Juventus v Roma Match Preview | Team Comparison OPTA Stats & Facts
You need to go back to the 23rd of January 2010 to find the last Giallorossi victory away at Juventus in Serie A. That day, goals from Francesco Totti and John Arnse Riise helped Roma to recover from Alessandro Del Piero’s opener, sealing three points for the Capitolines.
One year later, Roma snatched a 2-0 away victory against the Bianconeri in Coppa Italia with goals came courtesy of MirkoVucinic and Rodrigo Taddei.
History has changed a lot since when the Old Lady swapped the Stadio Olimpico for the Juventus Stadium back in 2011. Roma have failed to win one single game at Juve’s new Stadium, scoring just three goals in five games, while Juve have netted 17.
Juventus will try to stretch their winning streak to 11 games on Sunday evening, while Luciano Spalletti is eager to find his first victory as Roma boss.
The Capitolines won their last game more than a month ago (20th December 2015 Roma v Genoa 2-0), drawing against Torino (1-1), Napoli (0-0), Chievo (3-3), Milan (1-1) and Verona (1-1).
Paulo Dybala is Juventus’ leading scorer in Serie A with 11 goals, followed by Mario Mandzukic (6) and Paul Pogba (4).
Edin Dzeko’s poor form is undoubtedly influencing Roma’s attacking performances too. Miralem Pjanic is the team’s top scorer with seven goals, Gervinho and Momo Salah have six and five respectively.
Juve will play against Chievo (away) and Genoa (at home) after tomorrow’s clash. Roma will host Frosinone next week and play at the Mapei Stadium against Sassuolo at the beginning of February
