Juventus take on the visitors AS Roma at “Juventus Stadium” in the central game of the matchday 18 of the Italian Serie A. The clash will be played in Turin on Saturday, December 23rd.
Juventus come up to the home fight with seven-game unbeaten series covering five triumphs and two draws. “La Vecchia Signora” has already recorded seven clean sheets which make up 651 minutes of football without conceded goals. The team has promoted to the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia early this week, having beaten Genoa with 2:0 scoreline. With 17 rounds behind in Italian elite division, the club sits on the second place in the standings with 41 points taken and 44-14 goal difference. Juventus have gained 22 points with 21 goals for and four goals against in nine encounters conducted at their own turf.

This mid-week AS Roma have broken their five-match undefeated streak, having lost 1:2 to Torino in face of their supporters in the Coppa Italia. “I Lupi” must put all their efforts to upset another team from Turin on this weekend. In total, AS Roma participated in 16 battles within the Serie A, having gained 38 points with 28 goals for and 10 goals against which brought the club to the current fourth position in the table. The Romans haven’t failed any of seven clashes played on the road in this season, having earned five victories and two draws instead with 13-3 goal difference.
Since the 12th of December 2011 the visiting side of each head-to-head has won only once. It should be noted that the rivals met 14 times during that period. However, one should pay much attention to the teams’ statistics in this season which illustrates that the opponents concede very rarely. Therefore, I wouldn’t expect for a number of goals scored in the forthcoming game in Turin.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
