AS Roma vs Juventus: Preview and Prediction AS Roma, who face Juventus this weekend, have been resilient under Daniele De Rossi, losing only four games since the legendary former midfielder took over. They did suffer their latest defeat at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen, who took a brilliant 2-0 lead in the Europa League semifinal first leg in Rome. ............ The fact that Italy have a fifth Champions League spot makes the pressure less on Juventus heading into the final few games of their season. From being title contenders at one stage of the season, the Bianconeri are now fighting tooth and nail to consolidate their third place, as Massimiliano Allegri will not want any more hiccups along the way. Juventus had a golden opportunity even to go close to second place in Milan, but they could only manage a draw with the Rossoneri on the previous matchday. Should Milan win at the weekend, they might race away with the runners-up spot. Hence, Juventus must avoid a defeat against Roma to keep a stronghold of a top-four place. But in that scenario, they might loosen their grip on the third spot with Bologna lurking closely behind. Overall, the three Champions League positions could still be interchanged before the season ends, with Roma, Juventus and Bologna all hunting for supremacy, with Atalanta and Lazio in the mix. Team News & Tactics AS Roma Daniele De Rossi will have a triple boost as he welcomes Zeki Celik from his European suspension. At the same time, Diego Llorente and Leandro Paredes will be available again after serving domestic bans. ............ Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Llorente, Angelino; Bove, Paredes, Pellegrini; Baldanzi, Lukaku, El Shaarawy Juventus Apart from Mattia De Sciglio, Kenan Yildiz and Alex Sandro, Massimiliano Allegri has no fitness concerns with his squad. So, he will only look to make a few changes. Allegri will line up with the usual back three: Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, and Danilo, who are taking shape, with Andrea Cambiaso and Filip Kostic stationed in those wing-back roles for Juventus. Similarly, Allegri will not look to make any alterations to his midfield, with Weston McKennie, Adrien Rabiot, and Manuel Locatelli firmly settled in their respective roles. Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa will continue to lead the attack for the Bianconeri, with the former still harbouring hopes of catching Lautaro Martinez. Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Chiesa Key Stats There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 12 of Roma’s last 15 games in Serie A. AS Roma are winless in three of their last four matches in all competitions. AS Roma can go within three points of Juventus with a win on Sunday. Juventus have drawn their last three matches in Serie A. Juventus have only two wins from their last 13 league games. Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic ............ There are still some games to go, although Vlahovic might have to be highly prolific in those to stand a chance to catch Lautaro Martinez. While there’s less chance for that to happen, he can still propel Juventus’s chances of finishing third or even second with some stellar displays in the remaining games, starting with the visit to Rome. Prediction AS Roma 1-1 Juventus AC Milan tried on the last matchday to ensure that Juventus did not get closer to them on the table, and the Bianconeri might repeat the pattern against AS Roma. Drawing this game will be a good result for the Turin giants, as they have to protect their place in the top four. They might open the gates for Bologna to take over, but this is a risk Massimiliano Allegri might be willing to take. AS Roma will come under pressure heading into this clash as they are eager to get ahead of Atalanta and Lazio, the chasing pack for fifth place in the Champions League. Hence, while they might try to take advantage at home, Juventus have the ingredients and defensive quality to ensure this game ends in a draw.

Journalist compares Juventus target to Ibrahimovic Joshua Zirkzee has drawn comparisons with Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he remains at the top of Juventus’ shopping list. The Bologna star is emerging as one of the best attackers in Serie A, and most of the country’s top clubs are interested in signing him. Juve is eager to add him to their squad as a replacement or partner for Dusan Vlahovic. ............ Zirkzee has now been compared to Ibrahimovic by journalist Fabio Ravezzani, who said: “Looking at Zirkee, the first Ibra came to mind for his ability to vary and his power. He also scored little as a youngster, but was dominant in attack.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/journalist-compares-juventus-target-to-ibrahimovic/

Ex- Serie A striker explains why Juventus is struggling for form The last three months have been difficult for Juventus in terms of form, as they dropped from the top of the Serie A table to being close to finishing outside the top four. ............ Despite this, Juventus still has the chance to finish this season inside the Champions League places and win the Coppa Italia. Former Serie A star Emanuele Calaiò has spoken about their struggles in the last few weeks and seems to know why life is hard for Juventus on the pitch. He said: “There could also be a physical decline. We are in May, with four matches remaining. In May, those who are still well score more points. Just think of Atalanta, who still get points because they are physically very well. Against Roma, however, the Juve could be favoured precisely because the Giallorossi spent a lot in the match against Bayer.” ............

