Roma vs. Juventus match preview There’s a big six-pointer going down at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend, and Juventus are very much in need of points under their new manager. For the second consecutive weekend coming out of the first international break of 2025, Juventus are set to face a team who have benefited greatly from a managerial change that took place in the month of November. Last Saturday, it was a Genoa side that brought in a former Juve midfielder, Patrick Vieira, and turned a potential relegation battle into a comfortable mid-table standing. Now, it’s a former Juve manager who has done wonders to turn around his club’s season that was in absolute shambles before he took control. ............ Claudio Ranieri has worked his magic at Roma, the club that he came out of retirement to try and save from potentially being the biggest name in quite some time to even be in a discussion about a relegation fight based on how the first three months of the 2024-25 season. Roma were four points above the relegation zone when the 73-year-old Ranieri took over for Ivan Juric, and since then have gone. ............ That is who Juventus are up against this Sunday night at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, as Igor Tudor faces quite a measuring stick to see just where he’s gotten this squad in his second week in charge after taking over for Thiago Motta. With eight games to go, this is one of Juventus’ biggest games remaining on the schedule — and that is even before you look at the form guide and see just how well Ranieri has been able to get Roma going after a brutal start to the season that resulted in not one but two different managers losing their jobs within the span of a couple of months. ............ Going to the Olimpico is never easy. That’s always the truth no matter what kind of form Roma is in or who their manager at the time is named. It’s a tough place to play basically every single time. There’s also this, though: With Bologna playing second-place Napoli on Monday night in arguably the biggest fixture of Matchday 31, Tudor’s Juve has the chance to both jump into fourth place as well as put the heat on the team that currently occupies the final Champions League spot 24 hours before they take the field at the Renato Dall’Ara. As tough as facing the red-hot Roma will be, it’s also a chance to take advantage of the absolutely brutal schedule that Bologna have to close out the season. After facing Napoli on Monday night, Bologna have the following teams on the schedule over the following four weeks: Atalanta, Inter, Udinese and finally Juventus in a massive May 4 showdown. But Sunday night will be the first test of Tudor’s short time as manager. That’s obvious. You have one team that has very much embraced and rode the wave of a new manager and worked their way up the standings because of it. You’ve got the other team who is now in their second game under a new manager and, in his own words, “rebuilding” things together coming out of a turbulent international break. ............ TEAM NEWS The big injury news coming out of last weekend’s win over Genoa was that Federico Gatti will miss a month due to a compound fracture in his heel. It probably hurts about as much as you think it does. But there is some good injury news to report heading into the trip to the Italian capital: Both Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz returned to training during the week and will be available to face Roma. They both, however, will only be options off the bench, according to Tudor at his pre-match press conference. Backup goalkeeper Mattia Perin will also miss Sunday’s game due to a muscle injury he picked up in training, although he has still reportedly traveled with the team to Rome. ............ JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH There were a handful of good things to come out of Tudor’s debut as Juve manager. but one of the most noticeable was the simple fact of players being used in positions in which they were meant. That was somewhat true when it comes to Nico Gonzalez. He was back on the right wing like he is meant to be ... but as a wingback? Yep, as a wingback — and it was pretty OK. ............ MATCH INFO When: Sunday, April 6, 2025. Where: Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy. Official kickoff time: 8:45 p.m. in Italy and the Central European time zone, 7:45 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, 11:45 a.m. Pacific time. .

