Serie A leaders Juventus likely to pick up another win over AS Roma
Already with a healthy lead at the top of Italy’s Serie A, defending champion Juventus hosts an out-of-sorts AS Roma in Turin on Saturday evening. Right now, it is looking as if no one can stop the Juventus procession toward yet another domestic crown, while Roma must strive for greater consistency if it is to start climbing the table and qualify for next season’s edition of the UEFA Champions League.
- Juventus has won its last seven league matches in a row.
- Roma is unbeaten in its last three league outings, although two of those games ended in a draw.
- Juventus has won 14 of the past 26 meetings between these two teams.
Juventus vs AS Roma Game Center
Juventus just keeps on winning
The Old Lady have dropped just two points in Serie A so far this season and as such are yet to taste defeat against any domestic competitor. They have won 15 of 16 games, scoring at a rate of over two goals per game while conceding just eight, at a rate of 0.5 goals per game – their numbers, in short, almost defy belief.
Roma, in stark contrast, has been consistently inconsistent from the very first week of the campaign. The club finds itself down in seventh place, although they are only three points behind AC Milan in fourth, and a shock win this weekend could see them start climbing the league, depending on how other results go.
But it will be no shock to see that it is table toppers Juventus who come in as the favorite to pick up another win. You can back the champions to take all three points at just -250, with Roma all the way out at +700 to do the same. A draw is priced in the middle at +350.
Juventus should cruise to victory
While Roma may well put up some initial resistance, they are unlikely to be able to withhold the onslaught for the entirety of the 90 minutes. It is not always easy when trying to predict the exact scoreline of a football match, but a comfortable 3-1 win for the home side is priced competitively at +1100 and, given the way Juventus has been playing over recent weeks, would seem like a wise bet to make.
That outcome would also allow you to back OVER 2.5 goals in the game, which is priced short at just -125, as well as both teams to score, which comes in at +105. However, if you are looking to further increase those potential winnings, then it may be an idea to take a look at combo betting, which allows you to select multiple outcomes at higher odds.
For example, a combo bet of a Juventus win, coupled with both teams to score, is at the higher price of +240, while a home victory and OVER 2.5 goals in the game is at +120. OVER 2.5 goals and both teams to score is at +150.
Could Juventus make a fast start?
Given the fact they have home advantage, and the way they have been playing recently, Juventus could well come racing out of the blocks to snatch an early lead. Therefore, you could back OVER 0.5 goals in the first 10 minutes at +333, with Juventus at +550 to be ahead by the end of that time period.
This match should, once again, be all about the champions. The Old Lady are at just -450 to win either half, but you can back them at +120 to score in both halves and +225 to actually go out and win both halves.
Keeping in mind their excellent defensive record so far this season, a clean sheet for the champions is not out of the equation. Therefore, it might be wise to back Juventus to win to nil (without Roma scoring a goal) at +120.
Juventus, as usual, is likely to go marching on as they look to wrap up another Serie A title. Roma’s attempts to climb the table will be dealt another body blow as consistency continues to evade them.
