Here is the Serie A Preview Week 2  for the 2015 -2016 Italian Serie A Week 2 – Second Round on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 August 2015.  We are looking for an interesting round seeing the big match AS ROMA vs JUVENTUS.  In the past, Juventus  would be leading while Roma trying to catch up.  Surprisingly, last week Juventus started the season with a historic defeat in their own stadium defeated by Udinese.  Now, Juventus, currently, Italy’s Champions will look to redeem themselves and show their dominion against the Roman gladiators.  Question is whether Roma will be a passive team or finally wake up to show Juventus they can beat them too.

 

The top scorer up to Round 1: Sampdoria forward Citadin Eder and Sampdoria Luis Muriel with 2 goals each.
