Juventus Face Crucial Clash Against In-Form Roma

Juventus hopes of securing a Champions League spot face a major test against Roma, who are on a seven-match Serie A winning streak. Currently in fifth place, Juve sit one point outside the top four with eight games left. Meanwhile, Bologna, in fourth, has won six straight games. Roma, missing injured Paulo Dybala, aim for an unexpected Champions League qualification. Atalanta, Fiorentina, and Lazio are also in contention, making the top-four race intense.

Juventus faces a crucial challenge against in-form Roma on Sunday as they fight for a top-four finish in Serie A and a Champions League spot. Currently fifth with 59 points, Juve trails fourth-placed Bologna by one point. With eight matches left, six teams, including Atalanta (third, 63 points) and Fiorentina (eighth, 56 points), remain in contention. Juventus, under Igor Tudor, needs Champions League qualification after investing over €200 million in squad improvements.

Roma, on a seven-game winning streak, have lost just six points in their last 14 league matches and are aiming for an unexpected top-four finish under Claudio Ranieri. However, they have tough fixtures ahead, including Lazio, Inter Milan, and Atalanta. Roma will also miss Paulo Dybala, who is injured for the rest of the season.

Bologna, with six straight wins, hosts Napoli on Monday, while Lazio faces Atalanta in another key match. Meanwhile, Inter Milan, Serie A leaders with 69 points, play Parma before facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini, with 13 goals and three assists this season, remains in top form and is pushing for an Italy recall.
