Prediction: 1-1
Juventus
There will be fireworks when Roma and Juventus face each other at Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A derby. The Giallorossi aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Milan, with the team eyeing their seventh home win of the process. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will Tammy Abraham, who found the net in the midweek defeat, while both Mancini and Karsdorp are out of contention through suspension.
All Felix Afena-Gyan, Amadou Diawara, and Ebrima Darboe are on international duty. The Bianconeri, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Napoli in the last league match. Max Allegri’s troops are eager to keep their Scudetto hopes alive, and seeing that they are likely to go for a win in Sunday’s derby as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Bonucci and Danilo are sidelined with injuries, while fellow defender Chiellini has been tested positive for COVID-19.
Highlighted Player (Rui Patricio):
Sporting Lisbon and Portugal national team goalkeeper Rui Patricio is a one-club man. He was reportedly close to signing with Serie A giants Inter Milan during the 2008 of-season, but he remained in his club where he will most likely hang up his boots when the time comes. The 28-year-old shot stopper spent most of his career with the Lions making his debut with the first-team at only 18 years of age.
Rui Patricio went on to appear in more than 350 official games for the Portugal greats and remains the first-choice keeper for his club and country. Having gone through all the youth selections with the national team, Rui Patricio was given his first senior cap in 2010 after Paulo Bento’s appointment.
Rui Patricio represented his national team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and three European Championships. The 28-year-old was the mainstay in Portugal’s historic Euro 2016 title in France.
Highlighted Team (Juventus):
Juventus are considered one of the greatest European football clubs. The Bianconeri (The White and Blacks) have won two Champions League trophies (1985, 1996) and they did well to clinch three UEFA Cup titles (1977, 1990, 1993). The Italian giants have won 32 Serie A trophies and it is well known that a number of star players were part of Juve in the past.
The likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Lilian Thuram, Filippo Inzaghi, Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet all played for Juventus, whilst legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has yet to retire. Juve were stripped two domestic trophies during the “Calciopoli” scandal, but despite being relegated to Serie B, the club quickly brought glory days back to Turin. The Bianconeri used to play their home games at Stadio delle Alpi, but nowadays they welcome their rivals at Juventus Stadium.
The capacity of the stadium is 41,475. La Vechhia Signora (The Old Lady) is yet another nickname of the club. Juve’s biggest rivals are Torino and the two local rivals take on each other in the Turin derby.
