Roma will welcome Torino on matchday in a bid to save get their campaign in order and push for the top spots. There is no margin for error here as there have been wrong steps for the Giallorossi thus far. But Torino is not a team that will go down easy, especially after solidifying themselves in the upper mid-table.
AS Roma Team News
In one of the more peculiar fixtures in this round, Roma boss Ivan Jurić will face his former team, Torino in an attempt to get things going in the right direction. The dismal start of the Giallorossi is more than apparent – 10 points after 9 matchdays and currently sitting at 12th. Moreover, there has been a managerial change already at Roma, but it has not yielded the desired results. The team is currently without a win in any of their last 3 league fixtures and sits closer to the relegation zone as opposed to the top 4. Roma are inconsistent even as hosts as they have 2 wins and 2 losses thus far in the season in the Serie A.
Torino Team News
Torino will travel to the capital of Italy relieved to have won their last league fixture, as the team were in a 3-game losing streak before that. However, the team’s travels have been alarming – 2 losses in the last 2 away league fixtures and a total of 8 goals conceded from the last 3 trips. This further solidifies the notion that Torino is predominantly a home team, one that relies on grinding out wins as hosts, and in Torino’s case in low-scoring matches. This was the general take on the team’s performance during last season and there were glimpses of that in this one as well. Torino also boasts the joint-worst defensive record from the top 12 Serie A teams, which also includes their opponents, Roma.
Head-to-Head-Games
The Giallorossi have a favourable H2H record against Torino, as they have not suffered a loss in any of the last 5 games against them while securing 3 wins in the process. As hosts, Roma have won 3 of their last 4 encounters with Torino as well and have just 1 loss in their last 9 matches against Torino.

AS Roma – Torino Betting Prediction
My puck here is for Roma to win. Their H2H statistics against Torino are more than favourable, especially as hosts. Torino is also a team that has been experiencing major issues on their travels, all while conceding a ton of goals in their last 3 such matches. Roma boss Ivan Jurić also knows Torino very well, as he used to lead that team up until several weeks ago. Moreover, he is already under severe pressure at Roma to deliver results and a home win against his former club could be what finally unleashes the potential this Roma team has.
