One final big game to close out the calendar year. Ever since the Allianz Stadium opened in the fall of 2011, there has been one very overwhelming trend when Roma makes their way to Turin to face Juventus.

It is a result that very much favors that of Juventus ? which, at least around these parts, we are totally OK with and wholeheartedly support. No matter the managers on each touchline, no matter the starting lineups being used, there?s been one result that has occurred in 10 of the 12 times these two rivals have played at the Allianz.
Juventus wins.
Some scores have been close. Others have not been close at all. The only time Juve has lost to Roma at the Allianz Stadium came in the summer of 2020 post-lockdown when there weren?t any fans in the stadium. The only draw in the last 12 meetings between these two came last season as Max Allegri?s squad endured an incredibly frustrating start to the 2022-23 campaign. So, with all of that being said, we?re about to find out what meeting No. 13 between Juve and Roma at Allianz Stadium has in store.
The final game of the 2023 calendar year for Allegri and company very much as a big game kind of feel to it even if Roma are currently yo-yo-ing around the Serie A table like it?s some kind of fun activity. It might not be all that fun for Roma supporters, sure, but their favorite team enters tonight?s game just on the outs...
