Torino vs AS Roma prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2023-04-07 16:30.
After failing to win at Sassuolo (1-1), Torino have seen their faint hopes of qualifying for Europe hurt by a two-match winless run (D1, L1) that left them ten points adrift of Serie Aâs (SA) top six ahead of this round. Boss Ivan JuriÄ will be looking to get them back on the right track for the visit of Roma, and he remains confident his side âcan do well, with the team expressing its best qualities in front of the home crowdâ.
This is a fixture theyâve certainly enjoyed hosting down the years (W37, D28, L16), while Torino have lost just two of their last eight SA home matches (W4, D2). Continuing that run may depend on finding more potency in front of goal, as Il Toro (11 goals) have outscored only Sampdoria and Cremonese on their own turf this term.
Roma suffer from similar issues, netting the fewest amount of goals (38) of all top seven clubs. Regardless, JosĂ© Mourinhoâs men continued their quest to finish inside the UEFA Champions League places with a 3-0 win over Sampdoria that left their manager âsatisfiedâ, as his side moved level on points with fourth-placed Inter ahead of this round.
One thing thatâs bound to be bugging Mourinho is his sideâs away form, as the Giallorossi have failed to win any of their last six away matches in all competitions (D2, L4). Four of those games occurred in league competition, leaving Roma on the brink of a five-match winless streak on the road in SA for the first time since the end of the 2020/21 season.
Players to watch: Torino striker Antonio Sanabria will be looking to find his shooting boots on home soil, as seven of his eight SA strikes this term have arrived on the road. Heâll be fighting for the limelight with Paulo Dybala, who remains unbeaten across 18 personal H2H meetings against Torino (W11, D7).
Hot stat: Torinoâs home games produce fewer goals than those involving any other single side in the division, with just 23 being scored in their 13 such matches this season.
