Juventus have picked form after a difficult start to the season and they will be eying three more points in their home game against AS Roma. Juventus go into this game with 11 points in seventh place, four points and three places behind Roma. The hosts are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions. In Serie A, Juventus have three straight wins, coming from a derby win over Torino just before the international break. Manuel Locatelli scored the all important goal in that 1-0 win, continuing his fine start to life in Turin. Juventus don’t seem to have issues in attack; they have scored in each of their last five league matches, but they have only one clean sheet in 21 league matches. They could be without Paulo Dybala for this game, as he is away with the Argentina national team, but they have an array of options in attack. Federico Chiesa has taken the mantle of leadership in attack well, and Juve’s revival is to a large part thanks to his industry. Juventus go to this game with three wins in their last five matches against Roma.

Roma under Jose Mourinho has for most of the games this season been impressive, and going to this, they have three wins and two losses in the last five matches. They have a good scoring run, netting two or more goals in four of their last five matches and haven’t failed to score in the five games. Lorenzo Pelegrini and Tammy Abraham have been crucial for the team in attack, with two goals each in the last five matches but there’s still work to be done in defence. They face a side that has a good scoring run. Having conceded two or more goals in two of their last five matches, and both sides having scored in three of their last five in the league calls for better defending. It is even worse for Roma away from home; they have one win and seven losses in the last 10 league games on the road. They have conceded 11 goals in five away league matches and head to this game having lost each of their last two away league games.
