Roma vs Juventus Predictions - March 1, 2026

Roma’s formidable home defensive record, combined with Juventus’ severe attacking absentees, particularly Vlahović, tips the balance firmly in the hosts’ favour. Gasperini’s disciplined defensive structure has conceded just 0.62 goals per game this season. A resolute Roma side look well-positioned to grind out a narrow but thoroughly deserved victory at the Stadio Olimpico

Meeting for a Sunday night showdown at Stadio Olimpico, top-four contenders Roma and Juventus will fight for three precious points this weekend.

Juve have started to falter in Serie A, falling behind the Giallorossi, and they made another early Champions League exit on Wednesday.

Head-to-head:

• Roma have won 12 of the last 59 meetings between the two teams.

• Juventus recorded 30 victories.

• The remaining 17 clashes ended in draws.

• Only two of their last 10 encounters produced more than two goals.

Form:

• Roma in the league: D-L-W-D-W

• Roma in all competitions: D-L-W-D-W

• Juventus in the league: W-W-D-L-L

• Juventus in all competitions: D-L-L-L-W

Team News:

• Artem Dovbyk has muscle injury until, Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé remain doubtful with knee and muscle issues. Mario Hermoso and Evan Ferguson have muscle and thigh injuries.

• Dušan Vlahović misses the match with a tendon injury. Manuel Locatelli is suspended. Emil Holm is recovering from a calf injury. Arkadiusz Milik remains doubtful due to muscular issues.

Player(s) to watch:

• Wesley França made an immediate impact at the Stadio Olimpico. Across 11 Serie A appearances this season, França has scored two goals and kept five clean sheets. He also averages 1.93 tackles per 90 minutes. These numbers show he is one of the most dynamic fullbacks in the league. Furthermore, França’s overlapping runs constantly stretch opposition defensive lines. This opens up space for Roma’s midfielders to exploit.

• Kenan Yildiz carries the weight of Juventus’ creative ambitions almost entirely on his 20-year-old shoulders. He handles that responsibility with remarkable composure. In the 2025-26 Serie A season, he has recorded eight goals and four assists across 2,050 minutes. His average FotMob rating is 7.55. This score proves he performs at a high level every week, not just in short bursts. Fabio Capello has already compared Yıldız to Alessandro Del Piero. Against Roma, his ability to cut inside from the left and create individual goals makes him a major threat. Gasperini’s defence must contain him
