AS Roma will host Juventus at the iconic Stadio Olimpico on Sunday in Serie A, as both sides look to solidify their positions in the hunt for European football.
The home team extended their Serie A unbeaten streak to three matches with a 3-0 win over Cremonese on Sunday, also widening the gap on Juventus.
Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini may still be concerned about his team’s record against other top-five sides, as they have collected just two points from those fixtures so far this season.
Juventus ended a five-game winless stretch, including three consecutive defeats, with a 3-2 win over Galatasaray on Wednesday. However, two late goals conceded in extra time denied them a remarkable comeback in the UEFA Champions League.
Their domestic woes continued with a 2-0 loss to Como last Saturday, costing them a top-four spot and leaving them just one point above Atalanta in seventh.
Avoiding three straight league defeats would provide a timely boost and help the Old Lady regain momentum heading into the final stretch.

AS Roma vs Juventus prediction: A tight game that could lead to a draw
Key statistics
- Juventus and Roma have played full-time draws in three of their last five meetings.
- BTTS have been played by both teams in three of their last five encounters.
- Roma have been held to a draw at home by Juventus in their last two clashes.
Correct score prediction: AS Roma 1-1 Juventus
Juventus have struggled in their last five games, but we still expect them to be a big challenge for Roma in this tie. We expect a tightly contested battle where neither side will be willing to give much away in the early stages.
We predict a 1-1 draw between Roma and Juventus because both teams have shown a tendency to cancel each other out in recent meetings.
While the hosts are in better domestic form, the Bianconeri possess the quality to spoil the party for the home team. Given the pressure of the Champions League race, a share of the spoils appears to be the most logical outcome for both managers.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Juventus slight favourites in clash
- Home: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.5%
- Draw: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
- Away: 7/4 (2.75) – 36.4%

Roma have a difficult task as they face a wounded Juventus side. The bookmakers have given them 2.60 odds, giving them a 38.5% implied chance of securing victory on home soil. The draw stands at 3.10 odds, suggesting a 32.3% probability of the sides sharing the spoils.
While the Old Lady are slightly favourites at 2.75 odds, which translates to a 36.4% implied chance of claiming all three points in what is expected to be a tightly contested encounter.
Most recent head-to-head: More stalemates in previous meetings
The historical record between these two Italian powerhouses indicates a very balanced rivalry in recent years. Looking at their last five meetings in Serie A, the record shows one victory for Roma, one victory for Juventus, and three draws.
Their most recent clash in December 2025 saw the Turin giants edge out a narrow 2-1 win at the Allianz Stadium, but the three preceding matches all resulted in draws, including back-to-back 1-1 scorelines at the Stadio Olimpico.
The only victory for the Giallorossi in this sequence came in March 2023, where a solitary goal was enough to secure all three points at home. This pattern of results highlights how difficult it is for either side to dominate the other.

Player to watch: Donyell Malen
Donyell Malen has been a tremendous signing for Roma since joining the club on loan from Aston Villa during the January transfer window. The forward has been in scoring form in his last five games, with four goals to his name.
In just six games for Roma in the Serie A, he has scored five, which shows how impressive his output has been. He is currently playing with confidence and we expect him to exploit the defence of the Juventus team.
