Roma are unbeaten in their last five home league encounters vs Juventus (W3, D2), with each of the wins seeing them score exactly twice in the second half. On the other hand, a glut of at least two goals for Juventus would see them hit a century of historic SA away goals vs Roma.
That milestone may be delayed though, with six of the last seven league H2Hs played out in the capital city yielding a goalless first half. Relevantly, just one of the last nine SA H2Hs played anywhere has seen both teams score before half-time.
The ‘Bianconeri’ enjoy a strong record as an away favourite in league games this term (W5, D2, L1), for a win-rate of 62.5%. However, it is worth noting that a significant 60% of Juventus’ last five SA away games have seen the first scorer fail to win (First Scorer: D1, L2).
Players to watch: Edin Džeko scored the final goal in last season’s corresponding SA fixture (W 2-0). His five most recent SA goals have been the first or last of their respective matches.
The immortal Cristiano Ronaldo netted a second-half hat-trick in Juventus’ last outing after a goalless first half. In turn, he has averaged 2.0 goals per-game across the Bianconeri’s last three wins.
Stat attack: None of Roma’s last seven home league victories have seen them win both halves.
Roma have scored a penalty goal in three of their last four home games won/drawn.
If excluding own-goals, just one of Juventus’ last six SA away wins have seen them score in both halves.
