Roma vs Juventus prediction 01.03.2026 | Serie A

Roma’s recent momentum has been positive. They registered a 3-0 win over Cremonese in their last match, capitalizing on their opportunities and reinforcing a defensive record that remains the best in the league, with just 16 goals conceded in 26 games. Aside from an unexpected 1-0 loss to Udinese a couple of weeks ago, Roma have compiled a solid run of five wins and two draws over that period, lifting them to third place in the table.

Injury and fitness news has been mixed, with Paulo Dybala still sidelined by a knee issue and ruled out for this fixture. There’s also uncertainty over defender Mario Hermoso’s participation, as he recently dealt with a muscle issue. On the plus side, Matteo Soule is aiming to recover in time to start, bolstering Roma’s attacking options in Dybala’s absence.

Juventus enter this match with contrasting recent fortunes. They have shown resilience - notably a 3-0 win over Napoli in January that boosted confidence - but consistency has been elusive. The Old Lady head into this fixture following a devastating and physically demanding Champions League exit in midweek, where they fell to Galatasaray despite winning the second leg 3-2, ultimately losing the tie 7-5 on aggregate.

Domestically, they must show immediate improvement if they are to remain in contention for Champions League qualification next season, having gone three league matches without a win since 1 February.

Injury concerns persist, particularly for key forward Kenan Yildiz, who is dealing with a calf contusion and could be a fitness doubt given a heavy schedule that includes European commitments.
