Torino sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table in Serie A as they welcome Roma, who are chasing a top four finish and potential UEFA Champions League qualification on the final day.

Torino preview: Mid-table Torino

Despite a change in management in the summer with the appointment of Paolo Vanoli, who had just won the Serie B title with Venezia, to replace Ivan Juric, who went on to manage Roma this season, Torino have remained firmly in the middle-of-the-table in Serie A.

The Piedmont-based club come into this one on the back of collecting just one point from their last four matches in the league as they coast towards the end of the season. They most recently suffered a 1-0 loss to Lecce at Stadio Comunale Via del Mare in Apulia last weekend.

Roma preview: Ranieri’s Romans

When Claudio Ranieri came out of retirement to become Roma’s third permanent manager of the season during the November international break, Roma were getting dragged towards the relegation battle but they instead could qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

The Giallorossi have been magnificent in the last six months or so as the Romans come into this one on the back of a return to winning ways as they defeated AC Milan by three goals to one at the Stadio Olimpico in the capital city last weekend.
