Roma set to dominate in Turin
AS Roma have been the most convincing early pacesetters in Serie A 2026/2027, currently top of the table on 9 points after 3 games, while Torino are currently down in 13th with 3 points from their first 3 fixtures.
Monday's game is a mismatch on paper between the Giallorossi and their hosts, with the odds of 1.56 a fair reflection of their respective starts to the campaign. Torino are listed at 6.0 with the draw at 3.8, but I wouldn't be staking anything on the Granata to pull off an upset.
Ignazio Abate has built a pragmatic, well-disciplined unit that can certainly hold their own in Serie A 2026/2027 and they will be dangerous in transition, but Gian Piero Gasperini's high-energy 3-4-2-1 system can have his Roma tearing teams apart when they have width from their wing-backs, pressure from their pressing and penetration from their players in the half-spaces.
Away win is the smart play
Roma have made a real statement in their last two games, beating Lecce 4-0 away in Serie A and then holding Atalanta at arm's length at home in a 2-1 victory. If they turn up at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Italy in similar form, they should win pretty comfortably.
Torino have been solid but unspectacular, falling at the first hurdle in the Cup to Monza at home and then recording an impressive 2-1 win away to Fiorentina. However, their home form isn't the greatest, with 1 goal scored and 2 conceded in their only outing there in Serie A 2026/2027.
Che Adams is their leading goal-scorer with 2 goals in 3 games in Serie A 2026/2027 and he is the best bet for a Torino goal here. Donyell Malen has been Roma's main man up top with 5 goals in 3 matches in Serie A 2026/2027 and Paulo Dybala has 4 assists in the same number of games to keep the front three ticking over.
The half-spaces will decide
With Gasperini's Roma set to push the pace and Torino set up to be compact and counterpunch, the wide areas and half-spaces will be key areas of the pitch in this game and I think the visitors have enough to gain the upper hand in those vital areas.
Roma to win and both teams not to score is a smart alternative bet for Monday's match-up as the visitors have yet to concede and know they can shut out the hosts.
