Roma vs Torino prediction, H2H and probable line-ups — January 13, 2026
In the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, Roma will face Torino. The match will take place in Rome on Tuesday, January 13. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 Central European Time. I’m offering a bet on both the outcome and total goals for this clash.
Match preview
In the 2025/26 season, Roma have been showing fairly consistent results. The team is confident at home, regularly creating numerous scoring opportunities and often finding the net in the first half.
In Serie A, Gasperini’s side frequently scores two or more goals per match, but defensive lapses remain an issue, leading to goals conceded even against mid-table opponents.
Recent fixtures show that the Giallorossi are improving both physically and tactically—after a series of setbacks, they managed to win crucial league matches, impressing with aggressive pressing and lively play down the flanks.
Despite sitting high in fourth place, it’s hard to call them true Scudetto contenders. The Romans lack consistency up front and are missing a prolific striker, making a winter transfer for a forward seem inevitable. Lately, rumors have been swirling about Atletico Madrid’s Giacomo Raspadori moving to Rome to address their attacking woes.
Torino this season look like solid mid-table operators without significant ambitions for European spots. Marco Baroni’s team displays grit and character both against their peers and Serie A giants.
After 20 games, the Turin side sits in 12th place and has been modest in attack. However, their main issue is at the back—their defense often collapses, making them, along with Udinese, one of the leakiest teams in the league.
In the Coppa Italia, Torino have already progressed through two rounds, narrowly defeating Modena and Pisa. In a one-off match, this team has shown it can compete against more illustrious opponents.
Despite underdog status, Torino approach this game motivated and confident. Overall, the Bulls are capable of putting up a fight and causing problems if they can convert their chances.

H2H

Prediction
Both teams come into the match in decent form, with bookmakers making the capital club the favorite. The cup format encourages caution, and the nature of the tie doesn’t suggest an open game, so I expect a low-scoring affair. My bet: Roma won’t lose, and there will be no more than 3.5 goals in the match.
