Roma and Juventus are back in action this weekend when they square off at the Stadio Olimpico in the 21st round of the Serie A. Match day schedules for 9th 2021 at 20:30 EAT.
Roma has been pushed to the 7th place in the league table with 32 points after 20 matches. Mourinho’s team has only managed two victories from their six most recent outings, and they must now face opponents that have beaten them in both of the teams’ last two meetings – and five of the last nine in the league.
Roma will be hoping to bounce back here following 3-1 Serie A defeat last time out at the hands of AC Milan. In that match, Roma managed 45% possession, 11 shots with five of them on target and a goal scored by Tammy Abraham (40′). AC Milan got 18 shots with four of them on target and goals by Olivier Giroud (8′), Junior Messias (17′) and Rafael Leão (82′).
Meanwhile, Juventus have had an outstanding performance that sees them in the 5th spot in the league with 35 points after 20 matches. The visitors have won just 27% of their away games since the start of the season and they’ve lost in five of their last six visits to the Allianz Stadium. Massimiliano Allegri’s men will want to continue with their run of seven games without defeat this weekend, and maintain a defensive revival that has seen them concede just twice during that spell.
In the game prior to this one Juventus shared spoils 1-1 in the Serie A match with SSC Napoli. In that match, Juventus had 44% possession, 22 shots with dive of them on target and a goal scored by Federico Chiesa (54′). Napoli got 16 shots with four of them on target and a goal by Dries Mertens (23′).
