Overview
AS Roma's disappointing streak continued as they lost 1-5 to Fiorentina in round 9 of Serie A. In the last 5 matches, Roma only won 1, drew 1 and lost 3.
The team from the Italian capital even disappointed when they were held to a draw by weaker teams like Monza or lost shockingly to Elfsborg. The recent disastrous defeat to Fiorentina further complicated Roma's internal situation.
Just over a month after taking the job at Roma, coach Ivan Juric is under a lot of pressure. Roma will be back at home to host Torino in the upcoming match. This match will decide Ivan Juric's fate as there are clear signs that the Roma owners are looking for a better candidate.
Coach Paolo Vanoli's team just ended a series of bad matches with a 1-0 victory over Como in the last round.
Before that, Torino had suffered a series of 4 consecutive losses, including 3 matches in Serie A. However, a bright spot in Torino's poor form recently is that the attack line has maintained stable performance. They have scored in all 5 recent matches, with a total of 8 goals.
Torino do not tend to control the ball but always create dangerous attacking situations. Therefore, they have a basis to think about the opportunity to win points at Roma's home field. As for the home team, they need to improve their performance if they do not want to continue to lose to Torino.
Overall, Roma have been dominant against Torino in recent years. They have won six of their last 10 games against Torino. Interestingly, four of those wins came when Ivan Juric was Torino’s manager.

Roma's El Shaarawy and Saelemaekers are injured, while Hermoso is suspended.
