AS Roma vs Torino Prediction 14.09.2025 | Serie A

Under Ranieri’s guidance, Roma produced a near-sensational run in the latter half of last season, amassing 49 points from 19 outings – more than any other side – but even that remarkable surge fell short as the capital club missed out on Champions League qualification by a single point.

With Ranieri’s short-lived return from retirement bringing temporary stability before his departure last season, Roma have now appointed Gian Piero Gasperini as head coach, entrusting the maestro with the mission of guiding the Giallorossi back to the summit of Italian football.

Roma fans have plenty to be optimistic about after Gasperini guided the side to a max six points from the opening Serie A fixtures, with the Giallorossi narrowly defeating Bologna 1-0 on matchday one before grinding out another solitary-goal victory over the newly promoted side Pisa.

Jamaican winger Leon Bailey, who joined Roma on loan from Aston Villa, has yet to make his debut as he continues to deal with hamstring issues, while Wesley Fofana’s availability is still uncertain due to a muscle injury.

Accustomed to swimming around mid-table for years, Torino once again followed that familiar pattern last season, finishing 11th with 44 points – a tally notably lower than in any of their previous three Serie A campaigns.

In a bid to propel the club into the upper reaches of the table and establish them as genuine contenders for European qualification, the hierarchy turned to Marco Baroni over the summer, entrusting the seasoned 62-year-old with the task of lifting the Turin outfit to greater heights.

Unfortunately,, Baroni’s Serie A tenure got off to an underwhelming start, with his side first suffering a humbling five-goal drubbing at the hands of Inter Milan on opening day, before salvaging some pride in matchday two with a goalless stalemate against Fiorentina.

Centre-back Perr Schuurs has been sidelined for nearly two years with a serious knee injury, and his return date is still uncertain, while Ardian Ismajli has been cleared to feature against AS Roma after recovering from a thigh problem.
