Juventus – Roma. Forecast and announcement for the match of the Italian championship

On December 20, Allianz Stadium will host a match of the 16th round of Serie A in Italy, in which Juventus will meet with Roma. The match will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

Juventus

The team last showed a good result under Allegri, in the season before last. But he was dismissed with a scandal right after the successful cup final. Thiago Motta, who took his place in Turin, was a complete failure. Tudor was the savior at first, although they only finished at least fourth in Serie A. But then there were further setbacks that culminated in a lengthy winless streak. After another defeat in the fall, they took him too.

The new coach was Spalletti, who was perceived ambiguously, and there were draws in the first matches under him. But in the last six matches, they managed to win mostly, including against Bologna, which is quite strong now. On the other hand, there was an unpleasant exception: they still conceded to Naples, 1:2 on the road.

Roma

Last season, the club made a false start at the start, with De Rossi and especially Yurich. It got to the point that Ranieri, who only retired in the summer, returned to Rome – and almost created a new football miracle, almost lifting the new-old wards to the Champions League. However, they were one point behind Juventus.

As announced in the spring, Gasperini took the vacated position. With him, Dovbyk clearly began to play less, and then he got injured. However, Gian Piero turned out to be a flexible specialist and built a game with an emphasis on defense. It brings overall success, and it even managed to take a shot at leadership. But recently there were failures, with 0:1 not only with Roma, but also with Cagliari. However, after that they defeated Celtic on the road in the Europa League, and then scored the only goal in the match against Como.

Statistics of personal meetings

All the last three matches brought draws, 1:1 or 0:0.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe that the hosts will have a better chance of success. But such important matches are rarely spectacular here – we expect a total of less than 2.5 goals (coefficient – 1.65).
