The reliable betting company announces the central match of the Serie A third round, which will be held on September 1 at Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Juve’s successful reboot
After another disappointing season, Juventus management decided to replace the head coach and invited Thiago Motta, who secured a place in the Champions League main phase for Bologna last season. In Juve, the new coach didn’t need much time to show the first results – in the two starting rounds, Motta’s team beat Como and Verona with the same 3-0 score. In the summer off-season, la Vecchia Signora spent over €100 million on strengthening their squad. As a result, the new goalkeeper, Michele Di Gregorio, has already got two clean sheets and turned out to be a strong replacement for Wojciech Szczęsny. Juventus is now leading the Serie A standings with 6 points. This is the only team in the league who still hasn’t conceded a single goal.
Roma stumbles at the start
Daniele De Rossi became head coach of his native club in the course of the last season. This is the first campaign the Wolves’ legend starts from the first round. His team has gained only 1 point out of 6 possible so far, after a draw in Sardinia with Cagliari (0-0) and a sensational defeat to Empoli at Stadio Olimpico (1-2). I Giallorossi are at an unusually low 15th position in the standings now, and it still isn’t clear whether the team will be able to get out of the crisis in the near future.
H2H history
Last season, the head-to-head games ended in a 1-1 draw in Rome and the hosts’ 1-0 minimal win in Turin. In the last 4 Juventus vs Roma matches, the total of goals hasn’t exceeded 2. Will Thiago Motta make the legendary battle more spectacular?