How difficult are Juventus next five matches? Juventus are approaching a crucial stage of their season, with five challenging fixtures ahead that could determine whether they secure a top-four finish. Under the guidance of new manager Igor Tudor, every match has taken on increased significance, beginning with a tough away trip. AS Roma vs Juventus This upcoming fixture is set to be one of the most important matches of the season. Tudor will be keen to prove his capabilities, and this game offers the platform to do just that. ............ Juventus vs LecceJuventus were left frustrated in the reverse fixture, as Lecce secured a late goal to snatch a draw. That result saw Juventus drop valuable points, and they will be determined to put things right. ............ Parma vs JuventusThe previous meeting between these two teams ended 2-2, in a game where Juventus arguably should have done better. As the season nears its conclusion, there is now added pressure to avoid similar slip-ups. ............ Juventus vs MonzaMonza are not enjoying the best of seasons, and this fixture represents a home advantage that Juventus must make count. ............ Bologna vs JuventusThis match presents one of the toughest challenges remaining for Juventus. Bologna are also in the hunt for a top-four finish, making this a direct battle between rivals. It is considered the second most difficult match in the next set of fixtures, and the nature of Bologna’s challenge means there is a fair chance Juventus could struggle in this one. ............ .

AS Roma vs Juventus: Preview and Prediction The Serie A battle for a top-four place gets intense with every passing week, as AS Roma may have a big say in who finishes in those coveted UEFA Champions League positions, including in the game against Juventus. Claudio Ranieri has enjoyed a stellar period of late with the club, as the win over Lecce secured the Giallorossi’s seventh successive win on the bounce. ............ Meanwhile, Juventus began life under new manager and former Scudetto winner Igor Tudor in a successful manner. The Bianconeri saw off Genoa as a solitary Kenan Yildiz striker secured the points and a winning start to life after Thiago Motta. There is tremendous pressure on Tudor to deliver Champions League football next season, and currently, Juventus are only a point behind fourth-placed Bologna. They will run the risk of further opening the race for a top-four race should they lose or drop points against Roma, especially if other rivals like Lazio and even Bologna win. Team News & Tactics AS Roma ............ Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Ndicka; El Shaarawy, Kone, Paredes, Angelino; Pellegrini, Soule; Dovbyk Juventus Juventus have more long-term absentees such as Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal, and Arkadiusz Milik are on their injury list, while Federico Gatti will miss around a month of action. Tudor is not expected to make too many tweaks, as the only one ahead of the AS Roma game will probably see Francisco Conceicao come in for Teun Koopmeiners. Tudor will also bring in Piere Kalulu to replace Gatti in that back three, with Renato Veiga and Llyod Kelly set to retain their spots. Weston McKennie and Nico Gonzalez will play the wing-back roles, with Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao operating in advanced roles in the final third. Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram appear to be the starting midfielders under Tudor, with the duo set to continue their partnership. Up front, Dusan Vlahovic might be the preferred choice to lead the line under the new manager, and the out-of-form Randal Kolo Muani may have to bide his time before sneaking up an opportunity. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Gonzalez, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Yildiz, Conceicao; Vlahovic Key Stats AS Roma are unbeaten in their last 14 Serie A games. AS Roma have won their last seven Serie A games. AS Roma have kept a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches in Serie A. Juventus have lost only one of their last nine games against Roma. Juventus have won only one of their last five games against Roma. Player to Watch Artem Dovbyk ............ Prediction AS Roma 1-0 Juventus Juventus are still figuring out a new system and how the players operate in the way that Igor Tudor wants, which may work against them in this late run-in. However, they have the quality to face up to a big team like AS Roma, as they could put in a resilient performance on Sunday. Roma, on the other hand, are on the upward curve, following seven wins on the bounce as well as an unbeaten run in Serie A stretching to 14 games. Ranieri’s side have also been the better team in this fixture especially on home soil, as their momentum will likely secure an eighth straight win in the league. .

