Paulo Dybala grabbed a goal in midweek and might be included from the start for this big game after he has started the last few on the bench. Juventus are short at right-back after another injury to Mattia De Sciglio. The biggest blow is that Gianluigi Buffon will miss out as he is still struggling with a muscular problem.

Roma Team News

Patrick Schick has featured more regularly of late but is unlikely to start this game. Diego Perotti and Stephan El Shaarawy will start with Edin Dzeko in the front three. Rick Karsdorp and Gregoire Defrel are injured.

Juventus v Roma Predictions

Juventus are undefeated in 37 of their last 38 home matches in Serie A competition, so it would take a monumental effort for Roma to claim a win here. Juve are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions, winning four of those.  A 1-0 away win at Napoli a few weeks ago reinvigorated the Old Lady’s season and thus they’ll go into this game as favourites.

Roma are in excellent form too, having won 16 of their last 20 matches in Serie A. In their last ten matches in all competitions, Roma have only lost once which was in a Champions League fixture. They will be seeing less of the ball than they are used to, so it is likely to be a counter-attacking game plan.

The tip is for Juventus to edge this, in what will be an extremely competitive game. A 2-1 Correct Score bet looks like decent value.
