AS Roma hosts Torino in round 12 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, December 17th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
After 4-5 starting rounds of the Italian championship, Paulo Fonseca was on the verge of being fired due to unsatisfactory results. In the last rounds, Roma began to gradually improve its tournament position and has already reached the European Cup zone. Nevertheless, the Wolves are still far from the fight for the title. In parallel, the Romans made their way to the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, having taken first place in the group (13 points). Many fans and experts criticized Paulo Fonseca for dubious personnel decisions, weak tactical readiness of the team, and a complete lack of stability in the results. Such players as Mkhitaryan, Veretout, Pedro, Diawara, Smalling, and Pau Lopez became the leaders of the team this season.

Instead of the European Cup ambitions, the fans of Torino are forced to watch regular failures in the local arena and the struggle for survival. Marco Giampaolo is far from tackling the tasks for the season. His players are weak in terms of defense (one of the worst in the league). Torino recently defeated Entella (2:0) in the 1/16 Italian Cup, having advanced to the next stage of the prestigious national tournament. Giampaolo has a serious staff potential, which is not unlocked in the current season. After all, such players as Bellotti, Izzo, Verdi, Linetti, Nkoulou, Sirigu, and Rodriguez are capable of a lot. The bet on experienced personnel has not justified itself yet, and the coaching staff will have to work hard to turn the situation in the championship upside down.
At this stage of the Italian championship, these teams are tackling completely opposite tasks. Torino tries to push off the bottom and break away from the tentacles of the relegation zone. Roma is more concerned with European Cup goals. The goal of Fonseca's men is to get in the top three in the Serie A standings and return to the Champions League. The hosts have a good chance of gaining three points due to a more organized game and a good current shape.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win
