Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After sharing the spoils with Sassuolo on Wednesday evening, Roma will look to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they host Torino to their Stadio Olimpico on Matchday 15. Tammy Abraham, who scored as a substitute in the 1-1 draw with the Neroverdi, is pushing for a start, while all Lorenzo Pellegrini, Leonardo Spinazzola, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Ebrima Darboe should miss out with injuries for the home team.
Il Toro, on the other hand, have won three of their last four league fixtures, but they face an uphill task against Jose Mourinho’s troops. Torino were beaten by Roma in eleven of their last twelve meetings in “The Eternal City”, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the capital club. As for the away side, Perr Schuurs, Pietro Pellegri, and Ola Aina should miss out with injuries.
