Torino take on the visitors AS Roma in the round 38 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, May 25th at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
Torino initially showed progress under Ivan Jurić, climbing back into mid-table respectability in Serie A. But over time, they stalled and continued to miss out on European qualification — including last season when they finished ninth with 53 points, ahead of Napoli but still outside the top seven. This summer, Paolo Vanoli arrived in Turin, having guided Venezia to promotion, but at his new club, he only managed a few solid stretches — notably at the start and between January and March, when defeats were rare. In the closing rounds, the team appears to have already mentally checked out for vacation, which has translated into poor results. It’s one thing to lose to Napoli and Inter, but Vanoli couldn’t even beat his former side Venezia, drawing 1-1. They then followed that up with a surprising defeat to Lecce.

Roma unexpectedly have a shot at fulfilling a long-standing goal. The Giallorossi haven’t achieved anything major in recent years — even José Mourinho only managed a Conference League title. Without him, they lost the race for fifth place in Serie A and were knocked out in the Europa League semifinals. Daniele De Rossi was given a full-time opportunity, and the club brought in several new players over the summer, including Artem Dovbyk. However, the club dismissed their legend after early setbacks in the new campaign. They made an even worse call by hiring Ivan Jurić, who flopped quickly, prompting a return from retirement for Claudio Ranieri. The veteran coach stepped in to stabilize the chaos in the capital. Though his Roma were knocked out of both the Coppa Italia and Europa League relatively early, he engineered a late-season surge in Serie A, pushing the team near Champions League spots. A 1-2 loss away to Atalanta was a setback, but they bounced back impressively last round with a 3-1 win over Milan.
Roma are unbeaten in their last ten meetings with Torino and won the most recent two. There’s little sign of resistance from the hosts — Roma should win here comfortably. Back the Giallorossi to take all three points with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma to win with -1.0 handicap.
