Juventus F.C. welcome the visitors AS Roma in the Italian Serie A – Round 17. The match will be held on Saturday, December 22nd, at the Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus claims another championship this season, same as always, actually, and they have great chances to get the long-awaited Champions League Cup this campaign as well – they’ve been currently better than ever before. Strong lethal attack (shipping yet 33 goals), secure defensive play (missed only 8 goals), tight countering the pressure – this is what the ‘Old Lady’ are all about. Allegri’s men are seen clear favorite in the coming match. There will be no Champions League fixtures by February, so Juventus will put all their remaining efforts to the national competition, to make sure the rivals don’t hope for anything (in case they do – Juve’s breakaway from the 2nd place is 8 points). Moreover, the hosts are not keen to concede ahead of the winter break.

AS Roma cannot boast their consistent play in this league. They can both draw against the top-three Inter and then level against the lower table Cagliari (both matches saw the 2:2 scoreline). In their last round against Genoa, the Romans managed to get a difficult win, thus finally breaking their winless streak of 5 games. The team pleased their fans (and themselves as well) a lot by their progression to the Champions League knockouts. This is not enough, however, to withstand Juventus at their stadium tomorrow.
The Saturday match favorite are quite clear. The guests can hardly surprise their opponent anyhow (we really doubt they can score in this match at all). The hosts will just play their game and will try to ‘close for the holidays’ with the maximum breakaway possible (to feel relaxed while preparing to the clashes with Atletico Madrid).
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win home.
