⚔️ Roma v Juventus Head-to-Head
Juventus claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Roma in this season’s reverse fixture, with Adrien Rabiot’s second half strike proving decisive.
Overall, it was a fairly timid affair in Turin, with a combined total of just six shots on target, not to mention both sides earned a mere two corners apiece.
The drab nature of that game can also be attributed to the surprising lack of cards that were handed out, with the two teams picking up just one booking each.
Looking further back, Juventus have held the upper hand in recent years, having triumphed in four of the previous six meetings, losing just once.
If the recent head-to-head games are anything to go by, then goals could be in short supply at the Stadio Olimpico, as five of the last six meetings have featured two goals or fewer.
However, it’s worth noting that since replacing Jose Mourinho with Daniele De Rossi in January, Roma have been transformed into a more forward-thinking and possession-based team.
📊 Roma Form and Stats
Roma have been in relatively strong form domestically of late, having won six of their last 10 Serie A games, losing just once across that sample.
That being said, the Giallorossi have won just one of their last three league matches, meaning they have little margin for error when they entertain Juventus.
Roma’s upturn in form since the turn of the year has coincided with an increase in their attacking output, with the capital club scoring in 15 of their 16 Serie A matches since losing 1-0 to Juventus at the tail end of 2023.
In fact, only Inter Milan (81) and AC Milan (64) have racked up more strikes than Roma in the Italian top-flight this term, further highlighting the attacking threat that the hosts carry.
Roma are also the most ill-disciplined side in Serie A this season, with a total haul of 91 cards to date. With tensions and tempers expected to be strained in this top-four showdown, expect the referee to be kept busy on Sunday night.
📊 Juventus Form and Stats
Juventus’ recent league form doesn’t make for great reading, with Max Allegri’s men claiming top honours from just two of their last nine Serie A matches.
However, to be fair to the Turin giants, they have only been defeated twice during that time, with the other five fixtures across that stretch of games finishing all square.
What’s more, the Old Lady also booked their place in the Coppa Italia final last midweek after a 3-2 aggregate win against Lazio.
Juventus have the second-best defensive record in the division, conceding just 26 goals in their 34 games so far, a tally bettered only by runaway leaders Inter Milan (18).
However, the majority of Juve’s clean sheets (9) have come at the Allianz Stadium, so they may struggle to shut out a Roma side that rarely misfires at home.
💰 Roma v Juventus Best Bets
Roma should have the necessary firepower to make their mark here, however, they may struggle to keep the back door shut given that they have conceded multiple goals in each of their last three league games.
Both teams have scored in each of Roma’s last three Serie A matches, while the same bet would have also paid out in four of Juve’s last six away games. Thus, the option to support both teams to score stands out at 2.0 on bet365.
Given that Juventus should be fresher than their hosts, Max Allegri’s men also look worth siding with in the Juventus draw no bet market at 1.85 on Betfair. Roma’s Europa League exertions could catch up with them on Sunday night and Juventus are more than capable of taking advantage.
