Torino (home)
- Torino have three points and sit 13th.
- Ignazio Abate's Torino appear to be a pragmatic set-up, but one with some awareness of the transition play, which could make for some interesting clashes on the wings and in the half-spaces.
- After being knocked out of the cup by Monza at home and then grabbing a 2-1 victory away to Fiorentina in Serie A, Torino enter this one in mixed form, winning two and losing three of their five games in all competitions.
AS Roma (away)
- AS Roma are the Serie A 2026/2027 front-runners with nine points from three games.
- Roma are unbeaten in four of their last five matches in all competitions, currently on a three-game winning streak.
- Their 3-4-2-1 system is an extremely high-tempo system, but the width created by the wing-backs and the pressing game is designed to be a nightmare for teams.
- In theory, this will be Roma's speed of play against Torino's ability to sit back and counterattack.
Head-to-Head
- Head-to-head, Torino have a slight edge over the last three, winning twice and losing once, but Roma won the last meeting between the two 2-0 away from home in Serie A 2025/2026.
- Torino have failed to win either of their previous two home games against Roma, so the Giallorossi will have a mental edge in this matchup.
Key Players
- Donyell Malen has been Roma's chief finisher in Serie A 2026/2027, scoring five goals in three league games.
- Paulo Dybala has four assists in the same amount of games to ensure that the attack keeps running.
- Che Adams leads the goalscoring charts for Torino in 2026/2027 Serie A with two goals in three, so he looks the best pick to nick a goal at some point in this game.
Betting Insights
- AS Roma have been brutal on the road in Serie A 2026/2027.
- They've won their only game, they've scored 4.0 goals per-game and conceded zero goals, so this won't be an easy game for Torino.
- The odds heavily favor Roma at 1.56, but Torino are 6.0 and the draw is 3.8.
- A smart alternative market is Roma to win with both teams not to score, given the visitors' solid defensive record and the fact that Torino have scored one and conceded two goals per-game at home, across their only home game this season.
Prediction
Roma should be the more likely winners and we're happy to stay on the side of the favorites, though the draw does hold appeal, in this tough Serie A game.
