Juventus betting odds for a win stand at 1.72 (3/ 4). Given their current form, Roma is the underdog with odds of 4.50 (7/2) for victory. Juventus vs Roma odds for a draw stands at 3.50 (5/2).
Roma won just one of their previous eight matches with Juventus in Serie A. On the other hand, The Old Lady won four of those encounters. Three of those fixtures ended as draws.
Thiago Motta’s tenure as Juventus manager has begun with two emphatic 3-0 victories. The Old Lady currently leads Serie A with six points, six goals scored, and zero goals conceded. Claiming a win over Roma will position them as early favorites in the title race.
Thiago Motta’s success at Bologna last season was impressive, helping them qualify for the Champions League. Despite those results, transitioning to Juventus represents a significant step up for the former Italian national. Juventus hasn’t claimed the league title in four years, finishing third last season, 23 points behind Inter. The Old Lady will aim to build on their strong start by securing a third league win against Roma.
Khéphren Thuram and Timothy Weah remain sidelined for Juventus due to hamstring injuries, and Filip Kostić is also nursing a ligament wound.
Roma’s season has started poorly, with a 0-0 draw against Cagliari. Their next game ended as a 2-1 home defeat against Empoli. So far, they have only secured one win in their last six Serie A away matches. During that run, they have lost two games and drawn three times.
Roma finished sixth last season, six points shy of the top four. The expectation would be a stronger performance this season. However, their early season form has been poor. The Giallorossi travel to Turin in search of their first win of the season on a ground where they’ve not triumphed since 2020. On a positive note, Paolo Dybala remains with the team despite speculation linking him to the Saudi Pro League.
Roma currently has a healthy squad list with no major injury concerns.

Juventus have started the season strong with back-to-back wins against newly promoted Como and Hellas Verona. They’ll look to extend that momentum by defeating Roma on Sunday. The Old Lady has been formidable at the Allianz Stadium, losing just two of their last 32 matches across all competitions. On the other hand, Roma has struggled at this venue, failing to win in their previous four visits. We expect Thiago Motta’s side to pick up maximum points again this weekend.

Juventus have kicked off their season in style, scoring three goals in their first two matches. Impressively, six of Juve’s last eight games have ended with over 2.5 goals. Similarly, six of Roma’s last 11 away fixtures have ended with more than 2.5 goals. Both teams have a wealth of attacking talent. As a result, we anticipate a high-energy match that could produce plenty of goals. The 24/25 Serie A odds for this bet option are 2.00 (1/1).

Dusan Vlahovic kicked off his 2024/25 season in gameweek 2, netting twice to secure Juventus’ 3-0 win over Hellas Verona. The Serbian was the team’s leading scorer last season with 16 goals and will aim to improve his tally this season. Known for his intelligent movement and goal-scoring instincts, Vlahovic will now look to continue his form against Roma. He’s a top favorite to upset the Giallorossi’s defense, which could see him scoring on Sunday.
