PRE MATCH: JUVENTUS VS ROMA

In yet another must-win game for Juventus, fresh off five wins in a row, AS Roma comes to visit at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday evening.

AS Roma are currently at third on the Serie A table with 40 points. Juventus are fourth with 39 but they have a game in hand and as such, a win will act as the first step towards steering clear of AS Roma.

A win, therefore, should guarantee a third place for the defending champions, who still have a decent chance of making a comeback during the second half of the campaign.

However, the Old Lady are still seven points behind AC Milan who top the table. Although they have a game in hand, Juventus cannot afford to slip up at this point as the Milan teams are both in good shape and could pull away and go out of sight.

AS Roma have had quite a few issues, both internal and external, to deal with over the past several weeks. They were able to pip Juventus to the signature of Bryan Reynolds from FC Dallas. They will, however, need to dig really deep to eke out a positive result against an in-form Juventus side.
