The hosts will be looking to get into the upper half of the league table with a win.

The exciting Serie A encounter between AS Roma and Torino FC is slated to take place at the historic Stadio Olimpico. AS Roma are having a rough time, sitting 11th in the Serie A standings, after a heavy defeat to Fiorentina. This loss has amped up the pressure on Ivan Juric, with talks of his potential replacement already surfacing.

The history between Roma and Torino is rich and both teams very well know the importance of this fixture. Torino FC hold the ninth spot, having recently ended a losing streak with a victory over Como. Despite their inconsistencies, Torino have shown tactical fluidity but also defensive vulnerabilities when it matters the most.

The Ukrainian plays as a target man and outlet in Roma’s tactics. He has a great skill set, which benefits a proper poacher of the game. He is not an elite creator nor an elite distributor of the ball.

Dovbyk excels when there is space to be exploited through setpieces or simply finding openings from open-play distribution. One of his key traits is his physicality. He can outrun and outmuscle most of the defenders, especially when in full motion. He is very difficult to stop once he gets going with his big strides.

Samuele Ricci (Torino)

Physically, the Italian is a deceptive athlete. He looks like a raggy figure but immediately surprises with his robust approach to physical duels, both on the ground and in the air. His robustness also extends to his ability to shield and protect the ball in possession.

The Italian is very light on the feet, making him a tidy dribbler in tight spaces and a great ball carrier driving through midfield. Ricci is reliable and effective in all phases of play and can fit into any style of play easily.

Both teams are not consistent with their performance on the field. They are not getting positive results and are low on confidence. Even though both teams have quality players, somehow they are not getting the desired result. This fixture will be an exciting one as both teams will look to get back to winning ways and fans can expect a high-intensity match. Most probably this fixture will end in a stalemate.
