Following a stellar start to the new season, a revitalised Juventus will host Roma in Turin on Sunday evening, aiming to secure their third consecutive victory in Serie A.
The Bianconeri have not only had the upper hand against their rivals from the capital in recent encounters, but they have also started the 2024-25 season in remarkable form.
With two wins, six goals, two clean sheets and maximum points to their name so far this season, Juventus have shot to the top of the very early Serie A standings, ahead of arch-rivals and reigning champions Inter Milan.
Following up their 3-0 defeat of Como on the opening matchday, Thiago Motta's men swept aside a Hellas Verona team that had just toppled Napoli, as last term's top scorer Dusan Vlahovic helped himself to two goals at Stadio Bentegodi.
As for Roma, the Giallorossi suffered a frustrating 2-1 defeat at home to Empoli last weekend. Roma have struggled significantly on the road against Juventus in Serie A, suffering defeats in 11 of their last 13 visits and conceding goals in each of their last 21 encounters. The Giallorossi last managed a clean sheet in Turin back in September 2001, a match where the legendary striker Gabriel Batistuta found the back of the net.
However, the two sides played to a 1-1 draw in their most recent meeting at the Stadio Olimpico in May, as Roma was on course to finish sixth for the third consecutive season.

Thiago Motta has the luxury of utilizing new recruits Teun Koopmeiners, Sergio Conceicao, and Nico Gonzalez this weekend, but both Timothy Weah and Khephren Thuram are sidelined with injuries. Following Federico Chiesa's departure to Liverpool, unwanted centre-back Tiago Djalo is poised to join Sunday’s rivals after their initial target, Kevin Danso, failed a medical earlier this week.