Serie A Preview: Roma vs Juventus – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction What seemed impossible before Claudio Ranieri’s appointment in November has become a distinct possibility for Roma. The 71-year-old has turned a downtrodden side into a formidable force, leading the Giallorossi to sixth in the Serie A table and within touching distance of fourth-placed Bologna. Four points separate Roma from a coveted Champions League qualification with eight matches left. ............ An identical scoreline saw Juventus get the better of Genoa on home soil last Sunday, courtesy of Kenan Yildiz’s goal midway through the first half. After a winning start to his interim tenure in Turin, caretaker boss Igor Tudor will aim to impress on his touchline debut outside the Allianz Stadium and solidify Juventus’ top-four pursuit. Nothing less will do as Juventus trail Bologna by a point after humiliating back-to-back losses to Atalanta and Fiorentina toward the end of Thiago Motta’s regime. However, beating Roma at the Olimpico could be a tall order even for the record-time Italian champions. Match Preview Roma Despite his age, Ranieri, who came out of retirement to rekindle Roma’s faltering campaign, continues to write history. ............ Juventus Like their hosts, Juventus have immensely struggled against the division’s best teams this term. Only three of the visitors’ 14 Serie A victories this season have come against sides starting this matchday in the top nine (D3, L7), with three of their last four matches against such opposition yielding a dismal return of three defeats (W1). However, Juventus have fared decently in hostile environments this term, avoiding defeat on 12 of their 14 Serie A road trips (W6, D6). Yet, both those losses came across their last four travels against fellow European qualification hopefuls. Furthermore, a 3-0 loss in Florence halted Juve’s outstanding run of breaking the deadlock in seven consecutive away league games. Poised to return to winning ways on the road, Juventus will turn to their decent-looking run of just one defeat from their last five Serie A visits to Roma’s home ground for inspiration (W2, D2). Worryingly, they’re without a clean sheet at this venue since a scoreless draw in May 2018, highlighting the magnitude of the task awaiting them on Sunday. Team News ............ Meanwhile, Federico Gatti has joined long-term absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Juan Cabal, and Gleison Bremer in the treatment room. Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz are not fully fit, meaning they’ll either stay on the sidelines or make the bench. Roma vs Juventus Potential Starting Line-ups Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Gourna-Douath, Kone, Cristante, Angelino; Matias Soule, Pellegrini; Dovbyk. Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Gonzalez, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic. Roma vs Juventus Prediction A draw wouldn’t benefit either side, but it’d still do more good than damage for Juventus. Roma must take all three points to stay in contention for a top-four finish, and the team’s renaissance under Ranieri suggests they can do just that. Prediction: Roma to Win .

Preview: Roma vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Resurgent Roma will host an ailing Juventus side in Serie A's Sunday night showdown, with the teams separated by just three points in the standings. Once title contenders, Juve now find themselves outside Italy's top four looking in, and their Roman rivals can catch them with an eighth straight league win. Match preview ............ Yet, following a goalless draw in September's reverse fixture, Juventus have lost only one of their last nine league meetings with Roma. The Bianconeri are also a relatively unknown quantity under new management, after Thiago Motta was recently removed following heavy back-to-back losses and Igor Tudor was handed the reins until the campaign's conclusion. Tudor - who won two Scudetti with the club as a player - has previously managed Hellas Verona and Lazio in Italy's top flight, after working as an assistant to Andrea Pirlo in Turin. He inherited a squad that had posted the club's fewest wins after 29 league games since 2011, but last week's 1-0 win over Genoa at least saw the former Croatia defender make a successful start. Only a fine Kenan Yildiz finish separated the sides at full time, but that was enough to keep Juve within one point of fourth-placed Bologna with eight games to go. After embarrassing exits from the Champions League and Coppa Italia - to PSV Eindhoven and Empoli respectively - the fallen giants simply must salvage something from another sub-par season by securing their return to Europe's top competition. If not, they face financial crisis. ............ Team News ............ Between the posts, Mile Svilar is the Giallorossi's undisputed number one, drawing interest from several Premier League clubs: this calendar year, he has the second-best save percentage throughout Europe's top five leagues (85%). Furthermore, Svilar and Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio (both 12, along with Inter Milan's Yann Sommer) have kept the joint-most clean sheets in Serie A this season. Federico Gatti has now joined Juve's absence list, so Igor Tudor has a selection headache to resolve in defence, where he prefers a three-man rearguard. Up front, Dusan Vlahovic - out of favour at the tail-end of Thiago Motta's tenure - should spearhead a 3-4-2-1 formation, linking up with Kenan Yildiz. Last week, the latter equalled Moise Kean with the most Serie A goals scored for Juventus while still a teenager (seven) throughout the 21st century. Roma possible starting lineup: Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Celik, Kone, Paredes, Angelino; Soule, Pellegrini; Dovbyk Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Gonzalez, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic We say: Roma 1-0 Juventus Juventus (17) and Roma (18) have conceded the fewest goals from open play in Serie A so far, and they played out a 0-0 draw in this season's reverse fixture. So, one moment of magic - or madness - could decide a contest between two well-matched teams. Given their new-found resilience, the Giallorossi can edge to an eighth league win on the spin, taking them level on points with their once-distant rivals. .

