Roma form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio Olimpico as Roma have scored 13 goals to get 22 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 7-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Ever since the Torino game Roma has been unbeatable here at Stadio Olimpico producing four straight wins.

Roma lost their last game at Cremonese (placed 19th) after a 1-2 scoreline. The first loss after going undefeated through three league games. Spinazzola (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.43/10. Spinazzola scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Ahead of that result, a home victory against Salzburg in the Europa League. This is expected to be a close game, with Roma perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Roma as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Roma has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this team's last 12 league matches, 9 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Real Sociedad are coming to town in four days.

Roma are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. As for guarding their own goal, Roma have only let in {5 goals} at home. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Juventus form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most clean sheets (15) in Serie A, on their Serie A travels is 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Juventus hope to make it five in this match.

Bremer, Cuadrado, Danilo and Rabiot scored in Juventus's previous match, the home game against Torino that ended 4-2. As you can tell from the result, the match against Torino was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Bremer was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.11. The defender Bremer scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 8 of 8 duels.

Previously, the Europa League win away at Nantes. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Juventus in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Juventus, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Observe: 15 of the last 18 league games featuring this team have ended with only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in the betting world).

A quick return to home after this game, as Juventus are hosting Freiburg in the Europa League only four days away.

They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far). It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Juventus have avoided defeat in the last 5 games (3-2-0) versus Roma.
