Juventus travel to the capital to take on Roma on Sunday, March 5.

Matches at the Roman home have often been hard fought and evenly balanced. The Giallorossi edge the showdown with 32 wins, 29 draws to the 27 Bianconeri successes.

Among the great stars that have shone at the Olimpico, Juve's number 10, either in number or "fact" has often played a key role. One such number 10 was Michel Platini.

Baggio Roma-Juve

ROBY'S BRACE

Roberto Baggio scored at the Olimpico in the match between Roma and Juventus for two years in a row.

If the second was easily forgettable for the Bianconeri world due to a defeat, the one from 1991-92 instead carried a certain weight because it allowed Juve to draw 1-1.

The number 10 took advantage of an assist from Paolo Di Canio, who had just come on as a sub, and delivered a cross from the left that Baggio volleyed into the net.
