Match Prediction: Roma vs. Torino
The Romans have been winning frequently lately, but they cannot boast of an effective attacking game. Even at home, Roma does not score much: in their last six home Serie A matches, the players have only managed to score more than once on one occasion. Meanwhile, Roma displays solid defensive play: in their last 13 home league matches, they have conceded a maximum of one goal and kept seven clean sheets in this period.
Torino has yet to score in this Serie A campaign and generally struggles in attack, especially in away games. In their last five away league matches, the club has scored just one goal. At the same time, Torino can be defensively sound: in their last 13 away Serie A matches, they have only allowed their opponents to score more than one goal on five occasions.
I expect this to be a low-scoring match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