How Igor Tudor is slowly transforming Juventus behind the scenes Igor Tudor is fully aware that he has only a short window in which to turn Juventus’ fortunes around and guide the club into the top four of Serie A, thereby securing qualification for next season’s Champions League. ............ There is considerable hope among the supporters and within the club hierarchy that the Bianconeri can avoid the embarrassment of missing out on Champions League football next term. ............ Tudor is already making tangible changes to the team’s daily routine and tactical approach. The report notes that he has been highly vocal in demanding more from the players, aiming to instil a greater sense of urgency and commitment across the squad. As part of this effort, he has reportedly doubled the number of training sessions per day, indicating a desire to increase both fitness and focus in a limited timeframe. ............ In terms of tactical philosophy, Tudor has moved away from the possession-based approach favoured by his predecessor, as was evident in the 1-0 win over Genoa. Under Motta, the team placed significant emphasis on retaining the ball, but Tudor has now instructed his side to adopt a more direct style of play. This shift is intended to maximise attacking efficiency and reduce the amount of time spent in build-up phases. With only a handful of matches remaining, Tudor faces a considerable challenge. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/how-igor-tudor-is-slowly-transforming-juventus-behind-the-scenes/

Juventus tells on loan player of their intentions about his future Juventus made several loan signings across the last two transfer windows, aiming to strengthen their squad with fresh options and elevate their overall quality. The club sought to enhance their depth and competitiveness, particularly under the guidance of then-manager Thiago Motta. ............ Among the loanees brought in during this transitional period, Pierre Kalulu has emerged as the most impressive performer. The French defender joined on loan from AC Milan and has quickly established himself as a key figure in the Juventus backline. His standout displays have been particularly vital following the long-term injury to first-choice centre-back Gleison Bremer earlier in the season. ............ With Bremer sidelined and unlikely to return until the closing stages of the campaign, Kalulu has admirably filled the void, demonstrating composure, athleticism, and leadership in defence. His contributions have played a crucial role in maintaining defensive stability and keeping Juventus competitive throughout the season. Juventus have informed Kalulu that he is firmly in their long-term plans. The club have also communicated their intention to pay the required fee to secure his transfer on a permanent basis, reflecting their confidence in his continued value to the team. ............ .

Juventus ultras send blunt message to Andrea Agnelli amid rumours Turin’s streets became a stage for protest as Juventus’ hardcore fan groups made their stance clear: Andrea Agnelli is not welcome back. A banner unfurled outside FIAT’s headquarters delivered a scathing rebuke, accusing the former president of complicity in past controversies and urging him to steer clear of the club. The sign, reading “Abuse and convictions with your complicity. AA [Andrea Agnelli] stay away from this club,” targeted reports linking Agnelli to a potential return, which Exor, Juventus’ majority shareholder, later dismissed. The ultras’ message was amplified online, with the Drughi group posting “Andrea Agnelli, we don’t want you!” on Instagram, leaving no ambiguity about their resistance. ............ While some pundits argue Juventus needs Agnelli’s vision to revive its global standing, ultras blame his governance for fostering a culture of compromise. His resignation in 2022, amid accounting fraud allegations and a 10-point Serie A penalty, deepened the club’s crisis. Yet, whispers of a consortium-led buyout, possibly involving U.S. investors, keep speculation alive. ............ .

