Roma vs Juventus Betting Tips

Roma experienced a disappointing opening game. They controlled a lot of the play against Verona, but couldn’t break their opponents down and were actually potentially lucky not to be scored upon late in that game.

This squad has returned in 2015-16 with some concerns. They don’t look like they are going to score huge numbers of goals, while they have a number of players who can dictate terms and control the game from midfield. The wide play should develop into more a strength, but they didn’t get to the line against Verona, where they could potentially have caused serious problems. Either way, a second game against Juventus will be a test.

Meanwhile, Juventus’ new look squad without Pirlo and Tevez didn’t get off to a good start. They lost at home against Udinese and looked seriously blunted up front. It was a disappointing effort for a side that most are tipping as huge favourites to retain their Serie A title.

There’s plenty of time for the new players including Sandro, Khedira, Dybala, Mandzukic and Zaza to mesh in. It will perhaps take some time. Of course, league football teams flash by faster than expected and an early season loss to a big rival is never acceptable.

Last season, Roma managed a 1-1 draw at home against Juventus, but lost an entertaining away game 3-2.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Urgency

We’re expecting a little bit more of an attacking game from both sides after the disappointment of the opening weekend. One point won’t be enough for either side to compensate for the points lost in their first games.

2. Juventus attacking players come together

For all of their possession and Udinese’s lack of threat. Juventus didn’t do the business in the final third. It’s a common problem for clubs all around Europe, but one that this side should not have moving forward. We don’t think their challenges are solved, but they’ll pose more of a threat and score a goal in this game.

3. Great odds

Two quality teams, who had two BTTS games last season, even odds on the same thing happening here is too good to pass up.
