AS Roma v Torino Team News

Last season 6^th place finish for Roma was seemingly not good enough for the Claudio Ranieri-led side. Roma are currently well inside the Champions League bracket, 4 points ahead of Atalanta.

They mean it Roma. A 4-1 win over Fiorentina on the road does not lay it all. Roma have only lost once in 8 home matches (W5 D2 L1) and are quite on the offensive lately.

In their most recent 7 games, Roma have won five and drawn twice and they have scored more than 2 goals in those wins not forgetting the fact that over half of Roma’s 17 games this season have produced over 2.5 goals. Should Bosnian big-man and potent forward Edin Dzeko be at his meanest, Roma could well enter 2020 with a resounding win.

Torino walk into Stadio Olimpico on the back of a surprise and tasteless 2-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened SPAL, a result which saw them drop further down in a very tight mid-table battle with little between sides.

It has been a season of mixed fortunes for Walter Mazzari’s boys. Two consecutive games without a win looks like a replay of a 6 game winless run earlier in the season. This could be their third should they lose. Torino’s away form is equally deflating 8 games later (W3 D1 L4) and dropping points here will impact negatively on their table ranking.

The visitors will definitely go for glory fancying an upset but hearts content on a draw. The hosts will not let that happen. It should be an entertaining Italian duel to watch; full of innate passion.

Injured or Suspended Players:

The home side will miss out on the services of midfielder Cristante B.(Groin Injury) and Chelsea loanee Zappacosta D.(Knee Injury).

The away side will see both Ansaldi C. and Bremer out serving suspensions while midfielder Baselli D. will watch from the sidelines plagued by a knee injury.

AS Roma vs Torino Predictions

Roma once overturned a 3-0 Barcelona first-leg lead here. That was in the Champions League and even in domestic action, the Stadio Olimpico is always a tricky venue. Big names have fallen here and Torino are likely to pile up on the list of casualties. Expect a high-energy encounter with both sides seeking glory though Roma should get it all. Very likely with several goals past the visitors.
