Torino vs AS Roma — Tips & Analysis

AS Roma -0.75: Roma have started the season as well as anyone, and that is the case here. They have won all three league games, beating Lecce 4-0, Fiorentina 4-0 and Atalanta 2-1. They have scored ten goals and let in one in those games, and they sit 2nd. Over their last 15 games they have won 10 and lost 3, and they score just over 2 goals a game. They have also won by 2 or more goals in 7 of those 15, so big wins are a habit, not a fluke. Torino are not in that class. They have won 6, tied 3 and lost 7 of their last 16, and they score just over a goal a game. They let in just as many. Their 2-1 win at Fiorentina flattered them and they sit 14th, with Franco Israel and Pietro Pellegri both out. History is one sided too. Roma have won 13 of the last 20 games between them. Torino have had nine days to get ready, so expect them to sit deep, land a goal and make the second half uncomfortable. A 1-2 to Roma is the read, and a one goal win is the likeliest version of it. The warning is the schedule. Roma played a Champions League game away at Fenerbahce four days ago, and Gasperini may freshen his team up. Torino have also beaten Roma twice in the last five meetings. We still trust Roma's quality to decide this one.
