Ivan Juric made a great start to his tenure as Roma head coach, defeating surprise league leaders Udinese 3-0 in his debut match. This season, the capital team is distinguished by a very solid defense, which could be noticed under Daniel De Rossi (only 0.6 goals from opponents on average). Juric became famous at Torino for building an effective defensive model, so the trend of low goals conceded under him will obviously be maintained.
In the previous round of Serie A, Venezia got their first win of the season, beating Genoa at home. Eusebio Di Francesco uses the unchanged scheme with three central defenders, but its meaning can change. Venezia can stifle their opponents with high pressing or defend with a low block, which is the model the team usually uses away from home.
