Tipster’s Angle

Roma have won eight matches and lost two matches in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. In the last four matches that Roma has played away from home, they have won two matches and lost two matches. Juventus have a better head-to-head record, so they are likely to win the match at 1.916 odds available at the Melbet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.65

Over 2.5 goals were scored in six of Juventus’ last 10 matches in all competitions. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in eight of Roma’s last 10 matches in all competitions.

With the likes of Jordan Veretout, Paulo Dybala, and Lorenzo Pellegrini taking the field, a lot of goals could be expected. And the odds for over 2.5 is 1.66 available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

After a trophyless last season, Juventus have started poorly but have bounced back really well and climbing up the ladder pretty quickly. They could also pose a threat to the current leaders of Napoli. Roma on the other hand had their confidence dent with two losses in their last four. But a win for either team could boost their position much more.
