The title race is over as Inter Milan has won the Serie A this season with three games left to play. But the others are fighting for their place in the top four, where Roma and Juventus are two of them. After suffering a home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Europa League semifinal, AS Roma are ready to be back in action in Serie A tonight. They will host Juventus FC tonight at Stadio Olimpico.

The match will not be easy for Roma since Massimiliano Allegri’s side has always been a difficult opponent. Roma boss Daniel De Rossi has a huge respect for Allegri for what he did for Italian football. De Rossi said, “First of all, Allegri is a coach that you have to face with great respect because he’s made Italian football history and is still leading his team at the highest level.”

“I also have a bit of a soft spot for him because he used to play with my dad. My dad told me about when this young, very promising player was playing with him. So I’ve always kept an eye on him during his career,” added the Roma manager.

Prediction: Roma 1-1 Juventus

Both AS Roma and Juventus are not having their peak time in Serie A this season. Although Roma is the home side, they are not a favorite. This is because their home performance in recent matches are below average and conceded two goals against Bayer Leverkusen. On the other hand, Juventus are also winless in their last three league games. As a result, we are expecting a draw between the two sides at Stadio Olimpico.
