Roma is currently on a three-game winning streak, which will really give them confidence here. However, Roma still needs to win here, to increase their chances of qualifying in the UCL, as they are still at the sixth. Meanwhile Torino won once, and draw twice on their last three matches, and still needing more wins. Torino are currently at the 10th of the league table with 36 points form their 25 matches. The meeting between these two teams is on February 27, 2024, at 1:30 AM (GMT+8).
AS Roma
Roma secured their spot in the last 16 of the Europa League after a 1-1 draw in Rotterdam against Arne Slot’s Feyenoord. The Italian side scored through Santiago Gimenez, but Lorenzo Pellegrini saved penalties for the hosts. Roma have won all of their last five Serie A fixtures, leaving them sixth in the top-flight standings. They have made their Stadio Olimpico base a fortress this season, with 27 of their 41 Serie A points arriving in front of their home supporters. AS Roma, on the other hand, are currently in sixth place in the league table and have not been at their best in recent months. The Giallorossi defeated Feyenoord on penalties in their previous game and will aim to improve their performance this week.
Roma is without former Chelsea and Aston Villa striker Tammy Abraham due to a cruciate ligament injury. The Giallorossi could rotate their XI after a match against Feyenoord, allowing Houssem Aouar and Angelino to earn starts.
Torino FC
Torino’s pursuit of a top-six standing in Serie A has been hindered by a two-goal defeat to Lazio at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The loss was condemned by Matteo Guendouzi and Danilo Cataldi, marking their first loss since December 29. Torino currently occupy the same position in the Serie A standings after 25 matches of the 2023-24 campaign. They are five points behind Roma in sixth and nine behind Atalanta. Duvan Zapata, on loan to Torino, leads the Golden Boot race with eight goals in 24 first-tier appearances and three assists from teammates. Torino has been inconsistent this season and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match. The team’s current position is tied with Roma in sixth and Atalanta in fifth place.
Torino is without a first-choice centre-back until next month due to Alessandro Buongiorno’s shoulder injury and Dutchman Perr Schuurs’ recovery from a cruciate ligament injury, leaving the club with limited options in their backline.
