Roma v Torino: Dybala starts, Simeone leads the visitors | OneFootball

The third day of Serie A continues with the Sunday lunch match between Roma and Torino, a clash that promises entertainment and numerous tactical insights. Gian Piero Gasperini, at the helm of the Giallorossi, surprises everyone by choosing to rely on Paulo Dybala from the first minute, supported in the attacking midfield by Soulé and El Aynaoui, tasked with creating and dictating the pace of the offensive play. In midfield, the coach confirms the barrier formed by Koné and Cristante, while in defense, the trio Hermoso-Mancini-N’Dicka represents the backbone of the rearguard. Surprisingly, Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson, two offensive options that were considered alternatives by the Piedmontese coach, are left out.

Roma-Torino, Gasperini excludes Dovbyk and Ferguson: the choices

On the Granata side, Marco Baroni fields an attacking trio with Cholito Simeone as the central reference, flanked by Ngonge and Vlasic on the wings. In midfield, Casadei joins Asllani in the playmaking role, with Ilic positioned on the left center, while in defense, Coco is confirmed as a fixed point. The choices of the two coaches outline two different approaches: Roma focuses on experience and Dybala's ability to dictate the pace, while Torino seeks freshness and dynamism on the flanks with the aim of surprising the hosts.
