The final match in the Italian Serie A before Christmas is a cracker as Juventus welcome Roma to the Allianz Stadium.
This match could have huge consequences for the title race with Juventus starting the weekend in second place and Roma in fourth.
Not only that but the points difference between the top four teams is small, with Napoli top of the table on 42 points, Juventus second with 41, Inter Milan third on 40 and Roma fourth on 38 points. Roma have a game in hand on the teams above them in the table and this makes them serious contenders for the title this season.
If Juventus win this match, they can put some distance between themselves and Roma but if the visitors come out on top, they will be in the driving seat.
