the last five seasons, they have suffered just one defeat at the home of Roma while winning twice.

In conclusion, I expect a game in which both sides will play with attention to their defensive duties as they are used, but, actually, I expected lower odds for Juventus to prevail. I will stake 3 units on the away win draw no bet at 1.96 odds.
