Juventus can secure a semi final place at Roma’s expense
Juve started their Coppa Italia campaign with a comfortable 4-0 home success over Udinese. The Old Lady are the most successful club in the history of the tournament, having won the cup 18 times. They missed out on making it five straight titles last season when they suffered a shock quarter final exit against Atalanta.
Juventus have recently taken back control at the top of Serie A, having been under massive pressure from Inter. The Bianocneri are currently on a four match winning streak in all competitions, one of those being a recent away win at Roma in the league. It wasn’t a comfortable ride for them, with Roma having the lion’s share of the game.
The home form of Juventus this season is pretty impeccable across all competitions. They have only failed to win one fixture in Turin, a league draw against Sassuolo back at the start of December. Other than that, it has been perfect. They are not as defensively strong as last season, having only earned two clean sheets in their last seven games in all competitions.
Roma can get on the scoresheet in Turin
Roma have netted at least two goals five of their last six away games in all competitions. In the last round of the Coppa Italia they secured a comfortable 2-0 away success at Parma. In their recent league defeat against Juventus, Roma produced 16 shots in the match against the five by Juve. Roma bossed possession, taking 53% of it.

Roma have lost only two of their last eleven games in all competitions, home and away combined. Both of those were at home, strangely enough. On their travels they are undefeated in six with a superb W5 D1 record from that run of games. They have conceded in three of the last five away games. In four of their last six on the road, Roma have scored at least three goals. So they do make value to get on the board in Turin.
Juventus vs Roma Betting Advice
Juventus at home still have to be the pick. They have been grinding a bit this season, not having been their usual dominant selves. But most of their squeaks have come away from home. They are mightily strong and in control of things in Turin and have had a good start to 2020.
Key Facts – Juventus vs Roma Betting Tip
- Juventus have only failed to win one home game this season (D1)
