Our prediction for this Serie A match:
There will be fireworks when Juventus and Roma go head to head at Allianz Stadium in the Serie A derby. The Bianconeri aim to melt Inter’s advantage to only one point and they must be high on confidence following a 2-1 win over Frosinone. Alex Sandro has joined Moise Kean and Mattia De Sciglio in the recovery room, while Manuel Locatelli is a major doubt. Both Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba remain on the sidelines through suspension.
The Romans, on the other hand, did well to beat Napoli in the Derby del Sole. Jose Mourinho’s troops aim to climb to the Champions League berth, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Lorenzo Pellegrini is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Paulo Dybala, Chris Smalling, and Tammy Abraham continue to miss out with injuries.

Juve were stripped two domestic trophies during the “Calciopoli” scandal, but despite being relegated to Serie B, the club quickly brought glory days back to Turin. The Bianconeri used to play their home games at Stadio delle Alpi, but nowadays they welcome their rivals at Juventus Stadium.
