Roma vs. Torino

Roma are on 2^nd place in Serie A and they still have slim hopes to get first place and win lo scudetto this year .  Roma has good run and they recovered some points in last 10 games versus Inter but Roma showed some weakness against relegation threatened teams like Cagliari and somehow against Livorno , obtaining draw .

Last away game played by Roma was very interesting . Roma got a red card and were 1-0 down but they somehow managed to win 3-1 . I got the feeling that Roma started to play football only after being down by one goal and one man less on the field .

For this game most of the people will back Roma to win thinking they can’t miss points in order to keep close to Inter . I feel Roma already is out of the race and losing one points or points in this game wouldn’t be a tragedy for Roma .

Torino , on the other hand are very close to relegation zone and they surely don’t feel comfortable .Torino is clearly losing speed getting just 3 points ( one win ) in the last 7 games . In first half of the championship Torino were a tough team to beat and somehow this suddenly changed ? I am going to back Torino to get at least one point today .

Roma will have Francesco Totti unavailable for this game  and till the end of the season . Roma had trouble playing without Totti even in the past but now without him I can’t see much value in odds offered for Roma’s win .

Roma (probable): Doni; Cicinho, Mexes, Juan, Tonetto; Pizarro, De Rossi; Esposito, Perrotta, Taddei; Vucinic

Torino (probable): Sereni; Motta, Di Loreto, Dellafiore, Pisano; Diana, Grella, Barone, Lazetic; Rosina; Stellone

My bet :

Roma-Torino X2 @2.8
