In the 27th round of the Italian Serie A on March 1, 2026, Roma will face Juventus. This is an important clash in the battle for a Champions League spot.
The Roman team fell one point behind their current rival in the spring. Gasperini took charge in the summer, but the team is still undergoing a restructuring process. They are performing well in the Europa League, even though it isn’t a priority.
The same goes for the cup, where they were quickly knocked out at home by Torino. In Serie A, Roma could finish as high as third or as low as sixth, as the competition is very tight. That’s why it was important for them to beat Cremonese after drawing with Napoli.
The Turin club replaced the completely underperforming Thiago Motta with Tudor a year ago. Tudor won the race for fourth place but couldn’t overcome a prolonged crisis at the start of this season—that was left to the experienced Spalletti. He’s also had setbacks, including a 0-3 cup defeat to Atalanta. In the Champions League, they had to start the playoffs in February, and lost 2-5 away to Galatasaray. At home, despite being down to ten men, they managed a 3-0 result in regular time, but conceded twice in extra time. In Serie A, they are direct competitors to Roma, and in the latest rounds, they have lost not only to Inter but also to Como.
The capital’s players score an average of 1.31 goals per match, while conceding just 0.62. Their opponents are more entertaining—scoring 1.65 goals per game, but also conceding 0.96.
