Torino vs AS Roma Predicted Lineups: Team News and Analysis
Torino welcome league leaders AS Roma to the Stadio Olimpico di Torino in Serie A Regular Season - 4, with the hosts looking to halt an early wobble and the visitors aiming to extend a perfect start. With the fixture yet to kick off and no official team sheets released, this is the ideal moment to assess the predicted lineups and likely starting lineup choices based on form, squad depth, and early-season trends.
In the standings, Torino sit 13th with 3 points from 3 matches (record WLL), scoring 4 and conceding 5. Their only win so far has come away from home, while their sole home outing ended in defeat. AS Roma, by contrast, top Serie A with 9 points from 3 games, a flawless WWW record, 10 goals scored and just 1 conceded, underlining a strong early title statement.
Head-to-head history in recent seasons has generally tilted Roma’s way, and current form metrics reinforce that pattern: Roma’s overall comparison index leads comfortably, and their attacking and defensive indices are significantly higher. With that context, predicted lineups for both sides today take on added importance, as Torino search for the right balance to contain one of the league’s most in-form attacks.
Torino Team News & Expected Lineups Today
There are no confirmed absentees listed for Torino, so the coaching staff should have a full squad to choose from. That gives them flexibility to tweak the shape used across the opening three rounds, where they have alternated between different back-three and back-five systems. Their league form string “WLL” (oldest to newest) highlights a fast start followed by back-to-back defeats, so some adjustments to the expected lineup are likely.
Given the strength of the opponent, Torino are expected to lean on a compact, defensively solid setup, building from a back three with wing-backs dropping deep without the ball. In attack, the focus will likely be on direct running and exploiting transitions, with their leading scorer C. Adams central to those plans. With no significant absences reported, competition for places in midfield and attack is high, and several senior forwards will be pushing to start in the predicted lineups.
Torino Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup
Predicted Starting XI:
GK: A. Paleari
DF: C. Biraghi, Saúl Coco, E. Cömert, N. Patterson
MF: Daniel Bragança, R. Mandragora, N. Vlašić, C. Casadei
FW: C. Adams, G. Simeone
This predicted starting lineup for Torino is built around experience at the back and a blend of creativity and work rate in midfield. A. Paleari is a logical choice in goal from a deep pool of keepers. In defence, C. Biraghi offers set-piece quality and crossing from the left, while Saúl Coco and E. Cömert provide aerial presence and physicality in central areas. N. Patterson adds energy and recovery pace on the right, important against Roma’s dangerous wide attackers.
In midfield, Daniel Bragança and R. Mandragora can control tempo and provide progression from deep, while N. Vlašić brings ball-carrying and shooting threat between the lines. C. Casadei offers late runs into the box and additional height on set pieces. Up front, C. Adams stands out as Torino’s main attacking reference: he has already scored 2 goals in Serie A 2026, with a solid rating and 3 shots on target from 3 attempts, underlining his efficiency. Partnering him with G. Simeone adds penalty-box instinct and pressing intensity, giving Torino a front line capable of punishing Roma on turnovers.
AS Roma Team News & Expected Lineups Today
AS Roma arrive in Turin in outstanding form, with a league record of WWW, 10 goals scored and only 1 conceded. Their last-five metrics show a 100% form index, strong attacking index and excellent defensive numbers. No injuries or suspensions are recorded, so the manager can field a full-strength side, which is reflected in the expected lineups today.
Roma have consistently used an attacking-minded shape based on a back three and a flexible front line. With key forwards in red-hot form and the team’s defensive record almost spotless, there is little reason to rotate heavily. The predicted lineup will naturally revolve around star creator P. Dybala and prolific finisher D. Malen, with M. Soulé also emerging as a major threat both as a scorer and provider. With no significant absences reported, Roma’s depth allows them to maintain intensity throughout the 90 minutes.
AS Roma Predicted Lineups & Starting Lineup
Predicted Starting XI:
GK: M. Svilar
DF: G. Mancini, Hermoso, E. Ndicka, N. Molina
MF: B. Cristante, M. de Roon, L. Pellegrini
FW: P. Dybala, D. Malen, M. Soulé
Roma’s predicted starting lineup is stacked with quality and balance. M. Svilar is the natural pick in goal from a strong goalkeeping group. At the back, G. Mancini, Hermoso and E. Ndicka give a blend of aggression, anticipation and ball-playing ability, while N. Molina adds thrust and delivery from wide areas. This unit underpins a defence that has conceded just 1 goal in 3 league matches.
In midfield, B. Cristante and M. de Roon provide structure, pressing and protection in front of the defence, allowing L. Pellegrini to operate higher up, linking play and arriving in dangerous spaces. Ahead of them, Roma boast one of Serie A’s most potent trios so far. P. Dybala leads the league in assists with 4 in 3 appearances, also registering 12 shots and 14 key passes, reflecting his role as primary creator. D. Malen is the division’s top scorer with 5 goals from 3 games, supported by 11 shots (7 on target) and a high overall rating, making him the main focal point in the box. M. Soulé has contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in limited starts, with 10 shots and 7 on target, suggesting he is a constant threat whether starting or coming from the bench. Together, this front line forms the core of Roma’s attacking identity in the predicted lineups.
Injuries and Suspended Players Impact
With no missing players officially listed for either side, absences are not expected to play a decisive role in shaping this contest. Both managers should have the luxury of choosing from their full registered squads, making tactical choices and form the primary selection drivers.
Torino Absences:

AS Roma Absences:

Tactical Analysis: How the Lineups Match Up
The tactical battle is likely to hinge on whether Torino’s compact defensive block can withstand Roma’s high-powered attack. Torino’s recent league form string “WLL” and their defensive record of 5 goals conceded in 3 matches suggest vulnerability, especially in the middle and later phases of each half, where they have leaked goals. Their expected back line, supported by hard-working midfielders like R. Mandragora and Daniel Bragança, will need to stay narrow and disciplined, forcing Roma wide and limiting space between the lines for P. Dybala and L. Pellegrini.
Roma, meanwhile, come in with a league form string of “WWW”, averaging 3.3 goals per match and conceding just 0.3. The comparison indices heavily favour them in attack and defence, and the Poisson index is also tilted in their direction. With P. Dybala orchestrating and D. Malen finishing, Roma will look to pin Torino back, using N. Molina’s overlapping runs and M. Soulé’s movement from the flank or half-spaces to overload Torino’s wing-backs. Torino’s main route to goal will likely be transitions: using C. Adams’ strength and efficiency in front of goal, plus G. Simeone’s runs into the channels, to exploit any space left when Roma commit numbers forward. If Torino’s midfield can break Roma’s rhythm and find quick vertical passes into their front two, they can create chances despite Roma’s strong defensive numbers.
Match Prediction and Verdict
All available indicators point towards AS Roma as clear favourites. The predictions model gives Torino a 0% chance to win, with both the draw and away win each rated at 50%, effectively framing the contest as Roma’s to lose while acknowledging the possibility of a stalemate. Roma also dominate the overall comparison index, with their figure significantly higher than Torino’s, and the Poisson index reading 0 vs 100 underlines the gap in expected scoring potential.
Roma’s attacking trio of D. Malen, P. Dybala and M. Soulé is in outstanding form, and their defensive structure has been extremely solid. Torino have shown they can trouble Roma in one-off games in the past, but current form and early-season momentum are strongly on the visitors’ side. Expect Torino to compete physically and look for set-piece and transition opportunities, but Roma’s quality in the final third should ultimately tell.
Predicted Outcome: Torino 0–2 AS Roma