Preview: Roma vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups After suffering a rare home defeat in midweek, Roma will try to retain their grip on a top-five place in Serie A when welcoming Juventus to Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Both sides are intent on claiming a place in next season's Champions League, but neither has secured their spot just yet. Match preview For the second season running, Roma are taking on Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League semi-finals, and the two clubs reconvened in the Italian capital for Thursday's first leg. The new German champions were seeking revenge for losing last year, and they not only continued their record-breaking unbeaten streak at Roma's expense but also took a giant stride towards meeting either Marseille or Atalanta BC in the final. ............ Following a 1-0 victory in December's reverse fixture, Juventus have won four of their last six Serie A matches against Roma - keeping a clean sheet in half - so they will have a psychological advantage heading into the clubs' latest encounter. The Bianconeri are now only six points above their hosts in the table, though, as a once-promising campaign has slid into stagnant mediocrity over the past few months. Having drawn each of their last three matches - versus Torino, Cagliari and, most recently, AC Milan - Max Allegri's men are now glancing nervously over their shoulders at the teams below them. Juventus have averaged just 1.27 points in the second half of this season - their worst such rate since 2010 - and Allegri's future has naturally been called into question. ............ Despite a dismal run of two wins from 13 in the league, the Bianconeri also remain on track to secure a spot in next term's new-look Champions League, and Allegri will claim that represents success for a club undergoing a painful period of transition. ............ Team News In addition to having Zeki Celik back from a UEFA suspension, Diego Llorente and Leandro Paredes are both available to Daniele De Rossi after serving bans in Roma's draw with Napoli last weekend. ............ One candidate for a rest is injury-prone forward Paulo Dybala, who played seven seasons for Juve from 2015 to 2022, making 293 appearances and scoring 115 goals across all competitions; he has been directly involved in 40 goals from only 50 league games since leaving Turin. Dybala and Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic have played a part in the most Serie A strikes this calendar year, with both players being involved in 12 goals since the start of 2024; Vlahovic should partner Federico Chiesa or Kenan Yildiz up front on Sunday. The Bianconeri's only injury absentee will be Alex Sandro, who is sidelined by a calf problem, so Max Allegri is set to name a similar XI to that which held Milan goalless last time out. Chiesa could replace Yildiz, and Weston McKennie may come in for his fellow American Timothy Weah, but no further changes are expected. Roma possible starting lineup: Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Lukaku, El Shaarawy Juventus possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic We say: Roma 1-1 Juventus While Juventus have lost all momentum are stuttering towards the end of another troubled season, distracted Roma may have one eye on turning their Europa League semi-final tie around. The hosts also have a woeful record against Italy's other top clubs, so Juve can record a fourth straight Serie A draw.

Preview: Roma vs Juventus – Team News, Lineups & Prediction Sunday’s Serie A program closes out at the Stadio Olimpico with a blockbuster clash between top-four hopefuls Roma and third-placed Juventus. While the visitors have one foot in next season’s Champions League, the hosts still have work to do to secure a coveted top-five finish. Roma became the latest side to fall victim to Bayer Leverkusen’s dominant run as Daniele De Rossi lost the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie 2-0 at home on Thursday. With their hopes of reaching back-to-back finals narrowed to a minimum, Giallorossi’s best chance of booking a seat at Europe’s top table next term is through Serie A. ............ Despite being in a more comfortable position than Roma, Juventus will be desperate to scoop up points at the Olimpico following a scoreless draw against bitter rivals Milan last time out. That was their third consecutive stalemate in Serie A as the pressure continues to pile on under-fie head coach Massimiliano Allegri. ............ Match Preview Roma ............ But the omens are against them. No side has beaten Roma more often than Juventus – 85 times. As four of those defeats came in the last six league meetings between the teams (W1, D1), the home fans await this contest with anxiety. Comfort stems from the fact Roma’s only success in that run saw them emerge 1-0 victors from this corresponding fixture in 2022/23. Juventus Juventus take this trip knowing a win would seal the deal and have them qualified for next season’s Champions League. However, Allegri’s troops have only won two of their last 13 Serie A games (D4, L7). On top of that, they’ve traveled poorly of late, dropping points on six consecutive league travels (D3, L3) since beating Lecce in January. With five of those six winless away league outings seeing them concede the opening goal, Juventus fans would be forgiven for making this journey with trepidation. The visitors can find inspiration in Roma’s long-standing struggles against top Serie A clubs. Their hosts have lost all seven league matches against the sides currently above them in the standings. Team News Roma boss De Rossi can call upon his entire squad for this mouth-watering showdown after Romelu Lukaku and Chris Smalling recovered from injuries to feature against Leverkusen. Diego Llorente and Leandro Paredes are back from suspension after missing out on the Napoli game. As for Juventus, Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba are unavailable for selection for well-documented reasons. Allegri will also be without long-serving stalwart Alex Sandro, who’s out with a muscle problem. But all other first-team stars, including headline forward Dusan Vlahovic, are ready for this trip. Roma vs Juventus Potential Lineups Roma (4-3-3): Mile Svilar; Zeki Celik, Gianluca Mancini, Diego Llorente, Angelino; Bryan Cristante, Leandro Paredes, Lorenzo Pellegrini; Stephan El Shaarawy, Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku. Juventus (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Danilo, Gleison Bremer, Federico Gatti; Filip Kostic, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Weston McKennie, Timothy Weah; Federico Chiesa, Dusan Vlahovic. Roma vs Juventus Prediction Given the stakes, it won’t be surprising if Allegri decides to play another chess match. Juventus and Milan bored fans to death last weekend, but such has been the theme of Bianconeri’s season. We’d back Roma to take advantage of their visitors’ scoring woes to grab an all-important win a month ago. However, they’ve recently shown signs of fatigue, leading us to believe a scoreless draw could be in store.

