One of the final matches to be played on Wednesday night in the Italian Serie A is between Torino and Roma at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
The hosts begin the game in 16th place but are now safe from relegation while the visitors are in 5th and are all but guaranteed a place in the Europa League next season.
Torino come into the match having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at SPAL last time out. It was a game they were hoping to win against a team who have already been relegated but Torino were forced to settle for a point thanks to a 79th minute equaliser for the hosts. That result means Torino have one only 2 of that last 9 Serie A matches and have failed to win any of their 3 most recent games.
Torino have been struggling to win games for some time and they have managed to win only 3 of their last 18 matches in all competitions. All 3 of those wins have come at home with the most recent being a 3-0 victory against Genoa.
Trends show Torino have been struggling to keep clean sheets and both teams have scored in 7 of their last 9 Serie A matches. The 7 goals conceded at home against Atalanta at the end of January was a particular low point and Torino have conceded an average of 1.50 goals in their home league games.
Roma make the trip to Turin having defeated Fiorentina 2-1 at home in their previous Serie A match. That was their second successive victory in the League following the tremendous 6-1 thrashing of relegated SPAL away from home. Roma are currently on a run of 6 matches without defeat including wins over Parma, Hellas Verona, and Fiorentina at home plus Brescia and SPAL away. The only dropped points came in a 2-2 draw at home against Inter Milan.
Away form shows Roma have won each of their last 2 matches but only 3 of their last 7 on the road. There have been defeats at Sassuolo, Atalanta, AC Milan, and Napoli.
Trends show Roma have been involved in some very entertaining games away from home. They have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 away league matches plus both teams have scored in 7 of those 9 games.
Team news and Torino will be without suspended midfielder Tomas Rincon plus the injured duo of Daniele Baselli and Lorenzo De Silvestri.
Roma travel with a long injury list. Antonio Mirante, Cengiz Ünder, Davide Santon, Juan Jesus, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Ibanez are unlikely to play any part in the match.
It would be extremely surprising not to see both teams score and over 2.5 goals in this game. In terms of a winner, Roma have the edge and should come away with maximum points.
