Roma’s Seydou Keita thinks Juventus are still Scudetto favourites, but believes the Giallorossi can compete for the title.

Rudi Garcia’s side had looked set to mount a genuine title challenge last season before falling away after January and finishing the season 17 points off the Bianconeri.

“Juventus are favourites for the Scudetto, mostly because they’re coming from four consecutive wins,” Keita told Sky Sport Italia.

Rudi Garcia’s side had looked set to mount a genuine title challenge last season before falling away after January and finishing the season 17 points off the Bianconeri.

“Juventus are favourites for the Scudetto, mostly because they’re coming from four consecutive wins,” Keita told Sky Sport Italia.

“It’s also true that Roma, Napoli, Inter and Milan can fight with them. We'll have to perform like we did last year, but have consistency after January as well.

"Last season we had several problems after the winter break, such as the Africa Cup of Nations. These aren’t excuses, but they created difficulties.

“The first match in Verona? Like last year, we will always play to win.

“I hope this is our year, by winning the Scudetto or another trophy.

“We will have to work hard, give everything on the pitch and be at our best in order to win it."
