Juventus – Roma

Roma will not be beaten by Juventus in the away match.

The teams have been posting similar results lately. In the last round, Roma secured a narrow home victory over Como. Despite a tight schedule, the Wolves started the match quickly. The Giallorossi were active in the first half and created several decent chances to score. The team's energy did not fade, and in the second half they were able to capitalize on it. Thus, in the 61st minute, Wesley Franka fired a precise shot into the corner to put his team ahead. Fabregas's side's attempts to equalize were unsuccessful. Thanks to the narrow victory, the Wolves closed the gap a little to Napoli and Milan. Earlier in the Europa League, Roma had a successful trip to Scotland. Also in the first half, Gasperini's charges scored three times against Celtic and set the final score of the match. But in the 14th round of the league the Romans narrowly lost to Cagliari. Juventus faced Bologna on Sunday. An even first half did not yield a goal, although the Rossoblu were very close on several occasions. However, the second half began with pressure from the Old Lady. The side's activity was rewarded in the 64th minute, when Cabal found the net after a cross. A red card to Heggem dashed Bologna's hopes of a draw. Spalletti's men also secured the win in European competition. The Turin side spent a long time trying to unlock Pafos' defense, but they scored twice and secured three points. But the 14th round match also ended in a defeat for the Bianconeri. In Naples, Juventus fell 2-1 to the local side. Interestingly, the two teams have shared the points in three straight head-to-head meetings. Thus, last season's match at the Allianz Stadium ended in a goalless draw. The second-round match at the capital's Olimpico was productive, but a 1-1 scoreline did not decide a winner. Apart from three draws, the clubs managed to trade victories. It's worth noting that Roma have the league's most reliable defense. In 15 rounds, Gasperini's side have conceded only eight goals. The Wolves have lost away from home only twice in seven matches. Besides the defeat to Cagliari, the Giallorossi narrowly slipped up against Milan. Although if Dybala had converted the penalty, we would be talking about a different result. Roma are not any weaker than Juventus today. The squad's personnel problems under Spalletti are unlikely to have a positive impact on the team's chances. Roma should be capable of earning points in Turin.
