After the international break, Juventus look to regain their confidence in Serie A this weekend when they take on Roma. The match schedules for Sunday at the Allianz Stadium, with kickoff at 9:45 pm.
Juve’s recovery has picked up the pace before the international break, but the appointment of Jose Mourinho for the guests has led the club to fourth place in the overall standings.
When midfielder Manuel Locatelli scored four minutes before the end of the match, Juventus won their victory in the Turin derby, which is very important for Juventus.
Additionally, Juventus FC secured a 2-0 victory over Cagliari Calcio, their first victory in four matches. That victory was preceded by a clean sheet, which had been lacking in a previous couple of games.
A comeback and the first-ever success at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium seem to have provided the latest spurt of momentum for the Old Lady, who are currently seven points off leaders Roma in Serie A.
On the other hand, after a bitter-disappointing loss to the Derby Della Capitale against Lazio, Roma returned to win in the Europa Conference League and a win over newly-promoted Empoli – previously winner against Juventus – while the international break paused.
While the Roma have now won six home games in a row, they are under-challenged this year as an away team.

Juventus Team News
After injuries, Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata haven’t returned to the pitch yet, and Moise Kean could start in the derby. He should join Federico Chiesa and Federico Bernardeschi.
But two uncapped players, Dejan Kulusevsi and Brazilian wildcard Kaio Jorge – now fit again after a break on the sidelines – could also appear in Max Allegri’s thinking.
Roma Team News
Roma also has some selection problems in attack due to injury because Tammy Abraham was unable to play due to an ankle injury and struggled to get on the bench for Sunday’s game.
Prediction and Odds
Roma’s away form is still shaky, and an intimidating record at Allianz Stadium won’t get better on Sunday.
- Draw
- Goals Under 2.5
- Both Teams to Score
