The situation of both teams ahead of the match

AS Roma – A Surge Under the New Regime

Roma is enjoying a remarkable run with 4 consecutive victories in Serie A. The change in management has brought a fresh energy to the capital club. Currently sitting 5th with 53 points, they are just 2 points behind 4th-place Juventus.

Roma’s Last 5 Matches:

Roma 3-0 Sassuolo (Serie A)
Fiorentina 0-2 Roma (Serie A)
Roma 1-0 Torino (Serie A)
Monza 1-4 Roma (Serie A)
Roma 0-1 Brighton (Europa League)

The Olimpico has become a fortress for Roma with an impressive record of 13 wins and just 2 losses in their last 15 matches. Their attack is firing on all cylinders, having scored 10 goals in their last 4 games, while their defense has kept 3 clean sheets in 4 matches.

Roma also has the historic opportunity to break a 7-match winless streak against Juventus.

Juventus – Unresolved Crisis

Juventus is enduring their toughest phase of the season, with only 1 win in their last 8 Serie A matches (1 win, 4 draws, 3 losses). From leading the table, they have dropped to 4th place with 55 points and are in danger of being overtaken by teams behind them.

Juventus’ Last 5 Matches:

Juventus 1-1 Genoa (Serie A)
Inter 1-0 Juventus (Serie A)
Juventus 0-0 Atalanta (Serie A)
Napoli 2-1 Juventus (Serie A)
Juventus 3-2 Frosinone (Serie A)

Notably, Juventus has failed to win in their last 5 away games (2 draws, 3 losses), which is rare in the club’s history. Their attack has been struggling with only 3 goals in the last 5 games, while their defense is no longer a reliable backbone.

Pressure is mounting on coach Thiago Motta as the team risks missing out on Champions League qualification for next season.

Squad News and Predicted Lineups

AS Roma

Unavailable:

Lorenzo Pellegrini (suspended – red card)
Tammy Abraham (muscle injury)
Chris Smalling (back injury)

Doubtful:

Paulo Dybala (fitness test before the match)

Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Roma will miss captain Pellegrini due to suspension, but the good news is that Azmoun has fully recovered and is ready to play. The coach is also waiting to see if Dybala can start.

Midfield duo Cristante and Paredes will be key in controlling the tempo, while El Shaarawy is expected to shine against Juventus’ vulnerable defense.

Juventus

Unavailable:

Arkadiusz Milik (knee injury)
Bremer (ACL injury)
Nicolò Fagioli (5th yellow card)
Carlos Alcaraz (calf injury)

Doubtful:

Dusan Vlahovic (muscle injury)
Federico Chiesa (ankle injury)

Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Juventus is facing a significant personnel crisis. The absence of Bremer, a key defender, leaves their defense exposed. Fagioli’s suspension is also a major loss for the midfield.

Vlahovic and Chiesa are both struggling with injuries, but Vlahovic is expected to recover in time to start. However, his form is concerning, with only 1 goal in his last 6 games.

Tactical Analysis and Match Highlights

Roma’s Strengths

Roma is playing with high morale and motivation. Their style has become more flexible and effective, blending ball control with quick counter-attacks. Particularly, Roma’s left wing with El Shaarawy and Angelino could cause serious problems for Juventus’ shaky right flank. Azmoun, who has scored 3 goals in his last 4 matches, is also in excellent form.

In midfield, Paredes (a former Juventus player) will play a pivotal role in dictating the game’s tempo. His experience and technical ability could exploit the gaps in Juventus’ defense.

Juventus’ Weaknesses

Juventus is struggling with both their attack and defense. Without Bremer, their defense becomes vulnerable with several noticeable mistakes. Gatti and Danilo have not demonstrated strong chemistry, and their full-backs have been unreliable defensively.

In attack, Vlahovic is experiencing a tough patch, with a low conversion rate from chances. Chiesa’s fitness is still a concern, which weakens their offensive capabilities.

Moreover, Juventus players’ mental state is low after a series of disappointing results. The pressure to stay in the top 4 is making them prone to mistakes in crucial moments.
