Roma vs Torino prediction, head-to-head and probable lineups - 13 January 2026
One of the Coppa Italia Round of 16 clashes will unfold this Tuesday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, where the local side Roma will host Torino. Let's break down the best betting options for this fixture, factoring in the teams' current form and their recent head-to-head history.
Match preview
Roma approach this cup tie on the back of two convincing 2-0 victories over Lecce and Sassuolo. Gian Piero Gasperini's squad is hitting its stride as the season progresses, and their win over Sassuolo had all the hallmarks of a top club - squeezing their opponent in the second half. With European competitions on pause, squad rotation will be minimal - injuries and suspensions have limited options. Still, motivation will be sky-high, both to reach the quarterfinals and to get revenge for September’s defeat to Torino.
Back then, in Serie A, Roma dominated proceedings but somehow slumped to a 0-1 loss. This time, Roma are not just looking to progress - they’re playing at home, in good form, and, most importantly, with a clear objective: settle the score. Yes, Gasperini is missing several key players, including Mancini and Pellegrini, but the team’s overall structure and style allow them to dictate play and create chances, especially after halftime when opponents start to tire.
Torino, meanwhile, have slipped back into familiar turbulence: three defeats in four matches have once again cast doubt over Marco Baroni’s future. The team lacks consistency, with any glimpses of promise quickly extinguished by a string of setbacks. Given the packed schedule and the lack of pressure in the cup, Torino might play with a bit more freedom, but fundamentally, this remains a side lacking direction and progress. The only silver lining is that Torino have already beaten Roma this season and know how to strike on the counterattack.
Che Adams and Giovanni Simeone - the Bulls' main attacking threats, who were rested for this clash in the capital - are expected to return to the starting lineup. Look as well for Elhan and Casadei to feature in midfield, with Israel between the posts. Such rotation could inject energy into the squad but might also disrupt their chemistry. Torino aren’t challenging for top spots in Serie A, and the Coppa Italia is a chance to make some noise, but they lack Roma’s knockout experience and tactical solidity.
Probable lineups
- Roma: Svilar, Hermoso Canseco, Ziolkowski, Gilardi, Wesley, Cristante, Kone, Celik, El Shaarawy, Sule, Ferguson
- Torino: Israel, Ismaily, Maripan, Coco, Dembele, Ilhan, Asllani, Anjorin, Nkunku, Simeone, Adams
Match facts and head-to-head
- Under 2.5 goals has landed in six of the last seven meetings between these sides.
- Roma lost 0-1 at home to Torino in September despite having 73% possession.
- In five of the last matches between these teams at the Olimpico, only one side has found the net.
Prediction
Roma are showing steady improvement and are in a much better rhythm than the inconsistent Torino. The hosts will be hungry for redemption after September’s defeat, and even though their squad is not at full strength, the core remains intact. Torino’s rotation might inject some freshness, but it’s unlikely to be enough against Roma’s organized intensity.
