NAME: Roma – Juventus
DATE: 5 Mar 2023
TIME: 19:45 UTC
VENUE: Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy
After suffering a shock loss to winless opponents earlier this week, Roma welcome in-form Juventus to Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.
Two of Calcio’s traditional giants convene in the capital, separated by nine points in the Serie A standings due to Juve’s penalty, but all the momentum is with a revived Old Lady.
Having previously cemented a place in the Europa League’s last 16, the Giallorossi were tripped up by a side seemingly destined for a quick return to Serie B, and a controversial encounter – decided by Daniel Ciofani’s late penalty – was their second loss to Cremonese in the space of a few weeks, following a Coppa Italia exit at their hands last month.
During the game, Jose Mourinho was sent from the touchline for a third time this season, but after speculation surrounding the fourth official’s conduct during a flare-up between the pair, Roma’s hierarchy have launched an appeal to reduce their head coach’s suspension.
Whether the veteran tactician stalks the touchline on Sunday night, he will want to see an immediate response from his team following such an unsatisfactory result, though – for all his success with Inter – Mourinho has won just two games against Juventus in the Italian top flight.
As last year’s Europa Conference League winners, Roma aim to replicate that feat in Europe’s second-tier competition later this term, but their main aim remains gaining access to the Champions League via their final league position. The input of top scorer and ex-Juve star Paulo Dybala could prove crucial in that regard.
They face stiff competition from several other contenders – perhaps even a resurgent Juventus – but at least have the comfort of home soil to fall back on when they tackle the Bianconeri this weekend: the capital club have won each of their last four home games in Serie A without conceding a single goal.
Roma possible starting lineup:
Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Cristante, Matic, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Dybala; Abraham
Juventus possible starting lineup:
Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Sandro; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria; Vlahovic
