Roma vs Juventus Prediction: Serie A Match on 12.01.2019

It is supposedly one of the most anticipated big matches in Serie A. Yet, considering their latest result each, it is not easy for the host to even snatch a point here. Paulo Fonseca needs to come up with a better plan for staying in the top four. This weekend will be the perfect time to test his team and formula against the reigning Champions, Juventus, the only most stable team for the past few years in Serie A.

Roma and Juventus Previous Matches

Il Giallorossi failed to begin their 2020 campaign impressively. They were stunned by Torino’s form, especially their captain, Andrea Bellotti. He bagged a brace that brought his team to their first victory in Olympico Roma since 2007. Paulo Fonseca’s men seemed to be unable to break the deadlock and frustrated by Salvatore Sirigu’s and his defensive teammates’ amazing form.

La Vecchia Signora showed their true class while hosting the potential dark horse this season, Cagliari. They hammered Rolando Maran’s men 4-0. It was, of course, none but Cristiano Ronaldo who was the man of the match with his hattrick. Another goal was scored by his Argentinean comrade, Gonzalo Higuain.

Possible Tactic

AS Roma under Fonseca is quite offensive with his 4-2-3-1 formation relying on Edin Dzeko and two wingers plus a number-ten player to support him. Nevertheless, such a tactic seemed to be easily anticipated in the previous match. Therefore, he could try to employ 3-4-2-1 to apply layered wall as well as limit the space for Dybala, Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo to create chances.

Meanwhile, Maurizio Sarri tweaks his preference at last. Lately, he often deploys 4-3-1-2 instead of his favorite 4-3-3 to accommodate Dybala and CR7’s potential. It seems to have worked well so far.

Players to Watch

Besides the top scorer Edin Dzeko, Giallorossi’s current top performers this season are Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nicolo Zaniolo. These two Italian youngsters have been impressive this season. The former has scored one goal and provided six assists and the latter has netted four goals and one assist.

In Sarri’s squad this season, Cristiano Ronaldo is certainly the top performer with thirteen goals and two assists. Another notable one is the Argentinean Paulo Dybala with his five goals and one assist in Serie A.

Roma vs Juventus Prediction

Leonardo Bonucci and Co are still the favorite in this fixture despite playing away. If Roma still plays the same way they did while losing against Torino, they will be in deep trouble as Juventus can definitely do a lot worse than Il Toro.

Betting Odds

According to the punters, there is no clear favorite for this game. Yet, the host is in the lower win market at 3.15, whereas The Old Lady is backed to win at 2.15. The draw result is at a value of 3.70.
