AS Roma vs Torino prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-10-30 19:45.
[p]Roma’s dismal start to the Serie A season hit a new low on Sunday night as they were demolished 5-1 by Fiorentina. That performance was described as “unacceptable” by captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, and with the Giallorossi languishing in the bottom-half of Serie A having failed to win their last three league games (D1, L2), an urgent response is required. [/p]
[p]New boss Ivan Jurić – who only left upcoming opponents Torino in the summer – already finds himself under pressure, so he’ll hope he can build on Roma’s impressive recent H2H form, losing just one of the last nine meetings (W6, D2). Any failure to do so could see Roma tumble further down the table – they already sit closer to the relegation zone than the top-six – but alarmingly, Jurić has won just one of his managerial H2Hs against this opponent (D4, L2).[/p]
[p]Torino arrive in the capital relieved after ending a three-match losing streak by beating newly-promoted Como 1-0 on Friday. That victory was welcomed by manager Paolo Vanoli who described it as “full of character and typical of Torino” whilst picking out the defence and Chilean centre-half Guillermo Maripán for particular praise.[/p]
[p]He’ll hope that solidity can transfer to the road where Torino have conceded eight times in their last three such fixtures (W1, L2) – including a pair of 3-2 defeats to Inter and Cagliari. Another shutout appears unlikely given that seven of the last ten H2Hs on this ground saw both teams score, with Torino emerging victorious just twice in that sequence (D1, L7).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Paulo Dybala scored a hat-trick in last season’s corresponding fixture, and he is yet to lose a H2H against Torino across his career (W13, D8). Nikola Vlašić has directly contributed to a goal in each of Torino’s last two away matches (G1, A1), but comes into this game still searching for his first career victory against Roma (D2, L4).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: There have been exactly five match goals in each of Torino’s last three away games.[/p]
