Juventus needs only one point in the next three games to secure their 6th consecutive title in Italian championship and their 33rd overall. And what better way to defend the title than to stay unbeaten against your biggest rival and the closest opponent at their ground.
That is the most significant motive for Roma in this match. Their fans were pretty upset after a defeat against Lazio in Derby Della Capitale, and there were some unpleasant scenes after that game. This is why the home team can't afford a bad result in this fixture.
Roma News And Forum
In the last 10 games, the home team has only one defeat, and that was against the city arrivals. They have 8 wins and one draw, and despite the excellent run recently, they just couldn't keep up with Juventus, and they had a chance to close up after the Old Lady had two slips recently.
In the last 4 games, Roma conceded a goal, and in 8 out of 10 most recent games we saw over 2.5 goals. When looking home record in the last two games, Roma didn't win because they lost against Lazio and got only one point against Atalanta. Throughout the whole season, they have 14 victories one draw, and two defeats with 44 goals scored in 17 matches and they are the second-most efficient team at home.

Juventus is near the title. In the last 10 games overall, they have just one defeat, and that was against the Napoli in the second leg of semifinals of Coppa Italia, but that failure wasn't painful because Juventus advanced to the finals after winning 3-1 in the first game. The main thing and the only thing on Juventus mind is the famous Treble, and they have a chance to start winning silverware tonight. After this game, they will play against Lazio in the finals of Coppa Italia and after that the big finals against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Prediction
Although Juventus is playing low-efficient games on the road, tonight's match will be completely different comparing to the previous ones. They have highly motivated Roma opposite to themselves, and we are sure that the home team will play offensive and will try to score as many goals as possible. Edin Dzeko's absence will be a huge blow for them, but don't think that this will affect Roma's style of play. This will force the Old Lady to be a bit more offensive, and that is why we advise you to play Over 2.5 goals in this match.
For you who are brave, we propose a longshot. Over 1.5 goals in first half time.
Goals: Over 2.5
Goals: Over 1.5 HT
