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.
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.
DEL PIERO vs TOTTI
From his very first Roma-Juventus, Alessandro Del Piero shared centre stage with home icon Francesco Totti.
In the match in 1995, the Juventus player was on the pitch from the start, while the Giallorossi came off the bench. From the many head-to-heads, Alex struck in 2005, when Juve emerged 2-1 victors.
ZIZOU SHINES ON
He might not have worn the number 10 shirt, still the property of Del Piero, but there is no doubting his role as 'fantasista. Zidane also lit up matches at the Olimpico with his class. He resolving one such fixture, on 17 October 1999, with a master class in free-kick taking.
ALL-ITALIAN CHALLENGE
Roma-Juventus was also a duel between teammates at international level. In the photo, Andrea Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi clash in season 2012-13.
Observing everything is Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, who the following year would move to Turin and decide the match at the Olimpico in the last minute.
