Juventus are set to welcome Roma on Saturday for an encounter that could set the early pace for either side in the Serie A title race.
There is not much of a difference in terms of points between the two clubs right now with the 2022-23 season having just begun, but Massimiliano Allegri's side have a little bit of catching up to do after Monday's goalless draw with Sampdoria while Roma have earned maximum points from their opening two games.
The home team will have limited sting without summer signings Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba available but will be hoping that Dusan Vlahovic can deliver after the Serbian's brace in Juve's 3-0 win over Sassuolo in their season opener.
On the other hand, Jose Mourinho's men are flying high after solitary goal wins over Salernitana and Cremonese with Paulo Dybala looking to have settled in well with his new surroundings.

Juventus squad and team news
Good news for Allegri comes in the form of Leonardo Bonucci and Wojciech Szczesny who are believed to be available for Saturday's tie, though Juventus will have to do without Di Maria, Pogba and Federico Chiesa.
Fabio Miretti impressed coming off the bench in the Sampdoria draw and may be given a nod with one of Weston McKennie and Adrien Rabiot set to sacrifice their starting berth.
The shuffle in the middle will be intended to allow Dusan Vlahovic with a little more service up front.
Juventus possible XI: Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, Bremer, Sandro; Miretti, Locatelli, Rabiot; Cuadrado, Vlahovic, Kostic
Position | Players |
|---|---|
Goalkeepers | Szcesny, Pinsoglio, Perin |
Defenders | De Sciglio, Bremer, Danilo, Sandro, Gatti, Bonucci, Rugani |
Midfielders | Locatelli, McKennie, Pogba, Cuadrado, Rovella, Kostic, Miretti, Rabiot, Zakaria, Arthur |
Forwards | Chiesa, Vlahovic, Milik, Kean, Jorge, Di Maria, Soule Malvano, Ake |
Roma squad and team news
Paulo Dybala is set to return to his old stomping ground where he scored 15 goals to be the top goalscorer in all competitions last season in Turin. With Tammy Abraham to partner the 10th highest scorer for Juventus, the hosts will be up for a challenge.
A few changes are inevitable as Nicolo Zaniolo has dislocated his shoulder while Geroginio Wijnaldum is already sidelined with a broken leg, forcing Lorenzo Pellegrini to play a little more offensive role if required.
Roma possible XI: Patricio; Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Matic, Cristante, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, Dybala; Abraham
Position | Players |
|---|---|
Goalkeepers | Dos Santos Patricio, Boer, Svilar |
Defenders | Karsdorp, Ibanez Da Silva, Vina, Smalling, Calafiori, Celik, Mancini, Kumbulla, Spinazzola, Tripi |
Midfielders | Cristante, Pellegrini, Matic, Zaniolo, Wijnaldum, Diawara, Bove, Darboe |
Forwards | Abraham, Shomurodov, Dybala, Zalewski, Afena-Gyan, El Shaarawy |
