Key Facts
- AS Roma sits in second place with nine points and can keep the early pressure on league-leading Lazio with a win.
- Turin is in thirteenth place with three points; a second league win would give Abate’s team some much-needed breathing room at the bottom of the tightly packed standings.
- AS Roma has won all three of its league games and has scored at least one goal in each of its last four matches, which is why an away win is the main betting recommendation.
- Turin has conceded goals in four of its last five matches, while the absence of goalkeeper Franco Israel puts additional strain on the defense.
- The “Both Teams to Score: Yes” bet is favored because Turin has scored in four of its last five matches and most recently came from behind to win at Fiorentina.
- Paulo Dybala has set up four goals in three league appearances and remains AS Roma’s most important creative player.
Match Preview
AS Roma travels to Turin four days after their 1-1 draw against Fenerbahçe in the Champions League, while Ignazio Abate’s team has had nine days to build on their performance in Florence. For Monday’s regular-season Serie A match at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino, Gasperini must balance freshness with momentum.
The visitors sit in second place with nine points, one point behind Lazio, so a win would help them maintain early momentum in the title race. Turin is in 13th place with three points, tied on points with Napoli and Lecce, so a second league win could create some breathing room at the bottom of the table. AS Roma won the most recent matchup 2-0 in January 2026, a result that underscores their current dominance.
This analysis favors an AS Roma victory, though the higher handicap for AS Roma is best suited for a smaller wager, and “both teams to score” is recommended as a supplementary bet.
- Venue: Stadio Olimpico di Torino, Turin
- Date and Time: September 14, 2026, 6:30 p.m.
- Competition: Serie A (Matchday 4)
AS Roma to win is the main pick: Three league wins have propelled Gasperini’s team into the top tier and support the visitors’ clear status as favorites in the market. The -1.5 handicap is supported by two consecutive 4-0 league wins, but Turin’s 2-1 victory at Fiorentina makes the required two-goal margin a costly counter-bet. Both teams to score: Yes remains an interesting option, as Turin has scored in four of its last five games.
Turin Form & Record Check
Turin’s 2-1 win at Fiorentina was an important rebound following league losses to AC Milan and Sassuolo. Abate’s team showed the necessary resilience after falling behind, which lends credibility to the “Both Teams to Score: Yes” bet. However, since Turin has conceded goals in four consecutive matches, AS Roma once again has opportunities.
In five competitive matches, Turin has recorded two wins and three losses—a record that calls for more control than just another spirited comeback. The 0–1 loss to Monza in the Coppa Italia highlighted the cost of an attack that was at times ineffective, while the 1–0 win over Carrarese remained the only clean-sheet victory in this stretch.
In Serie A, Turin has one win and two losses after three games, with a goal difference of 4–5 and 1.33 goals per game. They have yet to keep a clean sheet in a league match, and in their last five competitive games, they’ve managed only two wins: a 2–1 victory at Fiorentina and a 1–0 win against Carrarese in the Coppa Italia. The distribution of goals is striking: Half of their league goals were scored between the 76th and 90th minutes, while 40 percent of the goals they conceded came between the 61st and 75th minutes. In comparison, AS Roma has three league wins with a goal difference of 10-1, so the hosts will need to do a better job of controlling the closing stages of the game.
Turin is expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation. Gvidas Gineitis and Rolando Mandragora could anchor the midfield, while Nikola Vlašić is set to support Ché Adams on the attack. Franco Israel and Pietro Pellegri are out, so Perri is set to start in goal, and Adams remains a likely option for the attack.
AS Roma Form & Record Check
AS Roma drew 1-1 against Fenerbahçe in the Champions League after Bryan Cristante put them ahead. The second-half equalizer exposed a lack of concentration, which Gasperini has acknowledged. The point was valuable in a single group-stage match, but the performance shifts the focus to rotation and game management for the task ahead in Turin.
In Serie A, three wins in three games have earned AS Roma nine points and given them the league’s best offensive and defensive records early on. The 4-0 victories over Fiorentina and Lecce point to an away win, while the 2-1 win against Atalanta shows they can control a closer match as well.
AS Roma has scored in all four competitive matches this season, a consistency that supports both away-focused picks. Paulo Dybala has set up four goals in three league appearances, though the demanding schedule could prompt Gasperini to refresh his attacking options rather than stick to a fixed attacking formation.
AS Roma could line up in a 3-4-2-1, with Mile Svilar in goal behind Gianluca Mancini, Leonardo Balerdi, and Evan Ndicka. Bryan Cristante and Manu Koné are likely to form the central midfield, while Rodrigo Mora and Matías Soulé could support Santiago Castro. This leaves Gasperini with several options for the more attacking roles.
Turin vs. AS Roma Head-to-Head & Statistics
In the past 30 recorded matchups, AS Roma has 19 wins compared to Turin’s six, with five draws—a clear historical trend favoring an away win. AS Roma won the most recent league match 2–0 in January 2026, thereby reestablishing their dominance after Turin had previously won the Coppa Italia match 3–2 and the league game 1–0.
In their current five-game streak, fewer than 1.5 goals have been scored in the first half of each match. This pattern suggests that patience may be required before AS Roma builds a decisive lead. Their superiority remains the clearer indicator, but a cautious start increases the risk that the victory won’t come by a wide margin.
