- Roma are unbeaten in their last nine league matches, but were surprisingly eliminated in the Coppa Italia in midweek. Now they owe their fans a good performance here.
- Juventus may deploy a similar game plan to the one used in the draw with Inter a few weeks ago and that could produce a similar outcome here.
