Analysis: Juventus - Roma, odds and tips

A quarter final match Juventus vs. Roma is one of the most interesting matches in the Coppa Italia. Who will win this fight?

Classification and teams’ condition:
In the previous round, Juventus eliminated Bologna (2-1), while AS Roma defeated Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico 3-0. To the winner of this match is being awaited by Lazio or Milan.

The Roma’s balance of games in Turin: 49 defeats, 21 ties and only 9 victories.

Tips and justifications:
