Preview: Roma vs Juventus
With Inter being held to a frustrating draw by Atalanta earlier today, Juventus can now seize top spot should they beat Roma in their game later on Sunday. They rebounded well following their disappointing loss to Lazio in the Supercoppa Italiana by crushing Cagliari,uring which Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first hat-trick in Serie A and chipped in with an assist, so he was involved in all four of Juve's goals. The Portuguese superstar has now scored in five straight league fixture and will certainly be looking to make it a sixth consecutive match as the Bianconeri look to leap-frog the Nerazzurri in the battle for the Scudetto.
Roma, for their part, are struggling with a whole slew of injuries that have continued to plague them since the start of the season, but despite coming into this game having suffered a shock loss to Torino, they have won three of their last five games. Furthermore, the Giallorossi are unbeaten in their last six home games against Juventus. Moreover, it's clear that La Vecchia Signora still are not 100 per cent confident in defense - as seen when they lost twice to Lazio, so they could face a tough test against a Roma team who earned a hard-fought draw against current league leaders Inter.
