A match of the 17th round in Italian Serie A will be held in Turin, where Juventus will host Roma at their home ground. If the Zebras will manage to win this game, then the victory will mean practical surrender of the Wolves, as the gap between Juve and the Romans will reach seven points, which will be extremely hard to recoup within conditions of the Italian championship.
Juventus perform extremely well at home, and the team’s statistics proves that. Within eight played games in Serie A at Juventus Stadium, there have been eight victories with total score of 23:6. That is why there is no surprise about the fact, that the White and Blacks are approaching the forthcoming game as favorites. It is also important to say, that Higuain has gained some great shape, which was seen in the match against Torino.
Roma is also in a good shape right now, Spalletti’s team has won four out of five previous matches. The only draw happened in the away game against Astra in Europa League, apart from that, there were only victories: over Viktoria, Pescara, Lazio and Milan. The Wolves have 35 points in the asset and the second place in Serie A tournament table. The Romans have had eight away matches, in which they’ve had three victories with two draws and three losses.
Juventus perform perfectly at home and will probably not lose in the upcoming game. It is also hard to believe, that the central match in Italy will be effective, as the two best defenses of the championship meet, and the price of a goal in this game is very high. The competitors know each other very well and there should not be any surprises.
Prediction for the match: Juventus not to lose and under 3.5 goals in the match.
