Monday’s match-up between AS Roma and Juventus sees two of Serie A’s in-form teams lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma are unbeaten since mid-December, while Juve have won seven of their last ten games.
Roma’s veteran boss, Claudio Ranieri, can do no wrong right now for the Giallorossi. After a tricky spell in autumn, losing six in seven games, something has clicked in a big way since the festive season.
In fact, the Giallorossi have won all but one home game since 7th December, with only Napoli managing to hold Roma back in early February. Roma have been the top performing team in Serie A during 2025. They’ve amassed 32 points since the turn of the New Year.
Juventus parted ways with Thiago Motta following disappointing defeats to Atalanta and Fiorentina. They replaced Motta with former midfielder, Igor Tudor, who won his first game in charge against Genoa.
Despite Motta’s sacking, Juve are still the third most in-form side in Serie A over the last eight fixtures. Unfortunately for them, Roma are the number one form team right now.
Probable Lineups for Roma vs Juventus
Roma Expected Lineup: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hummels, Shaarawy, Angelino, Kone, Paredes, Soule, Pellegrini, Dovbyk
Juventus Expected Lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Kelly, Veiga, Gonzalez, McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Koopmeiners, Yildiz, Vlahovic
Difficult to Separate the Sides
When two in-form teams meet, it’s often hard for either side to get on top. That could be the case on Monday. Juventus will likely be the more content team with a draw, as it would maintain a three-point buffer between themselves and the Giallorossi.
Although Roma have only drawn 7% of their home games this term, Juve have drawn more than two-fifths (43%) of their away fixtures. Juve have also lost just twice in their 14 games away from Turin.
