Current form: Juventus vs Roma
Juventus may have ended their Champions League group stage campaign on a sour note following a surprise 2-1 loss to Swiss debutants Young Boys, but the Bianconeri nonetheless have been virtually flawless this season. Massimiliano Allegri's men are firmly in control of the league thanks to their unbeaten start, which includes wins in their last seven league fixtures. La Vecchia Signora are well on course to making it an unprecedented eighth straight Scudetto this May, but of course, they will want more than just domestic glory this season.
With their Champions League round of 16 tie against Atletico Madrid being months away, for now, the Bianconeri will be focused on domestic affairs. Next up on the menu for the Turin titans is Roma, who have struggled to emulate their impressive form from last season. The Lupi had to fight from 2-1 down to secure a 3-2 win over Genoa in their last match, and their poor away record, which has seen them win just twice on the road certainly does not pit this tie in their favor.
In their travels, they have shockingly lost to Udinese and Bologna - two teams who are battling relegation - and failed to get a victory against fellow big side AC Milan. And to complicate things further for the Lupi, they have lost in each and every single one of their last seven trips to the Allianz Stadium. In short, the odds don't look good for the visitors, who certainly would have been hoping to face a different side on matchday 17.
Current position: Juventus vs Roma
Having won their last seven Serie A games, Juventus have pulled well clear of the chasing pack. The Bianconeri are still the only unbeaten side in the league this season and will look to extend their lead over Napoli to 11 points with a win over Roma on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Giallorossi sit in seventh spot, but are just three points behind AC Milan, who occupies the last Champions League berth. With the Rossoneri facing a potentially tricky test against Fiorentina, Roma will hope to become the first side to beat Juventus in Serie A this season. Only Genoa, who managed a surprise 1-1 draw against La Vecchia Signora, have been able to even nick a point against the reigning champions.
Here's how the two sides compare ahead of Saturday's showdown at Allianz Stadium.
