AS Roma vs Torino Prediction
AS Roma have eased some pressure on Jose Mourinho with back-to-back wins, while their midweek victory would have their confidence soaring.
Torino have been a thorn in their faces in recent seasons, but their poor away form on the road could be their own worst enemy here.
We're banking on a home win.
