Neither of these clubs have conceded a single goal so far this season, so Juventus vs. Roma predictions may well be evenly balanced. It is the capital city club that has maximum points though – a record that Juve will be looking to end on Saturday.
Juventus vs. Roma odds
1 – Under 2.5 total goals scored – 4/5
2 – Juventus over 1.5 total goals – 6/5
3 – Draw after 90 minutes – 11/5
4 – Both teams to score – 3/4
5 – A 1-1 draw – 5/1
Massimiliano Allegri was left using his long list of injury casualties as an excuse at the weekend, as Juve ended match day two with a 0-0 stalemate. There was a distinct lack of attacking flair against Sampdoria that meant the Old Lady remained unbeaten – but not with maximum points.
Allegri does have a point, with Ángel Di Maria providing much of the opportunities in that opening day win against Sassuolo. He was missing – as was Federico Chiesa and Paul Pogba. It also didn’t help that Dušan Vlahović had possibly his worst game in a Juventus shirt.
Now Juve must pick themselves up for the clash against Roma on Saturday. The scudetto race looks wide open once again, so beating the other challengers could be key to leading Serie A later in the season.
Jose Mourinho seemed happy enough with his side’s 1-0 win over Cremonese on Sunday. The Giallorossi had to make do without new loan signing Gini Wijnaldum, who has broken his leg and now faces a long stint on the sidelines.
Chris Smalling eventually scored the winning goal after Cremonese keeper Ionut Radu pulled off a string of spectacular saves to deny the likes of Tammy Abraham and Paulo Dybala. Neither of the Roma attackers have opened their goal accounts this season as of yet.
Now, after two victories over teams that may well be fighting against relegation this season, Roma have their first real test of the campaign. Mourinho would probably be happy with taking a point from the trip to Turin – and that could well turn out to be the case.

Juventus team news
Allegri is still bemoaning his lack of injury-free starters and will probably stick with the same players and formation for the visit of Roma. He has stated that he would rather play 4-4-2 but does not see Vlahović and Kean as able to do that together.
Roma team news
Mourinho has been stung by the news that Zaniolo will miss at least a month after dislocating his shoulder in the win against Cremonese. El Shaarawy should be able to deputise as Roma’s strikers look to get off the mark at the Allianz Stadium.
