Juventus: form and statistics

Had Juventus lost in the previous round away to Bologna, they would have fallen too far behind the top spot. With that in mind, Luciano Spalletti’s team played in a very focused manner throughout the match and eventually secured a victory. The only goal came in the 64th minute, when Juan Cabal, recently back from injury, scored from a corner kick to make it 1-0. Juventus were helped by the fact that their opponents had played in European competition a day later, as well as by a dismissal - Bologna defender Heggem received a straight red card in the 69th minute. Ahead of Round 16, Juventus have climbed to fifth place in the standings, trail the top four by four points, and are still involved in the title race, sitting seven points behind first place.

Prior to the trip to Bologna, Juventus also recorded another important victory during the week. At home, the Bianconeri overcame Cypriot side Pafos 2-0 with some difficulty, consolidating their position in the playoff zone of the Champions League league phase. With two rounds remaining, Juve sit 17th, and in January they will host Benfica before travelling to face Monaco.

Roma: form and statistics

Last round, the Romans played on Monday. At home, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team hosted the season’s major revelation, Como, and showed that Cesc Fàbregas’ side are not yet ready to think about a Champions League spot. Roma played in their usual style, securing a 1-0 victory. The only goal came midway through the second half, scored by Wesley, a defender who transferred from Brazilian Flamengo before the start of the season. Ahead of Round 16, the Giallorossi are firmly in the top four of Serie A, trailing first place by just three points.

Earlier in the week, Roma also played in European competition - in Glasgow against Celtic - and unexpectedly had a smooth performance. By the end of the first half, the Romans had scored three unanswered goals and comfortably held their advantage in the second half. The 3-0 victory saw goals from Evan Ferguson and an own goal. After six Europa League group stage matches, Gasperini’s team are 10th in the table but are in contention for a top-eight finish, just one point off the automatic qualification spot for the Round of 16. In January, Roma will host Stuttgart and travel to Greece to face Panathinaikos.

Juventus vs Roma prediction 20 December 2025

Roma have conceded the fewest goals in this Serie A season - only eight goals in 15 rounds. Juventus’ defensive record is slightly worse but still solid, with 14 goals conceded, and at home, they have allowed only six goals in seven matches. This suggests the match is likely to be low-scoring, and the history of head-to-head meetings supports this - in the last six encounters between the Bianconeri and Giallorossi, the total goals line was never broken.

Additionally, we are leaning towards a draw. Roma have yet to record a draw in 15 rounds, but it is unrealistic to expect a team to go through an entire season without any. In head-to-head matches against Juventus, a draw occurred in five of the last ten games.

Our betting tip on the match: is X for a coefficient 3.23 in the 1xbet bookmaker.

Our final betting tip on the match: is Correct Score 1:1 for a coefficient 6 in the bet365 bookmaker.
