As these predictions for Roma vs. Torino run the rule over both teams in advance of Sunday’s matchup, Jose Mourinho will be hoping that his team can avoid getting injured for one more game.
Roma vs. Torino odds
- Roma to win – 4/5
- Under 2.5 goals scored – 8/11
- Both teams not to score – 4/5
- Roma to score under 1.5 goals – 8/11
- Nicolò Zaniolo to score at any time – 11/4
As a rule, games involving teams coached by Mourinho are known for having few goals scored, and that has been the case for Roma so far this season. The Giallorossi have scored the fewest goals of any team in the top half of the table, with the exception of Torino, so this matchup might turn out to be relatively scoreless.
Tammy Abraham has not been anywhere near the threat he was for Roma last season, and even Mourinho appears to have begun to get annoyed by the return of the English striker now. After the break for the World Cup, this could turn out to be problematic for Abraham.
Nicola Zaniolo, despite receiving some criticism in the past, has been a significant contributor to Roma’s success so far this season. The international player from Italy has a good chance of finding the back of the net on Sunday and scoring the game-winning goal.
If Andrea Belotti gets the chance to play this weekend, Torino will relish the opportunity to test themselves against a player who was once considered their talisman. However, the Granata have had trouble finding a suitable replacement for him in the forward position this season.
After going winless for five games in a row, the club fell further and further down the standings, but as of late, things seemed to be getting back on track. Torino’s victories over Udinese and Milan gave rise to the possibility that the club could mount a challenge for a position in Europe. However, the loss to Bologna was a significant setback.
Now it is up to Ivan Juri to motivate his team for one final match before the start of the new year and keep this club in a strong position heading into the second half of the season. However, obtaining anything at the Stadio Olimpico will prove to be a challenging endeavor.

News about the Roma team
Even though Mourinho has finally publicly chastised Abraham’s performances, the striker is unlikely to be rested for the final game of the season. Belotti, on the other hand, will be looking forward to the opportunity to face his former club. Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, on the other hand, is expected to be replaced by youngster Cristian Volpato.
Torino team updates
Ivan Juri shouldn’t have any new injury concerns for this trip to the capital city, though he may still go up front with Karamoh if Pellegri is ruled out. However, he will almost certainly rely on his defensive players at the Stadio Olimpico.
