Both Juventus and Roma will be looking to maintain their promising starts to the season when they clash on Saturday in their Serie A Matchday three.
Juventus are coming off a 0-0 draw at Sampdoria in their previous league tie. The Old Lady had the majority of the possession but they were not lethal enough upfront as they only mastered four attempts on target.
They are however still unbeaten in the league as they began their campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win over Sassuolo. They will consider the draw at Sampdoria a minor setback and will be looking to get things on back on track on Saturday.
Juventus have only suffered one defeat at home in their last 13 Serie A matches and should be confident of extending the run on Saturday.
Roma, meanwhile, have made a 100% start to the new Serie A as they have won both their opening two matches, beating Salernitana and Cremonese 1-0 in both matches.
Their target this season will be to break into the top four places although they are actually considered title contenders in some quarters. Their perfect start to the campaign will be crucial for them to challenge for both but that’s if they can maintain the momentum.
