Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
AS Roma
Allianz Stadium will host Coppa Italia quarter-final match between Juventus and Roma. When the two teams met at Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A ten days ago the Bianconeri defeated the Giallorossi 2-1, which is surely giving home fans a reason for optimism ahead of Wednesday’s clash. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been scoring goals for fun in 2020, will be the man to watch in the home team, and we predict that he is going to make life difficult for the opposition defenders.
The Romans, on the other hand, prove their worth in a 3-1 win at Genoa, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the Italian Cup game against Juve. Aleksandar Kolarov returns from suspension, but the Serbia international is unlikely to help the capital club avoid defeat at Allianz Stadium as Maurizio Sarri’s men have been in a terrific form of late.
Highlighted Player (Cristiano Ronaldo):
Cristiano Ronaldo is considered one of the world’s best football players. The Portuguese ace was born on 5 February, 1985 in Funchal, Madeira and he played for the likes of Andorinha, Nacional and Sporting during his youth career. CR7 made his Sporting debut in Primeira Liga on 7 October, 2002, scoring two goals in a 3-0 win over Moreirense.
Manchester United scouts spotted him and one year later he joined the Old Trafford outfit. Ronaldo became the most expensive teenager in the history of the Premier League and he received the number 7 shirt. He quickly established himself as the team’s key player and it has to be noted that he won three consecutive Premier League trophies with the Red Devils (2006/2007, 2007/2008, 2008/2009). In 2008 he helped the Old Trafford outfit beat Chelsea in the Champions League final, scoring for Alex Ferguson’s troops in the regular time.
Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2009 and he helped the Spanish giants with two Champions League trophies. In 2016 he won the European Championship trophy with Portugal. The Real Madrid ace has two Golden Ball awards (2013, 2014).
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico. The two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
