AS Roma vs Juventus Torino Picks
Juventus last won “Stadio Olimpico” on May 11, 2014 with 1-0 (Dani Osvaldo 90 + 4). Since then the results of Serie A between Roma and Juventus have been 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 0-0 and 2-0. In the matches played at home “Giallorossi” had 5 successes, 2 draws and 2 defeats, while “Bianconeri” had 6 victories, 2 draws and one defeat. Rome needs 3p to finish the tour in 4th place and try to distance themselves from Atalanta Bergamo, who will play in Milan with Internazionale. Juventus also need success, because they would lose first place in Inter’s favor. The hosts also have lot problems, but they will certainly mobilize to get a positive result with the champion. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 3 goals in the first game of 2020 with Cagliari a superb goal with Sampdoria one stage later in very good form. And Paulo Dybala is having a good time, so I expect Juve not to lose in Rome. It will be a balanced match in which I see no team to score 3 goals.
