Roma’s Tactical Shift Ahead of Match Against Juventus

AS Roma will face Juventus in a highly anticipated match at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on September 1, 2024. This game marks a significant moment in the season for both teams as they showcase their latest squad changes.

Daniele De Rossi, Roma’s head coach, addressed the media regarding the team’s tactical approach. He emphasized the fluidity of the formation, which could shift from a 4-3-2-1 to a 3-5-2 based on the dynamics of the game. The adaptability of the formation is crucial, especially with Chris Smalling’s impending departure and Mario Hermoso‘s status as an unconfirmed signing.

The latest projections suggest the team may adopt a 3-5-2 strategy, featuring Angeliño as the third center-back, alongside Gianluca Mancini and Evan Ndicka. The inclusion of new signing Alexis Saelemaekers on the left wing further highlights Roma’s intent to reinforce their offensive capabilities.

In central midfield, the traditional trio of Lorenzo Pellegrini, Leandro Paredes, and Bryan Cristante remains likely starters, although Manu Koné’s potential debut could alter this lineup. Paulo Dybala and Artem Dovbyk are expected to lead the attack, pushing Matías Soulé to the bench.

With the match set to kick off at 8:45 p.m. local time, fans are eager to see how Roma’s tactical changes will play out against a strong Juventus side.
