AS Roma and Torino go head-to-head in Serie A this weekend. Both sides will be looking to continue their early-season journey on a positive note, with the Giallorossi seeking to maintain their perfect start. Torino are searching for their first victory of the campaign.
Roma have made an impressive start to the 2025/26 season under new manager Gian Piero Gasperini, securing two consecutive 1-0 victories. However, Roma will be without Jamaican winger Leon Bailey, who suffered a thigh injury during his first training session after joining from Aston Villa. The 28-year-old is expected to be sidelined for approximately four weeks.
Brazilian defender Wesley remains a doubt after sustaining an injury on international duty with Brazil, though reports suggest he has avoided serious damage. Paulo Dybala has been carefully managed by Gasperini, appearing as a substitute in both Serie A matches as he continues his recovery from hamstring surgery.
Torino have endured a difficult start to the new campaign under Marco Baroni, collecting just one point from their opening two fixtures. The Granata have strengthened significantly during the summer transfer window, bringing in striker Giovanni Simeone on loan from Napoli, midfielder Kristjan Asllani on loan from Inter Milan, and experienced left-back Cristiano Biraghi from Fiorentina.
Torino face significant injury concerns heading into this fixture. Dutch defender Perr Schuurs remains sidelined with a knee injury, with his return not expected until late September. Midfielder Zanos Savva continues to miss matches due to ongoing fitness issues.
Roma opened their campaign with a 1-0 home win over Bologna, courtesy of a second-half strike from summer signing Wesley França. They followed this with another narrow 1-0 victory away to Pisa, with Argentine forward Matías Soulé scoring his first goal for the club after a brilliant combination with Paulo Dybala.
The Giallorossi currently sit fourth in the Serie A table with six points from two matches, having yet to concede a goal.
Marco Baroni’s Torino have struggled in their opening fixtures, managing just one point from two games. Il Granata suffered a devastating 5-0 defeat to Inter Milan in their season opener at San Siro, with Marcus Thuram scoring twice in a comprehensive victory for the Nerazzurri.
They responded with a goalless draw against Fiorentina at home, showing improved defensive resilience but lacking the cutting edge in the final third. Torino currently find themselves in 18th position in the Serie A standings.
AS Roma: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Wesley, Cristante, Koné, Angeliño; Soulé, Ferguson, El Shaarawy.
Torino: Israel; Coco, Maripán, Masina; Pedersen, Gineitis, Casadei, Biraghi; Vlašić, Simeone, Adams.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Italia and DAZN in Italy.
