Roma had absolutely no problems in their home match for the Coppa Italia and easily moved on to the next round. The same can’t be said for their upcoming opponents, Torino, who were eliminated by Fiorentina. The match is set to be played on Saturday, and Roma should be really careful here.

Roma (8-5-6) are coming off a great 0-4 win at home against Entella in the Coppa Italia, which was actually their third consecutive win in all competitions. They have won four of their last five matches in all competitions but have kept clean sheets just in their last two. Roma are now sitting at the 6th spot of the league table with 30 points, one ahead of Sampdoria and one behind AC Milan. They have also been pretty solid at home so far (5-1-3), where they have lost just once in their last seven matches in all competitions (5-1-1).
Torino (6-4-9) were really bad in their Coppa Italia match at home against Fiorentina, where they failed to record a single shot on target and eventually lost by 2-0. In their last match for the Serie A they split the points in a 1-1 draw on the road against Lazio. They have not been very solid lately, winning just once in their last six matches in all competitions (1-2-3). Torino are sitting at the 9th spot of the league table with 27 points, three behind Roma. Oddly enough, Torino are undefeated on the road so far in the league (2-0-8), having four consecutive draws in their last four.

Roma beat Torino by a slim 1-0 on the road in the first round of the season and also won both league matches last season. Roma have been excellent as hosts against Torino over the years (12-2-0) but this could be a tricky task. I will go with Torino to cover the spread on this one.
