This Sunday, Serie A’s third matchday will feature Roma hosting Torino at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. A bet on total goals seems promising for this matchup.
Match Preview
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side has started the season strong, winning their first two matches. Roma’s defense is notable, having kept three consecutive clean sheets in Serie A, while their attack shows consistency.
At home, Roma generally perform well, with 11 wins in their last 13 games at the Olimpico. However, they often score only one goal, relying on their solid defense.
On the other hand, Marco Baroni’s Torino is struggling, with seven matches without a win. They have not scored in their last five matches due to issues with creativity and finishing, making them one of the lowest-scoring teams.
The situation is similar for Torino away from home; they have gone four matches without scoring, though their defense shows some organization. Currently, they can keep the score low but are unable to secure wins.
Probable Line-ups
- Roma: Svilar, N’Dicka, Mancini, Hermoso, Rench, Kone, Cristante, Angeliño, El Shaarawy, Ferguson, Soulé
- Torino: Israel, Maripán, Coco, Pedersen, Biraghi, Ilić, Casadei, Vlašić, Asllani, Ngonge, Simeone
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- Roma have won 11 of their last 13 home Serie A matches.
- Torino have not scored in their last five league games.
- In six of the last seven encounters at the Olimpico, no more than two goals have been scored.
Prediction
Considering Roma’s strong defense and Torino’s struggles in scoring, the match is expected to be cautious with limited chances. These teams rarely have high-scoring matches, particularly in Rome, where the home side usually sets the pace. A bet on under 2.5 total goals at odds of 1.87 is advisable.
