Juventus vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
Juventus was eliminated by Atalanta in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia last year and did not win the cup for the first time in five years. For opponent AS Roma, cup success is much longer ago. The last time they won this prize was in 2008.
Juventus:
Although Cristiano Ronaldo will turn 35 in two weeks time, there is nothing to be seen on the field. The Portuguese has now scored seven league games in a row and made a total of eleven goals in this series. In the first match of the year against Cagliari, he made his first hat-trick in Serie A and last weekend against Parma both goals came from his right foot. Just before half-time he was lucky that his shot was changed direction by a defender, in the second half he shot the winner in from an assist from Paolo Dybala. Under Maurizio Sarri, the team seems to be in better service for the top player than last season. Only once before did the five-time Golden Ball winner set such a good series, with Real Madrid he once managed to score eleven games in a row.
Because competitor Inter spilled two rounds of games in a row and De Oude Dame of Parma and AS Roma managed to win, the first and even four points are separate from the Nerazzuri. Due to the good performance in the competition, Sarri will not have to think about sparing these match players and so the regular eleven are expected.
Roma:
AS Roma also finally has the first wins of 2020. Paolo Fonseca’s team started the new year with defeats against the two teams from Turin. Torino was 0-2 too strong in the first game thanks to two Belotti hits. A week later, it got plenty of opportunities in the home game against Juventus, but Juve used the odds much more efficiently. Moreover, the creative pivot in midfield Nicolo Zaniolo dropped out and he will be out of circulation for the rest of the season and will miss the European Championship.
Last week the Giallorossi won entirely from Parma in the Coppa Italia thanks to two hits from Pellegrini. Three days later the first points for the competition were also taken in Genoa. Justin Kluivert was in the starting line-up for the first time since he got injured at the end of November and already gave an assist on Cengiz Under after six minutes. Fifteen minutes before the end, the decision was made by Edin Dzeko, the young midfielder Pellegrini was again important with an assist.
