Roma versus Juventus on Sunday is a match that could have serious ramifications in the battle to qualify for the Champions League.
At the moment, the capital club are in fifth, four points adrift of Bologna in fourth with four games to go, while Juve are positioned in third.
Current Form
Roma's current form
Roma are still fighting on multiple fronts this season, though they face a massive task to reach the final of the Europa League, as Leverkusen won 2-0 in the first leg of the semi-final at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.
Domestically, the home side have been good under now-permanent boss Daniele De Rossi as they have lost just one game out of their last 10 in Serie A, but that crucially came against Champions League qualification rivals Bologna.
Last time out, they earned a 2-2 draw away at Napoli.
Juventus' current form
Juve have been reliant on their form earlier in the season to retain their spot in the top four as they have been poor recently, with just one victory to their name in eight matches.
Since the beginning of March, they have drawn five times, far too much for a team of their stature.
They haven't been particularly effervescent going forward this season despite being in third.
