Juventus have begun life under new manager Thiago Motta in flying fashion, already with two blowout wins under their belt as they host Roma on Sunday.
The Old Lady have logged back-to-back 3-0 victories over Como and Hellas Verona to begin the new Italian league season, with Dusan Vlahovic bagging a brace in the latest three-point adventure.
The hot start has generated excitement for their new boss, who replaced the departed Massimilano Allegri in the summer. Motta has seemingly re-energized the attacking impetus of the defensively-minded club without sacrificing their shape, but this presents the first test against another big Serie A side.

Roma, meanwhile, have struggled to start the campaign, with boss Daniele De Rossi only able to secure a point through the first two games. They're coming off a poor home defeat at the hands of Empoli last time out, following a 0-0 draw against Cagliari in their opener.

Juventus vs. Roma lineups & team news
American international Tim Weah appeared to be very much in Thiago Motta's plan, but a hamstring injury picked up in the season opener leaves him sidelined for a few weeks. Fellow USMNT regular Weston McKennie, however, has been on the outside looking in despite signing a new Juve contract at the start of the campaign.
Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik is missing with a knock, meaning Dusan Vlahovic is without a natural understudy, leaving Kenan Yildiz to move up front if needed. Winger Filip Kostic is out for a number of months with a knee ligament tear suffered on Euro 2024 duty with Serbia.
Juventus projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio (GK) — Savona, Gatti, Bremer, Cabal — Fagioli, Locatelli — Cambiaso, Yildiz, Mbangula — Vlahovic.
The only injury absence for Roma early in the season is that to French midfielder Enzo Le Fee, who is down with a muscle issue. Otherwise, manager Daniele De Rossi can pick from a fully fit squad.
After a sensational season with Girona, new signing Artem Dovbyk has yet to score through the club's opening two matches. You wonder when Eldor Shomurodov may be given a chance to perform after scoring a late consolation in the Empoli defeat last time out. Another player who could work his way into the mix at some point is playmaker Alexis Saelemaekers who just joined from AC Milan on loan.
Roma projected starting lineup (4-3-2-1): Svilar (GK) — Celik, Mancini, N'Dicka, Angelino — Cristante, Paredes, Pellegrini — Dybala, Soule — Dovbyk.
Juventus vs. Roma prediction, betting odds & lines
- Score prediction: Juventus 1-0 Roma
Juventus are due for a regression in the attacking department, having scored six goals on just 2.43 xG against two lower-tier opponents. Still, they are the team in much better form, while Roma have sputtered to this point.
Artem Dovbyk looks a bit lost at his new club, still yet to get his sea legs under him. If he can't get a better grasp of De Rossi's approach, it will leave Juventus in prime position to see their way to three points here.
