Torino vs Roma Prediction 18 January 2026
📢 What can we expect in the second consecutive clash between Torino and Roma, set to unfold in the 21st round? On January 13, these teams faced off in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. Back then, the "Giallorossi" enjoyed the support of their home crowd, but it didn't stop the Turin side from advancing with a 3-2 victory. Now, Torino will aim to replicate that success at the "Olimpico Grande Torino." However, Roma are certainly seeking revenge, especially with crucial points at stake in their pursuit of a top-four finish.
Head-to-Head
📊 In recent head-to-head encounters between Torino and Roma, the Romans have shown a clear advantage. Out of 41 matches, the "Giallorossi" have claimed victory 27 times, while the "Granata" have won on 8 occasions, with 6 games ending in a draw. However, this season Torino have managed to upset Roma twice: besides their win in the Coppa Italia (3-2), the Turin side also defeated their rivals away in the first round of Serie A (1-0).
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Torino Team Overview
🔴 Torino have struggled with consistency both throughout the season and in recent times. The team can showcase a high level of play and secure a victory, only to falter across all metrics just days later. A prime example is their performance in mid-January: on the 10th, the "Bulls" were convincingly beaten by Atalanta away in Serie A (0-2), but by January 13, they managed to knock Roma out of the Coppa Italia (3-2), scoring three goals on the road. This result is particularly notable given that very few teams have managed to score two goals against the "Wolves" this season.
⚪ In the Serie A standings, Torino remain firmly in mid-table. After 20 matches, the team sits in 12th place with 23 points. The Turin club is roughly equidistant from both the relegation zone and the top six.

Roma Team Overview
🔴 Roma exemplify a team struggling with consistency. In their last ten matches across all competitions, the Giallorossi have an even split with five wins and five losses. In their cup tie against Torino (2-3), Roma looked quite sharp in attack, creating numerous chances and converting two of them. However, they were uncharacteristically shaky in defense, making several errors that led to conceding three goals.
🟡 Such fluctuations in form have inevitably impacted their league standing. After the 20th round, Roma sit only in fifth place with 39 points, despite being close to the leaders not too long ago, and even topping the table at one point.

Latest news
Torino
📣 After their 3-2 victory over Roma, Torino's head coach Marco Baroni highlighted the challenges of the cup format: "In this tournament, teams usually get knocked out by stronger opponents - we have no advantages here. Today, we had to keep Roma away from our penalty area." Baroni also commented on Gian Piero Gasperini: "I have great respect for him; what Gasperini has done for Italian football is incredible. But the victories belong to the players, not me."
🚫 Torino are dealing with several personnel issues. Adam Masina will miss the match due to his call-up to the Moroccan national team. The participation of Giovanni Simeone and Ivan Ilic is doubtful, as both are dealing with health issues, and their readiness will be assessed at the last moment. Additionally, Perr Schuurs and Zanos Savva have been sidelined for a long time, both recovering from cruciate ligament tears.
Roma
📣 Roma's coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, highlighted some positives despite the exit: "I saw a lot of good things; the guys came back twice. We rotated the squad heavily, and there were chances for Arena as well - we could have won the match." Gasperini admitted that the decisive moment was painful: "Conceding a goal from a corner left a bitter taste. We already thought it would go to penalties." On squad depth: "I'm pleased with what we have. We had a very good first round and got responses from everyone."
🚫 Roma's personnel situation isn't looking any better. Neil El Aynaoui is with the Moroccan national team, and Edoardo Bove remains unavailable due to heart issues. Pierluigi Gollini, Tommaso Baldanzi, and Artem Dovbyk will also be absent. Evan Ferguson is doubtful as he is experiencing back pain.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Torino have been fairly consistent in attack lately, scoring at least one goal in 9 of their last 10 matches. The only exception was their recent encounter against Atalanta (0-2), who are currently in excellent form. Considering Roma's inconsistent performances and Torino's ability to create chances, betting on a Torino goal seems a reliable option.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Roma rank among the top four in Serie A for corners, averaging 5.1 per match. In the upcoming clash, it's highly likely that the Romans will spend more time in the opposition's half and mount frequent attacks. In this context, betting on Roma over 3.5 corners appears a logical choice, especially since this wager has come through in 6 of their last 7 head-to-heads against Torino.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Roma are favored in the upcoming clash, yet Torino have already shown twice this season that they can match the Romans on the pitch-securing a 1-0 victory in the league and a thrilling 3-2 win in the Coppa Italia. Both of these encounters took place in Rome, and now the Turin side will have the advantage of playing at home, which only boosts their chances further. Torino are sure to put up a fight, especially given their knack for finding the net at home. Our main bet is both teams to score (yes), which has come through in six of Torino's last seven home matches in Serie A. We wouldn't be surprised if the Turin side clinch a 2-1 win.
