The Roma vs Juventus match will take place on Monday, 7 April at the iconic Stadio Olimpico. Both teams will lock horns as they aim to get three points in the upcoming fixture in the Serie A.

Caludio Ranieri came out of retirement to manage Roma, and he has massively improved the form and performance level of the Giallorossi as they have gotten more confident under him. Now Roma are in a good position to get a European competition spot and surely, they will aim to get a Champions League spot. Juventus is one of the teams in the way of Roma getting a European spot. If Roma had started their season positively, then surely, they would have been in a title race spot but still they will be satisfied on Ranieri overturned the situation. In 30 games, they have won 15, drawn seven and have lost eight games, with 52 points on the table, they are sixth in the board.

There are a few matches left to achieve their objective and surely, they are capable of achieving it this time.

After a lot of thinking, the Juventus management finally decided to sack Thiago Motta as their head coach, as he failed to deliver results. Despite having a top-quality team, Motta failed to achieve the objectives set by the board members. he has been replaced by former Hellas Verona and Marseille manager Igor Tudor, as the former Croatian international has a lot of expectations from the fans.

Even though not a lot of matches are left to be played but Tudor is still capable of leading his team to finish as high as possible in the points table. Juventus have a three-point lead over Roma, and surely, they will look to extend it more to get into the top four spot. This will be a mouthwatering clash.

Key Players to Watch in Roma vs Juventus

Matias Soule (Roma)

Soule loves to come inside to create, and he thrives in tight pockets in central areas. His vision and spatial awareness enable him to hurt the opposition's defence by drifting around these spaces and cutting through their defence. He has an excellent delivery in his locker and is skilled at playing chipped or lofted passes into the box from the right half spaces.

The Argentine plays with flair and a level of confidence that's visually captivating. He is always looking to make something happen, and when he has the ball in certain areas, he will all but certainly create danger. Despite being short, he is a player who doesn't fear anybody and has the courage to do everything by himself. In 19 games, he has scored three goals and has provided one assist.

Teun Koopmeiners (Juventus)

The Dutchman is very athletic as well as being incredibly intelligent in the way he plays. He equally contributes to attack as well as in defence, as he breaks up play well and helps his side retain possession of the ball. His ability to win the ball high up the pitch enables his team to regain possession closer to the opposition's goal and generate better goal-scoring opportunities.

Koopmeiners's ability to spot free space and then play the long ball to exploit it is second to none. A true box-to-box midfielder in every sense of the word, the Dutchman can pretty much do it all.

His versatility is also one of the biggest weapons with which he is able to help his team. He has played 26 games, in which he has scored two goals and provided three assists.

Roma vs Juventus Prediction

This will be a tightly contested fixture for sure as both teams have almost similar quality players in their team and are very much capable of making this an exciting fixture.

Both teams have a very rich history of football in the top division and is one of the best fixtures in Serie A. Even though both teams are going through some tough times, it will be a match to watch out for sure. Most probably, this fixture will end in a stalemate.
