Italian Serie A picks for Roma vs. Juventus
Before you tune in to Sunday’s match, you need to see the Juventus vs. Roma picks from European soccer insider Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge about leagues and players most people don’t know exist, including most oddsmakers. He understands that oddsmakers don’t focus on obscure leagues, so Jon has become obsessed with learning everything possible about smaller leagues. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
For Juventus vs. Roma, Eimer is backing Juventus to win on the 90-minute money line for a +121 payout. Both teams are coming off disappointing results on Thursday, with Juventus drawing 1-1 against a heavily depleted Napoli squad and Roma falling 3-1 to AC Milan and losing a pair of valuable defenders to red cards in the process.
Now, Roma will likely have to alter formations on short rest while dealing with COVID-19 absences and injury issues. That doesn’t bode well against a Juventus squad that still has plenty of talent despite failing to win the Scudetto for the first time in a decade last season and entering Sunday sitting fifth in Serie A.
Juventus has Federico Chiesa back in the lineup after he missed roughly six weeks with a hamstring injury. Chiesa found the back of the net to level the game against Napoli on Thursday. Eimer likes Chiesa to find the back of the net again on Sunday (+250 anytime goal scorer) and believes a Juventus defense that has seven clean sheets in its last nine Serie A matches bottles up Roma.
