While Torino are safely in the Serie A midtable, Roma are on the cusp of a UCL return. Although they enter the matchday outside of the top 4, Claudio Ranieri’s men will aim for the 3 points and nothing less. The same cannot be said for the hosts, whose safety in Serie A was secured a long time ago and who have no prospect for European football next season.
Torino Team News
Torino’s survival in Serie A came a fair bit ago, and it could be said that it affected results. With just 2 wins across their last 10 league matches, it isn’t looking very good for the hosts ahead of their last game of the season. Moreover, Torino has lost 4 games and drawn in the remaining 4 of their last 10. One thing remains a constant, however – the low number of goals scored in their games. Only 1 fixture in this period managed to produce over 2.5 goals, with all of Torino’s last 9 Serie A games seeing fewer than 3 goals. That is also translated in the team’s home matches, where none of Torino’s last 5 games as hosts passed the over 2.5 mark. It should be noted, however, that Torino’s performances as hosts are good, with the team losing just 1 of its last 10 fixtures at home.
AS Roma Team News
Roma made a huge step in the direction of a top 4 finish after a 3-1 win over Milan and denying the latter European exposure next season. What remains now for Claudio Ranieri is to win the last game of the season and hope for a favourable outcome elsewhere. Regardless of how the season ends, Ranieri should be credited for stabilising Roma and turning them into a serious contender for the top spots. The team’s atrocious start to the season and the 2 managerial changes before December are a thing of the past. Much like Torino, Roma’s recent games have scarcely produced over 2.5 goals, with their most recent 2 games being the only ones in the team’s last 9 to see at least 3 goals. Only 1 of Roma’s last 5 fixtures on the road produced over 2.5 goals.
Head-to-Head-Games
Roma have been doing well in their meeting with Torino. Claudio Ranieri’s men have won 7 of the last 10 H2H fixtures with The Bulls, with the latter having just 1 win in this period. Five of the games in this sequence produced over 2.5 goals; however, only 1 has managed to do so across the 5 most recent H2H matches between the two.

Torino – AS Roma Betting Prediction
Torino has nothing to play for – their Serie A position is guaranteed, and the team is firmly entrenched in the midtable. For Roma, however, things stand entirely differently. They must chase a win here if they want to keep their UCL hopes alive. So, for this game, somewhat unintuitively, my pick will be for under 2.5 goals. Torino and Roma’s matches in recent months haven’t seen many goals, and the H2H between them is also favouring such an outcome. Despite the occasion, Roma could very well do with just a 0-1 win, and I do not expect Torino to care very much for this game.
