Juventus FC

vs

AS Roma

Preview

Juventus

• With Luciano Spalletti taking over in late October 2025 and immediately instilling discipline and focus at Juventus, it has been a remarkable turnaround.
• Juve have won four of their five games since his appointment and come into Saturday’s clash with Roma having won back-to-back fixtures.
• Juventus are unbeaten in seven Serie A home games this season (4 wins, 3 draws).
• Juve are fifth in Serie A with 26 points from 15 games.

Roma

• Roma have won five of their seven away Serie A games this term, losing twice.
• Roma sit fourth with 30 from the same amount of matches.
• Roma are coming into this game off the back of consecutive wins.

Head-to-Head

• The head-to-head record is very evenly poised with each team winning one and drawing three of their previous five games across all competitions.
• Roma have failed to win on their last two trips to Turin.

Key Players

• The play in wide areas and half-space is vital for both teams, so the duel between the wingbacks and those operating in the half-spaces could determine this clash.
• Yildiz is Juve’s top scorer in Serie A with five goals in 14 matches, and he has been on the mark three times in their last five games.

Betting Insights

• Both Teams To Score at 1.77 is our main selection for this game as neither side is averse to having a go and they both possess the talent to find the back of the net.
• Spalletti tends to favour a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 with Juventus, where the emphasis is on quick progressions, rapid counter-pressing and the wingbacks providing the width for a balanced system.
• Juventus are slight favourites with the bookmakers at 2.15, Roma are priced at 3.99, and a draw is 3.34.

Prediction

• We’ll side with Spalletti’s team to edge it because they are stronger at home and have a little more momentum than Roma.
• Juventus can win because of the clinical edge that Kenan Yildiz provides in the final third.
