Juventus vs Roma preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

Juventus will take on AS Roma at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday in the Serie A, as the game could have a big say in the race for the top four.

Since their main title rivals are occupied with the Supercoppa Italiana this weekend, the two teams have a significant chance to make a statement.

Match preview

Juventus climbed to fifth in Serie A after their 1-0 victory over Bologna on Sunday, leapfrogging their opponents. This win is part of a strong run for Juve, who have secured five wins in their last six competitive matches and suffered only one defeat in 11 games since Igor Tudor's departure. 

Despite this upturn in form, they still trail the top four by four points, highlighting the ground they need to make up. Their excellent home record, where they are unbeaten this season across all competitions and have won their last three games, suggests they are well-placed to close the gap on fourth-placed Roma.

Roma, meanwhile, remain in the title race, sitting just three points behind leaders Inter following their 1-0 win against Como on Monday. A recurring theme this season has been narrow results, with ten of Roma’s 15 league matches ending 1-0, including their most recent away league fixture at Cagliari. 

Despite this pattern of close games, the Cagliari defeat was only their second Serie A loss on the road this season, demonstrating their strong away form which includes 12 wins from 17 top-flight trips in 2025.

Juventus vs Roma head-to-head

Historical records show that their encounter has been difficult to predict and their recent meetings have been much more balanced. 

In the last five Serie A encounters, both teams have secured one victory each, while three matches have ended in draws. 

The most recent meeting in April 2025 ended in a 1-1 stalemate and they have played a draw in their last three meetings.

Juventus vs Roma team news

Juventus face a selection crisis with multiple key players unavailable. Defensively, they are weakened by the injuries to Carlo Pinsoglio and Federico Gatti.

The midfield is also impacted, as Teun Koopmeiners is suspended, which is a major setback. Up front, the team is severely short of options, with both Arkadiusz Milik and Dušan Vlahović out injured.

Roma is dealing with some big player issues right now. They are missing Neil El Aynaoui and Evan N’Dicka because they are away on international duty, which is a real blow to the midfield and defence. On top of that, Edoardo Bove is out injured, narrowing their options in central midfield even further. 

Plus, the injury to striker Artem Dovbyk means they have lost a major threat up front. With so many regulars missing.

Juventus vs Roma prediction and betting tips

With Juventus proving very difficult to beat at home and Roma boasting a league-best defence, this clash is likely to be a low-scoring game. 

Both teams are missing their primary goal-scoring threats, which suggests that a single moment of brilliance could decide the outcome. 

Juventus should have enough to avoid defeat, but a stalemate is a highly probable result given recent history.
