Torino v Roma Team News

Torino’s success in this home fixture last season is their only victory vs Roma since a Coppa Italia 1st leg win back in 2007/08.

Last season, only Napoli and Juventus managed to take 3 points off Torino at their own ground.

Torino have had a whole week to prepare for this game compared to the visitors who faced Chelsea on Wednesday, although Roma responded well in the 2 previous rounds after midweek Champions League duties with resounding wins vs Verona and Milan.

With this being a feisty contest in the past (73 yellow cards and 5 reds in the last 13 games) and several penalties given, the referee could once again be at the centre of attention. In fact, 4 of the last 5 games have seen a penalty awarded.

Last season, only Napoli gained more points and scored more goals on the road than Roma, with Juventus the only team to concede fewer goals.
Roma have scored the 1st goal in 5 of their last 6 games overall and in 8 out of 10 vs Torino.

Teams' Possible Starting Lineups:

Torino: Sirigu - Molinaro, Moretti, Nkoulou, Silvestri - Rincon, Baselli - Niang, Ljajic, Falque - Sadiq (4-2-3-1 formation)