Allegri: ‘Juventus will find angry Roma, difficult and complicated match’ Massimiliano Allegri thanked Daniele De Rossi for his support and underlined his expectations for the tense Serie A clash between his Juventus and Roma. The 56-year-old Italian coach has been under increasing pressure throughout his second spell in Turin and things have continued to exacerbate this season, especially after his side fell away from league leaders Inter in the title race. ............ “We got close well, then we’ll see tomorrow if we can get back to winning ways. Roma have great technical qualities. It will be a fascinating match, but difficult and complicated.” ............ He responded to De Rossi’s sympathetic comments. “I thank Daniele. I played with his father at Livorno. Daniele gave enthusiasm and light-heartedness, even though Mourinho had done an excellent job. We will find a Roma angry at Thursday’s defeat, wanting to return to fighting for the top four places in the league.” Allegri was asked how Juventino he felt. “I have lived in Turin for 10 years now and I have been lucky enough to be part of this great family and great club. The DNA of every club must always be respected.” ............ “Football is difficult to explain. Football must be played, there are times when it goes well and when it doesn’t. We have had a couple of months where we had no forwards. “We don’t have to think about what happened. Tomorrow, we have a good game to play against a strong team. We need to prepare to play a good match.” ............ He touched on if Bologna’s draw with Torino had an effect on him. “As far as the result is concerned, we are ahead, and we have to score points. Our 65 points are not enough for the Champions League. Bologna had a great season, and no one expected this.” ............

De Rossi: ‘Sympathy for Allegri, Roma need exceptional performance against Juventus’ Daniele De Rossi admitted he has ‘sympathy’ for Massimiliano Allegri ahead of Roma’s tense Serie A clash with a wounded Juventus, noting the need for an ‘exceptional performance’. The Giallorossi had the wind in their sails following the former midfielder’s arrival back in January, but their mood has dipped a little over the last week following a tough 2-2 draw with Napoli and a difficult 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final. ............ He shared his sympathy for Allegri amidst the criticism. “He faces us with respect, he has made the history of Italian football and continues to lead the team at high levels. I feel sympathy for him because he played with my father. Results-based or system-based is a concept that doesn’t exist. ............ “We need another exceptional performance and the fans who must continue to do so push as they always have.” De Rossi spoke about Paulo Dybala’s condition and mindset. “I’ll meet the guys in a few hours, but I don’t really know how they are. Tomorrow morning we’ll take another half hour to finish up and do the last two or three things. Regardless of him being a former player, Paulo is fine. ............ De Rossi remembered some of his matches against Juventus. “I’ve played many. Once we played at Delle Alpi, we lost 2-0 or 2-1 and drew at the last minute, I think with Zebina. I was young and getting a result in such important stadiums seemed like a dream to me. Under the snow, we won in the Coppa Italia and then went through. “I have good memories. The bad one was the match that led to Spalletti’s resignation. It was such a tough week to challenge Juventus at the Olimpico to have our fans.” ............

Motta breaks his silence on his future as Juventus circle the manager Thiago Motta has broken his silence on the rumours surrounding his future as clubs follow the Bologna manager. Juventus is one of the teams reportedly looking to make him their next manager as the Bianconeri work hard to ensure they replace Max Allegri. ............ When Allegri’s term ends, they could ask him to leave the club and bring Motta in as his replacement, but several other clubs also want the Bologna manager. He has to choose the best next step for himself, and when asked about his future on the bench, he said: “My future or that of the players is not important: at the right time we will gather around a table and see if there are the conditions to continue or not to continue.” ............

