With pressure mounting on Ivan Juric, Roma will host Torino in a crucial Serie A clash on Thursday. After suffering a 5-1 defeat to Fiorentina last weekend, Roma find themselves in the bottom half of the league, intensifying speculation around their recently appointed manager. This month has been disappointing for Roma, who have only managed one win across all competitions and now risk a third consecutive Serie A defeat—a streak they haven’t faced since 2020. Despite the struggles, they’ll hope for a rebound, as Roma have won 12 of their last 14 home league games against Torino.
Meanwhile, Torino, under Paolo Vanoli, have made a promising start to the season. Although they recently lost three matches on the bounce, they recovered with a 1-0 win over Como, thanks to a goal from teenage substitute Alieu Njie. Sitting ninth in the table, Torino could widen the gap with Roma by seven points if they secure a win in the capital.
Roma will be without Alexis Saelemaekers and Mario Hermoso, the latter suspended, though Stephan El Shaarawy may return from a calf injury. In attack, Artem Dovbyk is set to start alongside Paulo Dybala, while Torino, missing key players like Ivan Ilic and captain Duvan Zapata, will rely on the partnership of Che Adams and Antonio Sanabria.
Torino’s mixed form on the road this season, paired with Roma’s ongoing challenges, suggests a competitive match. With both sides vulnerable defensively, a high-scoring draw seems likely.
随着尤里奇身上的压力越来越大,罗马将在周四的意甲联赛中主场迎战都灵。在上周末以5比1不敌佛罗伦萨之后,罗马发现自己在联赛中排名后半,这加剧了人们对他们新上任的主教练的猜测。这个月对罗马来说是令人失望的,他们在所有比赛中只取得了一场胜利,现在有可能连续第三次在意甲失利——这是他们自2020年以来从未遇到过的连胜。尽管处境艰难,但他们希望能够反弹,因为罗马在最近14场主场对阵都灵的比赛中赢了12场。
与此同时,在保罗·瓦诺里的带领下,都灵本赛季开局不错。虽然他们最近在反弹中输了三场比赛,但由于青少年替补球员阿利乌·恩杰的进球,他们以1比0战胜了科莫。目前,都灵在积分榜上排名第九,如果在首都取得胜利,他们与罗马的差距将扩大7分。
罗马将失去萨勒梅克斯和赫尔莫索,后者将停赛,不过沙拉维可能会从小腿受伤中恢复。在进攻方面,多比克将和保罗·迪巴拉搭档首发,而缺少伊万·伊利奇和队长杜万·萨帕塔等关键球员的都灵将依靠切·亚当斯和安东尼奥·萨纳布里亚的搭档。
都灵本赛季在客场的混合状态,加上罗马的持续挑战,表明这是一场激烈的比赛。由于双方的防守都很脆弱,一场高比分的平局似乎是可能的。
