“It is curious, as in my career I have played against almost every big club in Europe and the world, but never against Juventus,” the Bosnian told Sky Sport Italia.
“They are a great team and you just need to look at the numbers. They’ve won the last four Scudetti in a row and that says it all.
“Now finally I can face them and I hope to do well. I respect Juve a great deal, but we must give our all to get a good result.”
Both giants struggled in the opening weekend, as Juventus lost at home to Udinese and Roma were held 1-1 at Verona.
“Clearly they lost the first game and therefore want to do better, while we are playing in front of our home fans and therefore want all three points.”
Dzeko partnered Mohamed Salah and Gervinho in the opening game, but can he co-exist with Totti?
“Of course I can, he is a legend and a fantastic player. Everyone can play with him, but it depends on Coach Rudi Garcia to decide.
“Lucas Digne is a player who certainly improves the squad and we hope he can get to know his teammates as soon as possible. There are big games coming up and Digne is one of those who can give us a big hand in future.”
