AS Roma vs Juventus Prediction & Betting Tips (5 May)

Eager to finally return to the Champions League next year, Roma will have to redouble their efforts during the final 4 days to achieve their objective. The Louve club does not have its destiny in its hands since it currently occupies 5th place in Serie A with 1 game more and 2 points ahead of 6th, Atalanta. After having lined up 7 games without a loss, 5 wins and 2 draws, the Giallorossi had a very bad operation by losing at home against Bologna 1-3. Subsequently, they won at Udinese 1-2 before taking a point at Napoli last weekend 2-2. This week, Roma seriously jeopardized their chances of reaching the Europa League final by losing their semi-final first leg at home against Leverkusen 0-2. In the fight with Inter for the Scudetto until in December, Juventus, on the other hand, had a very insufficient second half of the championship.

The Old Lady is now 3rd in Serie A and must still work to qualify for the Champions League, 6 points ahead of her opponent of the day. The dynamic does not encourage optimism since the Bianconeri have only won 2 of their last 13 league matches, for 7 draws and 4 defeats. They remain on 3 shares of the points suffered against Torino 0-0, Cagliari 2-2 and AC Milan last weekend 0-0. In the Italian Cup, Juventus has just eliminated Lazio and will face Atalanta in the final.

Absent last weekend, the starting striker Lukaku (11 goals and 3 assists in SA) and the now replacement defender Smalling are back on their feet. Roma can thus count on a complete squad since the important Llorente and Paredes are back from suspension. Recently returned to the field after a long injury, Tammy Abraham scored the equalizing goal against Naples. The point of the attack could still be occupied by Lukaku with, at his side, the essential Dybala (13 goals and 8 assists in SA). For Juventus, we must mention the suspensions of midfielders Pogba and Fagioli. In addition, the full-back De Sciglio is uncertain.

Italian international Chiesa (7 goals and 2 assists in SA) started on the bench last weekend. He could return to the starting 11 alongside prolific striker Vlahovic (16 goals and 4 assists in SA). The Old Lady today only has the 8th attack in the championship. This highlights Max Allegri's difficulties in developing quality of play for the Bianconeri.
