Expectations for goals at the Stadio Olimpico

Roma has shown solid performance in Serie A, scoring 34 goals over their 26 games. They are particularly effective at home, with 19 goals in 13 matches, averaging 1.46 goals per game. Additionally, the team has been strong defensively, allowing just six goals in front of their home crowd.

As it stands, only Inter Milan (62) has netted more goals in Serie A this season compared to Juventus’ 43. The Old Lady has managed to score 18 goals across 13 away matches, averaging 1.38 goals per game. Interestingly, in half of Juve’s league encounters this season, both sides have found the back of the net.

This matchup has seen both teams find the net in their last two encounters. Furthermore, in four of their last five clashes at the Stadio Olimpico, both sides managed to score. With Juventus tallying nine goals in their recent five matches, the likelihood of both teams scoring again is quite high.

Betting Suggestion for Roma vs Juventus: Both Teams to Score – Yes at odds of 1.90 on bet365

A cautious beginning anticipated

This season, both teams have frequently begun their home and away league matches at a sluggish pace. Considering their standings, neither team will want to be the first to give up their advantage. A cautious strategy is anticipated in this matchup instead of a free-flowing game.

The Old Lady has drawn at half-time in six out of their 13 away matches. With a frequency of 46%, this indicates that a draw at the interval is quite probable. Roma’s performance also aligns with this pattern for the upcoming match on Sunday.

The home team ended up with a draw in 42% of their league games leading up to the break. At their own ground, seven out of 13 matches were tied at halftime, representing 54% of the instances. Additionally, three of the last five encounters and three of the last four clashes at this location resulted in a stalemate in the first half.

The Giallorossi are brimming with confidence following a dominant 3-0 victory against Cremonese last weekend. This win has positioned them fourth in the league, putting them on track to qualify for Champions League football for the first time in seven years.

Although they have high hopes, Juventus is trailing closely in the league standings. The home team has only a four-point lead over their opponents this Sunday. Roma needs to secure at least a draw this weekend to preserve their fourth position and maintain a gap from Juve.

The Old Lady has staged one of the season’s remarkable comebacks in the UCL this week. Following a disappointing 5-2 loss to Galatasaray in the first leg last week, the Italian side rallied. Juventus netted three consecutive goals on Wednesday night, pushing the match into extra time.

Nonetheless, Galatasaray netted two goals during the extra 30 minutes, eliminating Juve from the tournament. Luciano Spalletti’s squad has tasted the intensity of elite European football and requires a victory here to secure a spot next year.
