In this round of Serie A, Roma will play Juventus away, which is undoubtedly a huge test for them. This season, Juventus are the favourites to win the league and are far superior to Roma, and Roma will have to do their best to get three points against such a strong team away from home.
Before the start of the Roma game, they have received two bad news, that is, Fiorentina and Lazio two opponents in the fourth, this round both beat their respective opponents at home, got three points, which undoubtedly forced Roma into a desperate situation, and then they must fight Juventus, otherwise, the gap between Roma and the top four has widened.
In the match at home to Torino, Fiorentina almost pulled off an upset. Although they had the absolute initiative in this game, they were unable to score for a long time. It wasn't until the end of the game that they scored with a header to make it 1-0.
Fiorentina crossed from the right, only for centre-back Ranieri to nod the ball back and head it into the back of the net. If it weren't for his flash of inspiration, Fiorentina would have had a good chance of dropping points in this game. After this game, Fiorentina has won 3 consecutive games + 5 rounds of unbeaten, and the form is very good.
Like Fiorentina, Lazio also got three points at home in this round, but their victory was a little more thrilling. At home to Frosinoni, Lazio conceded a goal before waking up from a dream, relying on goals from the likes of Isaksson and Patrick to finally turn their opponents 3-1.
In addition to this game, Lazio ushered in 2 consecutive wins in Serie A, and in the last 5 rounds, in addition to losing to Inter, they won 3 and drew 10 points in the other 4 games, and their form has obviously improved. After qualifying for the Champions League, Lazio focused on the league and they began to fight for the top four.
Seeing Fiorentina and Lazio win, Roma will undoubtedly be under pressure. Fiorentina are now up to fourth place, five points ahead of Roma, while Lazio are one point behind Roma, and the city's rivals are ready to take their place.
Now Roma, there is no way back, even if it is a strong opponent like Juventus, Roma is also aiming to get three points, they do not beat the opponent, and the hope of fighting for the fourth is getting slimmer. Luckily, Dybala had returned from injury ahead of this game, and the Argentine superstar returned in time to partner Romelu Lukaku up front, and Roma also saw hope of picking up the three points. Last season, Roma won 1 and drew 1 against Juventus, and it is not without chances to win against this opponent.
If they can beat Juventus, it will definitely kill two birds with one stone for Jose Mourinho, as Roma can close the gap on their opponents in front of them and help their old club Inter Milan. In this round of visiting Genoa, Inter Milan was forced to draw 1-1 by their opponents, losing 2 points in vain, if Juventus win Roma, the gap between them and Inter will be reduced to 2 points, and Inter's top position will be in jeopardy. I believe that Inter also hopes that Roma can beat Juventus away from home, at least to get points, once Roma loses, it will be a critical blow to Mu Shuai and Inter!
