Juventus vs. Roma - Preview

What a great season for Juventus. They finished the first half of the season like table leaders and they are still the only unbeaten team in the league. If someone thought that Conte\'s hair would go whitening till the end of the season was definitely wrong, and I must confess, I was thinking something similar of that. However, Antonio Conte has done something that every manager in the league wish for. You can be obvious favourite against your opponent, but it\'s always hard to play in Italy, because there are other crucial factors that have bigger affect on the play than in other leagues. I am talking about stadiums, fans, atmosphere, so it\'s always tough to play away from home,esspecially in places where the atmosphere created by the fans is enormous boost for the home team. I am talking about places like Sicily, against Catania and Palermo, also including Olympico where are hosts Lazio and Roma, San Siro or Giuseppe Meazza whether you like and the last one in my category is the new Juventus Arena. This stadium became fortress for the Old Lady, they are playing brilliant in front of their fans, scoring 19 goals so far, or it sounds better, more than two goals average per match and only six goals conceded. If Roma had troubles in the first match against them a month ago at Olympico, now this will be harder than ever, considering that Luis Enrique\'s team is not so convincing away from home. However, there is always bright spot in the dark, as manager Conte said that he will made some changes in the team, for those who are injured and for those who had not played enough in the previous matches. Will that affect on the concrete defense, I don\'t know, because it dependes on who will the manager decide to play in the starting eleven. I thought that he will play with his best eleven, but this make me doubts. Roma is on hot run since their talisman Francesco Totti came back from injury. They had scored 15 goals in their last five matches and honestly, now I am afraid of opposing them. Surely will be better to look on an over alternative, because it is only one match and whether one team take the lead, the other must open the play and look for their equaliser. If there is a goal in the first half, I am quite sure that we will see at least two more...
