Juventus vs AS Roma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-19 19:45.
[p]With Juventus and Roma’s closest title challengers engaged in the Supercoppa Italiana action this weekend, these two sides have a great opportunity to lay down a marker.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Juventus’ 1-0 victory against Bologna last Sunday saw them leapfrog their opponents to move into fifth in Serie A. Juve have now won five of their last six competitive matches (L1), part of a wider run of just one defeat from their 11 matches since the end of Igor Tudor’s reign (W7, D3), yet the fact they remain four points shy of the top four shows they’re still making up for lost time. Bridging that gap to fourth-placed Roma seems likely on home turf, where Juventus have won three successive games and are unbeaten since the start of this season across all competitions (W6, D5), including both their matches here against current top-four sides (W1, D1).[/p]
[p]Roma kept themselves in the title race by beating Como 1-0 on Monday, and they start this round only three points behind leaders Inter. Narrow results have been a common theme this season, with ten of Roma’s 15 league matches this term producing a 1-0 score (W5, L5), including their latest league trip to Cagliari (L 1-0). Despite that, it was only the second away Serie A defeat for Roma this season (W5), and having won 12 of their 17 top-flight road trips in 2025 (D2, L3), they should feel confident of signing off for the year on their travels in style.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Both sides have won once across the last six H2Hs (D4), with none of the previous six meetings between this pair witnessing more than two goals scored.[/p]

[p]Given the recent results of both sides, and with Roma’s tendency to be involved in low-scoring affairs, a bet on under 1.5 goals at generous odds seems a risk worth taking.[/p]
