Torino vs AS Roma Prediction - Sep 14, 2026

Torino vs AS Roma prediction: Turin test for leaders

Our Torino vs AS Roma prediction focuses on a Monday evening game that should mix home resistance with Roma’s attacking confidence. Kick-off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino is scheduled for 17:30 GMT, or 18:30 local time, on September 14, 2026.

Roma arrive with momentum and a clear identity

Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma have made an outstanding start to the Serie A season. They lead the table with nine points from three games, scoring 10 goals and conceding only once. Consecutive 4-0 wins over Fiorentina and Lecce were followed by a dramatic 2-1 comeback against Atalanta, with Mario Hermoso and Matías Soulé providing the late goals.

That form reflects Gasperini’s aggressive approach. Roma want to press high, recover possession quickly and commit several players to attacks. The visitors are expected to control around 61% of the ball in Turin, so Torino’s first challenge will be finding a safe route through that pressure.

Roma do have defensive absences. Evan Ndicka is reportedly unavailable, while 19-year-old summer signing Robinio Vaz remains sidelined after suffering a knee ligament injury in pre-season. Even so, the depth and quality of a squad valued at approximately €484.60m give Gasperini several options.

Abate may adjust Torino’s midfield

Torino’s opening weeks have been less comfortable. Ignazio Abate’s team lost 2-1 to both AC Milan and Sassuolo and also exited the Coppa Italia against Monza. However, their 2-1 comeback victory away to Fiorentina offered a timely lift. Ché Adams and former Fiorentina midfielder Rolando Mandragora scored the goals.

Abate is reportedly considering tactical changes designed to escape Roma’s press. Daniel Bragança, recently recruited from Sporting CP, could receive his first start and compete with Gvidas Gineitis for a place alongside Mandragora. His ability to receive the ball between the lines may be useful when Torino need calm rather than another hopeful clearance.
