Italy Serie A: Roma Vs Juventus Preview, Head To Head, Lineup And Predictions (06/05/2024)

A pivotal Serie A match is slated to transpire on May 5th, 2024, involving AS Roma and Juventus FC. The previous meeting between the two teams ended in a decisive 3-1 Roma victory. Throughout their rivalries in previous seasons, the two teams have met 36 times. Roma has achieved victory in nine of these contests, while Juventus has emerged victorious in twenty of them, with the remaining seven games resulting in a deadlock.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Commencing with the hosts, who lost 2-0 at home to newly-crowned Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League semi-finals on Wednesday, Roma will be looking to respond immediately in this match. 

Since Daniele De Rossi's return to Rome earlier this year, the Wolves have been relatively impressive and in a strong position to contend for a Champions League re-entry this season. 

Since his last appearance in Serie A, when his squad salvaged a 2-2 draw away at now-defunct champions Napoli, the former SPAL manager has overseen his squad to just one loss in their last twelve meetings against top-flight opponents. 

Building upon their historic 3-1 aggregate victory over AC Milan in the Europa League last month, Roma will be aiming to take another significant scalp in this match. De Rossi's squad, who welcomed their historic rivals to the Stadio Olimpico last season and claimed a 1-0 victory, will be looking to replicate that performance on Sunday.

In regard to the visitors, despite the fact that Juventus experienced a brief period of remarkable form just prior to the start of the year, the Old Lady has precipitously descended into reality. 

Last weekend, when they were held scoreless at home against historic rivals AC Milan, Massimiliano Allegri's squad did exhibit the characteristics of a unit in need of a significant boost. Since being eliminated from the Copa Italia by Lazio 2-1 last month, the visitors on Sunday have been winless in their last four domestic contests across all competitions. 

Similarly, since February 25th, Juventus have won just once in their last eight Serie A contests, which is an astonishing streak. As apprehension regarding Allegri's future in Turin grows, the Old Lady's problems on the road continue to accumulate. Juve, which has been victorious in its last seven consecutive contests away from the Allianz, may be subjected to yet another severe examination in this venue.

Predicted & Confirmed Lineups

Roma (predicted lineup): Mile Svilar, Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, Diego Llorente, Angeliño, Bryan Cristante, Leandro Paredes, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Tommaso Baldanzi, Romelu Lukaku, Stephan El Shaarawy.

Juventus (predicted lineup): Wojciech Szczesny, Federico Gatti, Bremer, Danilo, Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa.

Our Predictions

Under 2.5 goals

Don't be shocked if there are few opportunities in this situation, even if there may be a heavyweight match in the Stadio Olimpico this weekend. Juventus have continued to exhibit their difficulties in the final third, while Roma opened their Europa League semi-final journey with a 2-0 defeat at home against Bayer Leverkusen a few days before this match. It is worth noting that the previous six meetings between the opponents on Sunday have all concluded with under 2.5 goals. Consequently, a comparable result is anticipated in Rome.
