Champions Juventus play host to AS Roma in the final round of the Serie A season. Top of the league for the ninth season in a row, Juventus fought off competition from Inter Milan and Lazio to retain their crown. They are currently four points ahead of Inter Milan in second place. 11 points behind Lazio and four ahead of AC Milan, AS Roma are destined to finish fifth in the table. While it is disappointing to miss out on the Champions League, securing Europa League football represents a moderately successful campaign for the capital club. Roma come into this game in much better form than Juventus or any other team in the division. Unbeaten in seven Serie A matches, they have won six and will wonder what could have been had they found their rhythm earlier in the campaign. Juventus, meanwhile, have been in a rut for the last month and stumbled across the finish line in first place. They started off the return to Serie A action with four successive wins but have only managed two wins from their last seven matches. Both Roma and Juventus have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven games, each getting very different results. 

Roma's last league win at Juventus was a decade ago, 2-1 in 2010. Victory seems even more unlikely for the visitors when you consider that Juventus are unbeaten at home in the league this season, winning 16 of their 18 games. Only Inter Milan and Atalanta have a better away record than Roma, who have won four of their last six away matches. Watching Roma lately has been like attending an exhibition of goals with all seven of their post-lockdown matches featuring three or more goals. Given the way that Juventus have been defending of late, we can see another goal festival. Back a draw and both teams to score.
