Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After cruising past Frosinone (3-0) at Stadio Benito Stirpe, AS Roma will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Torino in “the Eternal City”. The Romans have been making progress week by week ever since Daniele De Rossi took over the reins and they are surely capable of beating Il Toro at Stadio Olimpico. Forward Tammy Abraham remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, recorded a routine 2-0 win over Lecce in front of home fans at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the in-form capital club. You should bear in mind that Roma emerged triumphant in three of the previous five meetings with Torino, who head into Monday’s clash without Perr Schuurs, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Alessandro Buongiorno.
