Roma vs Torino

, KO: 19:45 Oct 31, 2024, Stadio Olimpico
Torino

Roma may have buried their season last Sunday when they crashed against Fiorentina. But they may also be in luck as Torino are in a similar position.

A little over a month after accepting the Roma job, Ivan Juric is already under pressure. Winning just one match in the last five in all competitions, he will have to bounce back from Roma's biggest defeat in years against his old team.

This match will decide his fate as there are clear indications that Roma's owners are looking for better candidates. However, as the man who lost to Roma on multiple occasions in recent years while being Torino's manager, he should know how to beat them and save his job.

The visitors finally ended their losing streak with a humble 1-0 over Como and will be motivated to continue their uprising against the struggling Roma.

Despite the series of defeats, Torino's attack has displayed crazy effectiveness, scoring six goals across the three recent defeats to Cagliari, Inter, and Lazio. A win would put them right behind the Top 4 group.

How the bookies view it: Are they wrong?

The Yellow and Reds have a considerable advantage in odds ahead of this fixture. Betano gave them 7/10 to win the mid-week game, while Torino sit with 21/5 to force the upset. You can opt for the draw at 11/4.

Recent head to head: Not a good look for Ivan Juric

There have been a couple of draws and an occasional upset, but Roma have had the upper hand against Torino in recent years. The team from the Eternal City won six of the last ten H2Hs and the interesting part is that four of those wins happened while Ivan Juric was Torino's manager.

Players to watch: Dovbyk has to step up

Roma have hardly been exciting this season and remain one of the lowest-scoring sides in the league. However, Artem Dovbyk remains a constant threat in the final third and should welcome the sight of Torino's non-existent defence. He scored the winning goal against Dynamo Kiev last week at Olimpico. Will he go back-to-back?

Probable line-ups

Roma: Svilar, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino, Celik, Kone, Cristante, Zalewski, Dybala, Pellegrini, Dovbyk

Torino: Milinkovic-Savic, Walukiewicz, Maripan, Coco, Lazaro, Ricci, Vlasic, Linetty, Masina, Adams, Sanabria

Anything else catch the eye?

While Roma have been one of the most conservative teams in terms of scoring, Il Toro have been one of the most exciting teams to watch away from home. Four of their five away games ended with a minimum of four goals, with the last three being 3-2. That was the result of the last H2H too.

While these teams have rarely produced significant scorelines in recent times, this feels like a guaranteed spectacle. Roma are in desperate need for points while Torino have proven they don't care who's on the other side of the pitch. They will score at least once here to complete the BTTS.
