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. After an abysmal start to the season that saw them take just two points from their first four league matches, Juventus has been playing much better over the last several months thanks in large part to its defensive solidity.

"In its last nine league matches, Juventus have only conceded two goals. One goal to Napoli and one goal to Venezia in November," Eimer told SportsLine. "Juventus now has seven clean sheets in nine matches, including against offensive titans like Lazio and Fiorentina. They have become more known of late for grabbing an early lead, then parking the bus as much as possible."

Juventus is now on a six-match unbeaten streak where it has collected four wins and two draws and that back four should be focused on stopping Tammy Abraham. Meanwhile, even with some injury and COVID concerns of its own, Juventus should have enough attacking prowess to take advantage of a Roma defense that will be significantly altered by a pair of suspensions.
