Juventus take on the visitors AS Roma in the round 3 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, August 27th at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus have been failing for 2 years in a row. The first failure, falling from 1st to 4th, was attributed to the inexperience of the young coach, Pirlo. But he was replaced a year ago by Allegri, who returned to the post he left 2 years earlier. It just didn't get better for him. The “Old Lady” again closed the quartet of Calcio leaders, albeit without the hassle that was in 2021. But at the same time, the Bianconeri lost to Inter both in the Super Cup and in the national cup. Also in the Champions League, there was a new shame in the form of relegation from Villarreal. So far, Massimiliano has been kept in his post. But the composition changed quite actively in the summer. Significant departures (Morata, Dybala, Chiellini, De Ligt) and signings (the return of Pogba, the signing of Di Maria, the purchase of Bremer, Kostic and Cambiasso) were enough. The city started from Turin with a confident 3-0 victory over Sassuolo. But already with "Sampdoria" on the road they slowed down, limiting themselves to a goalless draw.

Roma were left without the Champions League. That is, it must be admitted that Jose Mourinho did not fulfill his task No. 1 after returning to Italy. Under him, progress with "Special" last season was minimal. It turned out to score only 1 point and climb only 1 place. The Portuguese can only justify himself by taking the trophy after all. The Italians became the first winners in the Conference League. Let's see what happens in the new season. In front of him, the Jalorossi strengthened themselves without spending much money, luring Wijnaldum, Matic and Dybala to them - just from Juventus. But will this be enough given how competitors have become stronger? Started capital "wolves" with 1-0 victory on the field of "Salernitana". Then the only goal was scored in the 33rd minute by Cristante. And last Monday, Cremonese was hosted at home. And again the match finished with a minimal victory 1-0.
Despite the problems in both last matches, Juventus played well against Roma. In the season before last, the Old Signora scored 4 points out of 6 possible. And in the 2021/2022 draw, they won both fights. Bookmakers still give the advantage to Juventus, which plays in their native Turin. But the duel between Allegri and Mourinho does not promise a spectacle - we bet on "a total of less than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
