Juventus vs Roma tips and predictions: Old Lady to round off 2023 with a win

Juventus have only lost once this season and are four points behind Inter, while Roma climbed to 6th after beating Napoli. 12 points separate the two rivals.

Max Allegri's team has 12 wins, four draws, and only one loss thus far, but even so, they’re having to work hard to keep pace with the Serie A leaders heading into Saturday’s game.

After the draw against Genoa, Juve secured an important win before Christmas, with goals from 18-year-old Kenan Yildiz and Dusan Vlahovic.

Before the game against Juventus, the Giallorossi are in decent form, having won three of five. Mourinho’s team is 6th in the league table, with 28 points.

The most crucial victory was the one in the previous round, at Stadio Olimpico, when Roma pulled off an impressive win against the defending champions Napoli, thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku and Lorenzo Pellegrini.

For the Belgian, the goal against Napoli was the 5th goal in the last seven games.

From mid-November, Lukaku has scored four goals for his national team, two in the Europa League, and two in Serie A.

Last season, the Giallorossi managed to win at home 1-0, after a goal scored by Gianluca Mancini. The match in Turin resulted in a 1-1 draw.