Tardelli says Tudor has already changed Juventus mentality Igor Tudor has been in charge of Juventus for just around two weeks, and this weekend, he will manage the team against AS Roma in what will be only his second game in charge. The Bianconeri manager is determined to secure a victory against Roma, and with the players at his disposal, he believes this is very much achievable. Juventus now boasts one of the most valuable squads in Europe, and their players are working hard to make the most of every opportunity they receive. ............ Tudor has brought new ideas to Juventus, and the players must adopt these swiftly if they are to secure a top-four finish. ............ Marco Tardelli, a Juventus legend, has spoken about the changes Tudor has made, particularly in terms of the team’s mentality. Tardelli has expressed his belief that Tudor is already having a positive impact on the squad: “With Tudor, we have already seen another mentality, one he knows perfectly well having played in the Bianconeri area. He has made important choices, focusing forward on Vlahovic and Yildiz, two players who are hungry for revenge. I see a determined team, a coach who knows how to communicate with us, who has managed to get into the players’ heads and together with them he will be able to bring Juventus back where it belongs.” ............ .

Mattia Perin aims a dig at Thiago Motta with a subtle post Mattia Perin has sparked conversation with a subtle social media post that many believe is directed at former Juventus manager Thiago Motta, following the latter’s recent in-depth interview reflecting on his time in charge. Motta, who was relieved of his duties by the club before the conclusion of the season, gave a candid account of his experience on the Juventus bench. ............ Despite his insistence, Juventus management evidently lacked the same conviction, opting instead to part ways with him. While his dismissal appeared performance-related, speculation has grown that deeper issues may have played a role—particularly alleged disagreements with members of the squad. It remains unconfirmed whether Mattia Perin was among the players who had a strained relationship with the former manager. ............ However, amid the circulation of Motta’s interview, Perin took to Instagram with a pointed message: “Everyone is the architect of their own fortune.” Although he did not reference Motta directly, the timing of the post and its tone have led many supporters and observers to interpret it as a subtle response to the ex-manager’s comments. ............ .

E ma Ranieri é di uno spessore umano diverso da quello di Motta.

Proprio Maifredi ha detto una cosa condivisibile: Motta ha voluto fare alla Juve copia e incolla con quello fatto a Bologna.

"Non sono un allenatore che si mette a urlare contro un giocatore o a fare gesti plateali durante la partita".

Can Igor Tudor navigate the final stretch successfully? ............ Tudor’s immediate challenge lies in balancing pragmatism with his preferred three-at-the-back system. The absence of three senior centre-backs has forced improvisation, such as deploying wing-back Cambiaso in central roles or relying on unproven recruits like Lloyd Kelly. While these adjustments secured a nervy win over Genoa, the lack of cohesion risks unravelling against Serie A’s sharper attacks. Compounding matters, midfield absences have disrupted transition play, leaving gaps that opponents like Roma will exploit. ............ Critics argue the medical department must shoulder some blame. Despite modernising facilities, recurring muscular injuries—from hamstrings to fractures—suggest systemic flaws in workload management or recovery protocols. For Tudor, the solution may lie in rotating his limited resources more shrewdly, prioritising key fixtures while accepting squad limitations. As the season reaches its climax, Tudor’s adaptability will be scrutinised. Can he forge unity from chaos, or will Juventus’ patched-up XI falter under pressure? ............ Tudor’s legacy, and Juventus’ season, now depend on navigating a minefield with dwindling tools. . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/can-igor-tudor-navigate-the-final-stretch-successfully/

