AS Roma seek Serie A leadership against Torino

AS Roma have the chance to move to the top of Serie A when they visit Torino on Monday. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have won their first three league matches and need another victory in Turin to extend that sequence to four games. The match is scheduled for 18:30 and will be shown on DAZN.

Roma are one of only two teams to have made a perfect start, with Inter Milan the other. Torino have collected three points from their opening fixtures, losing twice in the process, so the league positions and early-season form favour the visitors. Roma’s unbeaten league record also gives them the opportunity to seize first place with a further success.

The fixture comes after Roma opened their Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahçe. The midweek trip adds to the physical demands facing Gasperini’s squad as they return to Serie A action, while Torino will look to use home advantage to improve on their opening results.

Torino are set to begin with Perri in goal, supported by Comuzzo, Ismajli and Comert. Belghali, Fitz-Jim, Mandragora and Cacciamani are listed in midfield, with Vlasic behind Adams and Simeone. Roma’s expected XI includes Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka and Ghilardi; Molina, Cristante, Pisilli and Wesley; Soule and Mora; and Malen.
