Roma v Juventus Betting Preview – Serie A 14th May 7.45pm

The pressure is on for this one and this could be the title-deciding game. Juventus hold a seven-point lead at the top over second-placed Roma in Serie A, so the title would be theirs if they just pick up a draw at the minimum. Roma needs to come out and throw the kitchen sink at this one to close the gap to four points with two games to play. It would probably be too little too late, but the door would still be open.

Roma v Juventus Serie A Betting Tips

It is inevitable that Juventus are going to win the title anyway, but can Roma delay their celebration by beating them on the weekend? If they win they will be within four points of Juve with just the two games to go. Roma took a home win over Juve last season taking a 2-1 win but that has been their only win in their last six played against Juve. This is going to be a tight scrap and under 2.5 goals in the game at bet365 brings in a quote of even money which looks big value. Roma lost 1-0 at Juventus earlier in the season and have now lost their last two against them by that scoreline. In the bet365 correct score market, a Juventus 1-0 score is a price of 9/1 with a Roma 1-0 trading a little shorter at 17/2. Roma have outscored Juve in the league this season with Mohamed Salah impressing and he is a price of 15/8 in the anytime goalscorer market. Unfortunately for Roma though, their top scorer this season Edin Dzeko is out with an injury. They will miss him. Roma have gone W14 D1 L2 at home this season in the league but lost their last home game against Lazio.

A point will do for Juventus then to get their hands on the title and they will have their spirits up after moving through to the Champions League final in midweek against Monaco. Juventus have posted a W10 D3 L4 record away from home in Serie A this season and overall, home and away, haven’t lost since a 2-1 defeat at Fiorentina back on January 15th (W12 D4). This season Juventus have only conceded the 23 league goals and are so tough to break down. Both teams not to score in this one is a price of 6/5 with Bet365. Juventus have won five of their last seven Serie A clashes with Roma (D1 L1), scoring in each of these games. Gonzalo Higuain is a 4/1 favourite in the first goalscorer market and he needs one more strike to become the first Juventus player to bag 25+ goals in a Serie A season since Omar Sivori in 1960/61. Juventus have drawn their last two league games, and it’s been a long, long time since they drew three in a row. But that would do for them in this one.
