This is the top game of the week in the Italian Serie A. The Romans, want to live up to their reputation as secret favorites for the Scudetto this year. Juve started the season with a 3-0 over Sassuolo but then came the 0-0 draw against Sampdoria which was far from expected. The bookies see Juventus as favorites in the match against AS Roma but not witch much. AS Roma started the new season with victories over Salernitana and Cremonese. The fact that the result was 1-0 in both cases was probably no coincidence. Since the arrival of the Special One in the Eternal City, no other Serie A manager has won more times with exactly that result than Jose Mourinho himself. In contrast to the Giallorossi, Mourinho has a surprisingly balanced record against Juventus with four wins, one draw and four defeats. Matches between these two clubs have historically always been passionate. The game could also be intense because Paulo Dybala, one of the Old Lady's crowd favorites, switched to the Giallorossi on a free transfer at the start of the season and is now returning as an opponent. The Argentine could also be extremely motivated to score.
