Juventus are brimming with confidence going into this direct head-to-head for third place, while Roma welcome Edin Dzeko back, although probably only to the bench.
The Bianconeri have won every game in 2021 except for one, the 2-0 defeat at Inter, but gained revenge for that with a 2-1 first leg Coppa Italia result at San Siro on Tuesday evening. The second leg is coming up, so squad rotation remains essential, but coach Andrea Pirlo seems to have found the way he wants the team to play. ‘We know our strength.’ When Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring, there were concerns it’d be a repeat of the 2-0 Inter victory in Serie A just 16 days ago. A penalty for the Ashley Young shirt tug on Juan Cuadrado and Cristiano Ronaldo pouncing on a defensive howler turned the game around.
The second leg will be in Turin on February 9, with a 2-1 away lead under their belts. Pirlo surprised with some of his team choices this evening, resting both Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini in favor of Merih Demiral and Matthijs de Ligt. “Whether Bonucci or Demiral plays, it ought to make no difference. I understand that Ronaldo wasn’t happy at being substituted, but it was only right to rest him for the upcoming Serie A game, even if just a few minutes. He could not have answered his critics in a better way than he did tonight. “We have a squad full of champions and must make the most of that.”
Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; De Ligt, Bonucci, Danilo; Cuadrado, McKennie, Arthur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Morata, Ronaldo
Suspended: Bentancur
Injured: Dybala
Roma had to resolve the Dzeko row with Paulo Fonseca after he failed to find another club in the January transfer window, but it’s safe to say the situation is still far from rosy. The Bosnian was stripped of the captain’s armband and will likely only be on the bench here, as Borja Mayoral is starting to find the net a little more regularly. Paulo Fonseca admitted Roma was helped by a ‘perfect first half’ in the 3-1 win against Hellas Verona and was coy on Edin Dzeko’s return to the squad. ‘We’ll talk about it’. Roma responded with three goals in nine minutes during the first half and ran out as comfortable winners against Ivan Juric’s men, something Fonseca stressed is ‘not easy’.
The rumors regarding the coach’s position have been part of a strange week for La Lupa, as Dzeko was still left out against the Gialloblu. “I have to maintain great balance. A coach said that all coaches must have their suitcase ready: this is our life,” Fonseca told media. “We scored against the best defense in the league and it wasn’t easy. They are aggressive and very strong. “I think the team understood that we should have changed our intentions. The first half was perfect, we managed to score three goals against a very strong team.”
Roma (3-4-2-1): Mirante; Mancini, Ibanez, Kumbulla; Karsdorp, Cristante, Veretout, Spinazzola; Mkhitaryan, Pedro, Borja Mayoral
Suspended: Pellegrini
Injured: Smalling, Zaniolo

Cristiano Ronaldo could fire blanks in four consecutive league appearances for the first time since November 2017 at Real Madrid and Roma is the ideal match up to break that bad streak. The home win is the best betting option.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
