Juventus and Roma are set to clash in a highly anticipated Serie A match on Sunday evening. The game will take place at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, marking one of the first big matches of the Serie A Enilive 2024/25 season.
The two teams enter the match with contrasting starts to their campaigns. Juventus, under new manager Thiago Motta, have had a perfect start with two wins from two games. Roma, on the other hand, have struggled, collecting only one point from their first two matches.
Special attention will be on two notable former players: Paulo Dybala, who remained at Roma despite offers from Saudi Arabia, and Matias Soulé, recently sold by Juventus to Roma.
The match will be officiated by Marco Guida from Torre Annunziata, with Carbone and Peretti as assistants, Feliciani as the fourth official, and Di Paolo and Paterna in charge of VAR.
Juventus manager Thiago Motta will have new signings Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, and Conceicao available, but may introduce them gradually. Thuram is absent, while Danilo’s status is uncertain. Motta might stick with the team that has won the first two games, scoring 8 goals without conceding.
Roma’s preparation has been more turbulent, with reports of a disagreement between manager De Rossi and midfielder Cristante, potentially affecting the latter’s place in the starting lineup. Le Féè is out, while Dybala, Pellegrini, and Dovbyk are expected to start. New signings Abdulhamid and Danso could feature.
Probable Lineups:
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Danilo, Bremer, Gatti, Cabal; Locatelli, Douglas Luiz; Cambiaso, Yildiz, Mbangula; Vlahovic.
Roma (4-3-2-1): Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino; Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini; Dybala, Soulé; Dovbyk.
