In the postponement on Saturday evening, the Bianconeri are favorites to extend their streak of positive results
On Saturday evening in the postponement of Serie A, kick-off at 20pm, Juventus and Roma will return to face each other with the declared objective of continuing to collect points so as not to lose further contact with league leaders Inter. Three points for the Champions League are up for grabs but also the desire to end 45 on a high note at the end of the year. Roma in the championship is fresh from a convincing home victory against Napoli. Juventus, on the other hand, from the away success in Frosinone and brought their streak of positive results in the league to twelve with 2023 wins and 9 draws, with the last defeat dating back to 3 September at the Mapei Stadium against Sassuolo by 23 to 4.
In Serie A there are 174 precedents between Juventus and Roma with a clear Juventus dominance for having doubled the victories. There are 83 victories won by the Piedmontese, compared to just 41 by the Giallorossi, who also have 50 draws to their credit. We start again from 1-1 at Allianz last season, goals from Vlahovic and Abraham, who interrupted a matchlotto of nine consecutive successes in the new stadium of the Lady.
Massimiliano Allegri will have to take into account the absence of the suspended Cambiaso and the physical conditions of Chiesa and Locatelli who trained separately during the week together with Perin, Kean and De Sciglio. Szczesny will still be proposed between the posts as the last rearguard of the usual three-man defense with Bremer at center and Gatti and Danilo at full back. Mckennie will be there to act either as a midfielder or on the right lane. Weah should be preferred in midfield to Miretti and will partner Rabiot and Kostic. If Chiesa doesn't make it, the eighteen-year-old Turkish Yildiz will certainly be brought back in attack, who responded with a splendid goal against Frosinone, and he will team up with Vlahovic who also scored in his last league outing.
Usual tactical structure, 3 – 5 – 2, that of Roma who will propose Mourinho against Juventus. Rui Patricio will once again be in goal, the extreme bastion of a defense with Llorente in the centre, Mancini on the right and N'Dicka on the left. On the opposite side in attack, the former Dybala should be available again and will be in the match but not from the first minute and could give way to the Iranian Azmoun who will team up with Lukaku. In midfield on the right wing there is room for Kristensen while Zalewski or Spinazzola are doubtful on the left. Finally, in the middle of the field, the presence of Parades and Spinazzola is certain, with Bove or Pellegrini who will compete for the last starting shirt.
The field factor and the twelve points that separate them in the standings tip the scales in favor of Juventus whose success is banked by BetFlag at 2,08, however far from the 4,00 of Roma's 2 and with the which multiplies by 3,05. Vlahovic leads the special ranking of the possible first or last scorer of the match at 6,00, followed by Milik at 8,25, Chiesa at 8,50, Yildiz at 8,75, Belotti, El Shaarawy and Amoun at 11,00 and then to follow the others.
