Roma vs Juventus Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Roma will be hoping to a major boost in their pursuit for Champions League qualification when they welcome Juventus to the Stadio Olimpico in Sunday's big Serie A clash.

The Giallorossi are up against it to finish in the top four, sitting three points adrift of fourth place with just three matches left to play.

Latest odds

Having won just four of their last 10 league matches, they are priced at 7/5 (2.40) with bet365 to pull off a morale-boosting victory over the champions.

Massimiliano Allegri's men have only won one of their last seven away matches against this opposition, but can be backed at 7/4 (2.75) to inflict a damaging defeat here.

The last meeting between the pair at this ground finished in a 0-0 draw last season, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Team news

Alessandro Florenzi and Daniele De Rossi are available once again following injury, leaving Diego Perotti as the only absentee.

Mattia Perin, Mario Mandzukic, Sami Khedira, Douglas Costa are all ruled out, while Alex Sandro and Daniele Rugani are both doubtful and Federico Bernadeschi suspended.

Preview

Although there is usually no more difficult opponent in a must-win match, the Bianconeri have looked far from their usual selves in recent weeks.

With nothing left to play for after wrapping up yet another Scudetto title with several matches to spare, they have managed just one win in four league matches - as well as suffering a shock elimination from the Champions League to Ajax.

The most striking aspect of their struggles has been in defence, where they have now gone seven matches without keeping a clean sheet.

Nevertheless, Juventus will still back themselves to find the net themselves against Claudio Ranieri’s team, which has conceded in all but three out of 17 Serie A home games this campaign.

Tips and Predictions

All in all, even odds (2.00) seem like decent value on both teams finding the net in a match featuring over 2.5 goals for Roma’s 10th home game in 14.