Marchisio sees difference for star striker under Tudor Juventus icon Claudio Marchisio has highlighted one particular player whose role has notably evolved since Igor Tudor assumed managerial duties at the club. Tudor was appointed as the Bianconeri head coach during the recent international break, and he marked his debut with a victory over Genoa. ............ Several individuals in the squad have underperformed throughout the season, but Tudor appears to be making incremental improvements, with some players already benefiting from his new approach. One such individual is promising young talent Kenan Yildiz. ............ When asked what has impressed him most during Tudor’s early tenure, Claudio Marchisio pointed to Yildiz’s evolving role within the team. He explained: “The situations Yildiz found himself in. He also did well with Thiago Motta, but he had tasks across the board, with a lot of sacrifice to distribute in defence.” Marchisio went on to add: “Talents like that, of course, have to enter into both phases and mechanisms of the team. But freedom up front helps to stay clear-headed up front. And to score goals.” ............ Tudor’s strategy appears to involve giving the young attacker more positional freedom in the final third, allowing him to operate with greater clarity and decisiveness. ............ .

“Big flaw” Massimo Pavan sends a warning to Juventus about AS Roma Juventus’ next challenge will be against AS Roma, with Igor Tudor aiming to secure his second consecutive victory since taking charge. Following a narrow 1-0 win over Genoa in his debut match, Tudor and his squad are well aware that Roma pose a significantly tougher challenge. This fixture is crucial for both teams as they continue their late push to secure a top-four finish in Serie A. The Bianconeri are determined to claim all three points, but Roma, under the experienced leadership of Claudio Ranieri, are equally motivated to strengthen their position in the league. Given the high stakes, this match is expected to be a fiercely contested encounter. ............ Football analyst Massimo Pavan has highlighted this tactical battle, cautioning Juventus against losing possession in dangerous areas. He stated: “You must not lose the ball when coming out, this has been the big flaw of the last matches.” Pavan’s warning reflects the concerns surrounding Juventus’ recent performances, where moments of carelessness in possession have led to vulnerabilities. Against a team like Roma, which thrives on quick transitions and counter-attacks, any lapse in concentration could prove costly. Juventus will need to maintain discipline, particularly in midfield, to avoid gifting Roma opportunities to capitalise on turnovers. The upcoming clash represents a significant test for Juventus and their players must be at their best to secure a positive result. ............ .

Juventus looking at an audacious summer swoop on Newcastle United Juventus remain determined to sign Sandro Tonali, despite the considerable financial outlay that would be required to secure the midfielder’s services. Tonali is one of the few Italian players who has successfully built a career abroad, and his performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs. ............ Since his move to Newcastle, Tonali has settled in well, and he played an instrumental role in the club’s recent Carabao Cup victory. While he appears happy in England, there is speculation that he could be open to returning to Serie A, with Juventus being one of the few clubs financially capable of making such a deal happen. ............ Juventus are reportedly keen to bring the talented midfielder to Turin, and they may look to include Douglas Luiz in their offer as part of the deal. ............ However, it’s important to note that Newcastle are unlikely to part with one of their key players easily. The club’s hierarchy has made it clear that they are reluctant to sell, meaning that any potential move for Tonali would come at a significant financial cost. Juventus will need to be prepared to meet Newcastle’s valuation if they hope to land the midfielder, and it remains to be seen whether they can successfully negotiate terms that suit both parties. .

Juventus change their plans for ‘inconsistent’ Conceicao Juventus are no longer keen to sign Francisco Conceicao on a permanent basis as they were in recent months. The Bianconeri acquired the services of the 22-year-old on a loan from Porto last summer, but the original agreement didn’t include an option to buy. ............ “The relationship with Conceicao and with the agent is excellent: we want him to stay with us, he will stay 100% in the future,” said Cristiano Giuntoli in December. This statement was also echoed by the player’s representative Jorge Mendes who promised to keep the diminutive star at Juventus. But Conceicao’s redemption is no longer a certainty as previously suggested. ............ The former Ajax man has been too ‘inconsistent’ for the club’s liking since the turn of the new year, and has been struggling to maintain his fitness while being struck with recurring physical problems. Juventus would have to fork out 30 million euros to activate the player’s release clause. ............ .
