A thrilling matchup between Roma and Juventus in the Serie A Week 31 on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium in Rome, Italy. Each team walked away with a point from their direct matchup. Juventus, now at 56 points, retains a three-point lead over Roma, who have 53. Additionally, Juve is closing in on Atalanta, currently at 58 points. The Bianconeri took the lead in the first half thanks to a volley from Locatelli, but shortly after the second half began, Shomorudov, the new signing, equalized from a corner kick. The second half was marked by a lack of excitement, as both teams held their ground until the final whistle.
Both teams have ended their last two league encounters in draws, marking a notable trend; the last time they experienced such a streak in Serie A was between December 1983 and March 1985, when they had four consecutive draws.
Their most recent clash ended in a 0-0 stalemate on September 1. If they draw again, it would be the first time since the 2000/01 season that both matches between them in a single season ended in draws. Juventus has been dominant in their recent encounters with Roma, remaining unbeaten in eight of their last nine league matches against them (with four wins and four draws).
The only victory for the Giallorossi during this stretch came on March 5, 2023, when they won 1-0 at the Olimpico, thanks to a goal from Gianluca Mancini.
The game …
Juventus gained the upper hand in the 40th minute when Manuel Locatelli found the back of the net with a stunning left-footed shot into the bottom left corner. After a cross from the right by Kalulu, Celik attempted to clear it with a header, but Locatelli was perfectly positioned at the edge of the box. He struck the ball brilliantly on the fly, sending it past goalkeeper Mile Svilar! The Olimpico fell silent as Juve celebrated their lead!

Roma leveled the score in the 49th minute when Eldor Shomurodov found the net with a left-footed shot into the top right corner, capitalizing on a corner given away by Pierre Kalulu. N’Dicka made a perfect run on Soulè’s corner, and although goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio managed to dive and save, he was powerless to stop Shomurodov’s follow-up tap-in!
