This is the 17th Italian Seria A match fixture between Juventus and AS Roma and this match will be played at the Allianz Stadium, the home ground of the old ladies who are yet to lose a single game at home since the start of 2018/19 Season. The home team Juventus are pretty much considered the favourite here and they have managed to record 5 wins out of their last Five meetings with the guest As Roma. The last time the both teams met in a Seria A match fixture, was at Turin stadium on 23-12-2017, in which the game ended in an home victory to Juventus, 1-0 to be precise, and the only goal of the match was scored by the Morrocan Defender Mehdi Benatia in the 18th minute. In this match, I believe the home factor could play an important role and i see no reason for the guest AS Roma to cause any major upset for the league leaders tonight since they are not so good on the road.
JUVENTUS
The Old ladies are still perfectly enjoying their stellar start to the season with 15 wins and just a draw in their last 16 Seria A outings played so far, and with this stats, the Bianconeri are certainly on the verge of winning yet another record of 7th consecutive Seria A tittle. Juventus are currently sitting in the 1st place, having won 46 points. In their previous game, they managed to beat their city rivals Torino away from home (0-1) thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's Penalty decider in the 70th minute. In their previous home games there is always a tendency for goals to be scored as 7 of their last 8 games in the Italian Seria A have finished with over 1.5 goals and also Juventus are the type of team that scores first in both their home and away matches as they have managed to score first in 14 of their last 16 matches in Serie A this Season. The Bianconeri can stretch their lead to 11 points with a win over Eusebio Di Francesco side today.
ROMA
Roma will likely go into this game fully motivated after their staggering performance in their previous 3-2 home triumph against Genoa with goals from Fazio, Kluivert and Cristante help gift the Giallorossi their much deserved 3 points to move them up to the 7th position in the league with 24 points above Sassuolo who are also 24 points but sitting at the 8th position. The guest As Roma are currently sitting in the 7th place with 24 points, after 6 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate game, they tied the match against a mediocre team like Cagliari by 2-2. In this season, AS Roma haven't shown the good recent years performance and it seems like it's just gonna be an easy ride for Juve tonight. The fact that they are playing on the road to such a big team like Juventus, who are yet to lose a single game at home, would surely prove to be a huge block for the Giallorisi.
PRE-MATCH FACT
- Juventus have scored first in seven of their eight Seria A home games .
- Juventus have won their last seven Seria A H2H home matches and the last seven overall this season.
- Cristiano Ronaldo has five goals and two assists in six matches against Roma, all in the Champions League
- Roma have failed to score a first-half goal in eight of the last ten H2H matches
PREDICTION
The guests As Roma aren't a defensive kinda team, so i see some chances for a match with approximately 3-4 goals scored here and with decent odds i'm going to pick the over 2.5 bet full time. Juve is of course favourite to win and score first at home with their impressive stats and also with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line, their will be a lot of goal opportunites for the home team and i believe their new no 7 should be able to convert one or two tonight. He is currently in second top goalscorer of Serie A chart with 11 goals and with 5 assists. We all know that he wanna be on the top, so he will do almost everything to score as possible as more goals.