Cassano accuses Allegri of nepotism: “He had friends writing Di Maria was dead man walking” Antonio Cassano claims Juventus coach Max Allegri relies on his journalist friends to influence the public. ............ In the past, several of Allegri’s detractors have accused him of receiving favors from a section of the press thanks to personal relationships. Cassano echoes this sentiment, accusing the Juventus boss of using nepotism to solidify his position at the club while throwing some of his players under the bus. ............ “There are coaches who have great friends in the press. Allegri has those four or five runaways who look after him, telling them what they have to write,” claimed the former Real Madrid and Roma star. “This gentleman made Paredes pass like a waiter last year, and even let Barrenechea play instead of him. “He made some of his friends write that Di Maria was a dead man walking, when six months earlier he had won a World Cup. ............ “Now Allegri wants to take the credit and so he’s asking his friends to help him stay at the club.” ............

Nine Juventus player whose future could depend on Max Allegri At the end of the season, Max Allegri could finally leave his post in Turin, that is if the Juventus management decides to ring the changes. ............ Here is a list of ten players whose future could be intertwined with the fate of the under-fire coach. We begin with the most obvious name in the form of Adrien Rabiot. The midfielder has yet to renew his contract with the club which will expire at the end of the season. Since he is a pupil of Allegri, he might well end up following him to the exit door. The same could be said about Mattia De Sciglio. On the contrary, Timothy Weah and Carlos Alcaraz would be more likely to stay in case a new coach arrives, as they haven’t found much space with Allegri at the helm. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia and Moise Kean are in the same boat, as they find themselves at the bottom of the manager’s pecking order. While the club surely won’t sell Kenan Yildiz, perhaps the management could consider a loan move in case Allegri were to remain, so he can earn more playing time elsewhere. ............ Weston McKennie would be more likely to pen a new contract if the manager were to stay. Finally, Federico Chiesa would probably seek new accommodation if the manager remains in Turin as he hasn’t been enjoying his football under the latter’s guidance.

Le voci su Thiago Motta partente e l'infortunio di Ferguson stanno rallentando il Bologna. Da diverse partite ormai la rivelazione della serie A va al ritmo lento della Juve.

Two decisive clashes await Allegri in Roma Juventus coach Max Allegri will travel to Roma twice in May, and the outcome of the two trips could be decisive for his future. The 56-year-old still has another year on his contract with the club, but his future at the Allianz Stadium remains uncertain, to say the least. Some observers believe the writing is already on the wall, claiming the Bianconeri have already set their mind on replacing the Livorno native at the end of the season, with Thiago Motta emerging as the favorite to succeed him. ............ The Turin-based giants will descend on the Italian capital this weekend to take on Roma in a Serie A showdown. The Bianconeri can mathematically book their place in the next edition of the Champions League with a win over Daniele De Rossi’s men. Moreover, Juventus will return to the Stadio Olimpico on the 15th of May for the Coppa Italian final against Atalanta. The outcome of these two Roman ventures will determine Allegri’s fate. ............ Nevertheless, Allegri continues to defend his work, arguing that the results remain in line with the club’s announced objectives, that is finishing in the Champions League zone.

Not only Allegri – Several Juventus players facing uncertain future The atmosphere at the Juventus dressing room remains uneasy with Max Allegri and a host of players yet to figure out what the future holds for them. This could be a summer of turmoil for the Bianconeri, with the club’s Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli ringing the changes. Many expect him to begin from the dugout, by giving Allegri and the technical staff their marching orders despite having one year left on their contracts. ............ With their deals expiring at the end of the season, Adrien Rabiot and Daniele Rugani may be the two most urgent matters on the renewal front. ............ Moreover, Juventus have a host of players who are running on contracts expiring in 2025. The list includes the three first-team goalkeepers, club captain Danilo, Moise Kean, Weston McKennie Samuel Iling-Junior and Federico Chiesa. Therefore, Juventus should act decisively in this regard, either by renewing their deals or putting them on the market, as they wouldn’t want to lose their services for free a year later.

Juventus would turn to Jorginho if Rabiot leaves Juventus would reportedly try to lure in Arsenal midfielder Jorginho if they fail to keep Adrien Rabiot in Turin. ............ Journalist Massimo Pavan, Juventus are contemplating a move for Jorginho to plug the hole left by Rabiot in case the latter departs. The Italo-Brazilian has been at Arsenal since making the cross-city move from Chelsea in January 2023. This season, he has contributed with a goal and two assists and 35 appearances across all competitions. The 32-year-old’s contract will expire at the end of the season, but the Gunners have the option to extend it for another year. But Juventus will be hoping that the Euro 2020 winner frees himself and becomes available for free. ............ Pavan believes this maneuver could work thanks to Manuel Locatelli, who would relinquish the Regista role in favor of his international teammate, and occupy the more advanced spot that the French star would vacate. ............
