Roma at Juventus

[soccerbob]

I like this game over 2 1/2 quite a bit. I think Roma have an improved team this year. The acquisition of Christian Chivu gives them stability at the back but he can also add to an already potent offense. The whole key to Roma's season is keeping Totti healthy. He is such an exciting player and can score anytime he's near the ball. It's so tough to break into the top three in Serie A but I feel Roma are clearly the fourth best team in the league and will have a good year.

Juventus scored a midweek Champion's League win while not playing especially well. They always score at home but I like Roma to give them all they can handle and each team will find the net often in a high scoring game.

Takes guts to bet the over in any Italian game (especially when 2 teams are more or less equal)...

good luck

Jack- I like your choice there. If I were going to play a side in Italy on Sunday, it would be Roma but I like the total so much, I'll stick with that.

A2345- I usually don't play too many totals in Italy but I get the feeling that Roma are going to be good for quite a few overs this year. They have a really good offense and will put in a good number of goals while getting caught on the counter attack and then give up some goals of their own. That's always a nice recipe for the "over".
