Torino vs Roma Prediction

Torino will head into the encounter as the underdogs. Longo's side have been dependent on star player Andrea Belotti's goals the entire season, and the Italy international has delivered. If Torino expect to get anything out of this match, Belotti will have to be at his very best.

Roma are the form team in Italy at the moment. They have not lost any of their last six games, having won four and drawn two. While they may have some injury concerns, the presence of the likes of Dzeko and Mkhitaryan should be enough to help them win against Torino.

Prediction: Torino 0:2 Roma
