Key Betting Tips: Roma to Win at 1.44 odds on Kwiff represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our algorithm.
Roma Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Mile Svilar; Evan N’Dicka, Gianluca Mancini, Mario Hermoso; Angelino, Kouadio Koné, Bryan Cristante, Wesley; Stephan El Shaarawy, Matias Soulé; Evan Ferguson.
It wouldn’t be too surprising to see Gian Piero Gasperini stick with the same XI that has seen the team keep two clean sheets and win both games so far. Aston Villa loanee Leon Bailey remains out with a muscle injury which will keep him out for this match.
Torino Predicted XI (4-3-3): Franco Israel; Cristiano Birgahi, Guilermo Maripan, Saul Coco, Valentino Lazaro; Ivan Ilic, Kristjan Asllani, Cesare Casadei; Nikola Vlasic, Giovanni Simeone, Cyril Ngonge.
Marco Baroni may make one change, by bringing in Lazaro at right-back to replace Marcus Pedersen. Aside from this, he could field a similar side. The Turin outfit will without Perr Schuurs and Zanos Savva for the trip south to Rome.
Gasperini’s tenure in Rome has started perfectly as they prepare for their future fixtures which include the first Rome derby with Lazio next weekend followed by their start to their Europa League campaign. Roma have played and won both of their matches so far, seeing them sit fourth on goal difference.
Meanwhile, following on from their 5-0 thumping by Inter on the opening day, Torino’s point against Fiorentina sees them sit in 19th on goal difference.
Since November 2012, these two sides have taken part in some incredible encounters -27 to be precise! Roma have come out on top, winning two-thirds of these matches, while Torino have won just four, and they haven’t won since 2021 – stretch back a further year to find the last time they beat Roma in their own home.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Roma to Win @ 1.44 - Recent form suggests confidence in a comfortable Roma win. Roma’s successful start looks set to continue on Sunday, with Torino’s early season struggles looking like they may well continue. It is difficult to see the visitors getting a foot hold in the game here, especially with Gasperini’s side looking to click as they navigate through their honeymoon phase under their new coach.
Matias Soulé (AS Roma): Soulé has looked incredible so far in a Roma shirt, already finding his first of the season against Pisa where he played a blinding performance. If he can continues on Sunday, he is sure to get many more chances to add to his tally.
Ivan Ilic (Torino): In a weak squad low on confidence, Ilic has been a bright spark. He is one of the better performers in that Torino side so far, so he will need to be on form again if his side are to click into gear and get something out of this game.
Referee: Giovanni Ayroldi (ITA). He has recently surpassed the 150-match mark in his career, and is not afraid to show his cards. He has handed out an average of 5.16 yellows per match throughout his career so far.
