AS Roma vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-04-05 18:45.
[p]Despite scoring just once in each of their last three Serie A matches, including a 1-0 victory over Lecce last Saturday, Roma have stretched their winning run in the league to seven games and remain within four points of the top four. In his second spell in charge, Claudio Ranieri continues to write history as the Giallorossi now have the chance to register eight consecutive top-flight victories for the first time since March 2016![/p]
[p]Scoring first could be crucial in replicating that feat, as Roma boast a perfect home record (W8) after going 1-0 up in Serie A this season, and with a hugely impressive 12 wins in their last 13 outings across all competitions at the Stadio Olimpico (D1), they will be confident of overturning any potential deficit. The arrival of Juventus could complicate things though, as Ranieri’s men are yet to win a game this season against a side starting this round in the top five (D3, L4).[/p]
[p]New Juventus manager Igor Tudor got off to a winning start after succeeding Thiago Motta, masterminding a 1-0 triumph over Genoa last Saturday which halted their run of back-to-back defeats. The Bianconeri enter this round of fixtures only a point off the top four, but with just three of their 14 Serie A victories this season coming against current top-nine teams (D7, L3), they have their work cut out here.[/p]
[p]Juventus have lost only two of their 14 away league matches this season (W6, D6), but both defeats came during their last four trips – each time against fellow European qualification hopefuls. The most recent of those losses came against Fiorentina and halted an impressive run of seven consecutive Serie A games on the road in which the Old Lady had opened the scoring – on three occasions inside 15 minutes.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Artem Dovbyk has netted a second-half winner in Roma’s last two matches, while seven of his last eight goals have arrived after half-time. Kenan Yıldız became the first scorer of the Tudor era at Juventus after getting the winner against Genoa, with each of his last three goals arriving inside 25 minutes.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Ahead of the round, Roma have conceded a joint league-low two goals in the opening 30 minutes of their home games this season.[/p]
