In what is a heavyweight Serie A showdown on Saturday night, Juventus will welcome Roma to Turin.

Juventus

Starting with the hosts, while Juventus might have been dealing with a string of issues behind the scenes last season, the Italian giants have come roaring back this time around. Last seen claiming a 2-1 victory away at Frosinone, Massimiliano Allegri’s men should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Collecting 40 points from their first 17 Serie A appearances this year, some around Turin are dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine title charge in the New Year. Breezing their way to a Champions League return, Juventus will be looking to make another top-flight statement here. Suffering just a single Serie A defeat since opening up the 2023/24 campaign, Saturday’s hosts have also continued to shine on home soil. In fact, on a run that stems all the way back to August 27th, Allegri’s side have registered 19 points from their last seven showdowns in front of their own supporters.

Team News

Missing out against Frosinone last week, Juventus are once again sweating over the fitness of Italy international Federico Chiesa here. Likewise, dealing with a long-term knee injury and yet to make a single Serie A appearance this season, Allegri’s side are still without the services of Mattia De Sciglio.

Bagging a first Serie A strike at the Stadio Benito Stirpe last week and continuing to receive a string of plaudits, 18-year-old sensation Kenan Yildiz will be hoping to keep his spot leading Juve’s charge on Saturday night.

Roma

As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways last week as they clinched a 2-0 victory against defending champions Napoli, Roma will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. Desperate to secure a Champions League return in the New Year, the former Manchester United boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to November 9th. However, facing what will be a stern examination in Turin on Saturday night, Roma have shown some extended issues on the road. Last seen on their travels getting hit with a 2-0 defeat against Bologna, Mourinho’s men have claimed just a sole victory away from the Stadio Olympic since the start of October. Likewise, only recording a single clean sheet on their travels so far this season, Roma are rightfully tipped as an underdog contender here.

Team News

Once again missing out against Napoli last week and dealing with a recent muscle injury, Roma are expected to be without Argentinian ace Paulo Dybala here. Yet to make a single appearance across any competition so far this season due to a long-term knee injury, Tammy Abraham will not feature on Saturday night.

Continuing to shine since completing a season-long loan switch from Chelsea, Romelu Lukaku has already notched eight Serie A strikes this season and will certainly have another leading role to play in Turin.

Key Factors to Consider

• When Juventus and Roma last met back on March 5th, Mourinho’s side collected a 1-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico.
• However, Saturday’s guests are unbeaten in all of their other five Serie A showdowns against the Old Lady.
• Juventus have suffered just a single Serie A defeat from their first
• Roma have remarkably recorded just a single victory across any competition in Turin over the past 12 years.
• Juventus have collected 19 points from their previous seven Serie A appearances on home soil.

Conclusion

Firing on all cylinders this season and with their sights set on mounting a genuine title charge in the New Year, Juventus will be looking to make another statement here. Suffering just a single Serie A defeat since opening up the 2023/24 campaign and gaining a reputation for their continued success in Turin, the Old Lady should also be excited by a rampant home record against Roma. Suffering just a sole defeat against Saturday’s guests in front of their own supporters since January 2011, we are backing a Juventus draw no bet here.
