Prediction: 2-0
AS Roma
Sparkles will be flying when Juventus and Roma square off against each other at Allianz Stadium in the Serie A derby. Juve have been producing excellent displays under new boss Tiago Motta and they must be high on confidence following back-to-back wins over Como (3-0) and Verona (3-0). A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Dusan Vlahovic, who scored a brace in the triumph over the Mastini, while the likes of Arkadiusz Milik, Timothy Weah, Khepren Thuram, Vasilije Adzic, and Fabio Miretti remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Romans, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Empoli despite the fact that Paulo Dybala has committed his future to the capital club, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the high-flying “Old Lady”. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Turin.
