Juventus vs. Roma: Time, Live Stream, Prediction and Preview (Coppa Italia - January 20, 2014)

The top two in Serie A do battle again, just a couple of weeks after the 3-0 league win to Juventus in Turin. Roma, with home advantage this time around, will be hopeful of turning the tables, and booking a semi final spot. The 3-0 scoreline was certainly harsh on Roma in the league encounter, and they have won their following three games without conceding. Juventus have an eight point cushion at the top of the league now, following a record breaking twelve straight victories, and are undoubtedly the best side in Italy currently. What could balance things out here though, is that Roma will likely go with a full strength side, while Juventus are expected to rest players. With the Europa league final being in Turin this year, Juventus will be keen to win it, and this cup is only seen as a third priority to them. Juventus coach Antonio Conte will probably play with Giovinco and Quagliarella in place of Tevez and Llorente, Storari for Buffon and some more reserves like Caceres, Isla, Padoin. The only regulars in the starting line-up should be Chiellini (who will be suspended against Lazio), Bonucci and Pirlo. Balzaretti appears the only injury miss for Roma.

Projected Lineups

AS Roma (4-3-3): De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castán, Dodô; Pjanić, Nainggolan, Strootman; Gervinho, Totti, Florenzi

Four of the last five mutual matches between these two teams were high scoring. They already met in Coppa Italia two years ago in Torino when Juventus won with convincing 3:0. Here are the results:

Roma have great results in the first half of the season, but then had a series of few draws and lost to Juventus (3:0) as a guests three rounds ago. After these results they are huge 8 points behind the leader Juventus. But the form is improved now and Roma have three consecutive victories in all competitions, against Sampdoria, Genoa and Livorno. Roma kept the clean sheet on all three matches. The coach Garcia is expecting to play with the best available line-up with the return of Maicon, Florenzi and Francesco Totti. Ljajic and Mattia Destro should start from the bench.
