Match Details
Date: October 31, 2024
Kickoff Time: 20:45 CET / 12:44 PT
Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy
Match Preview: AS Roma vs Torino
AS Roma returns home following their heavy defeat at the hands of Fiorentina 5-1, which has put more pressure on newly appointed manager Ivan Juric. Roma currently sits 11th in the Serie A standings with only three wins in 12 games this season and leaked several goals to their back. The team badly needs a good show in order to turn their current slump, having picked up just one point in their last three league outings.
Meanwhile, Torino go to Rome on the back of a much-needed 1-0 win over Como that ended a worrying four-game losing streak. Torino sit 9th, four points ahead of Roma, and are keen to keep its spot in the top half of the table. High-scoring away matches being their niché this season, Torino will be determined to exploit Roma’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Betting Tips and Odds
Both AS Roma and Torino are poor at the back, so a BTTS bet looks reasonable. Torino’s recent away games have seen plenty of action – in four of their last five on the road, both teams scored and over 3.5 goals were seen. Roma’s need to bounce back from disappointments recently also leans towards an open game with scoring chances at both ends.

Team News:
AS Roma
After the defeat last weekend, Roma will be making a few changes in their lineup to shore up their defense. Mario Hermoso will be out due to his red card against Fiorentina. Midfielders such as Matias Soulé and Alexis Saelemaekers are out due to injuries. Paulo Dybala may also find himself on the bench after his underrated performance last weekend.
Torino
Torino coach Paulo Vanoli will also try to work his way around several absentees. The presence of main players Emirhan İlkhan, Perr Schuurs, Borna Sosa, Duván Zapata, and Ivan Ilić is not on the pitch to play a role, and therefore diminishes Torino’s alternatives particularly in the backline. However, Che Adams and Antonio Sanabria are going to spearhead the attack for the team, and therefore cause some issues to the Roma defense.
