TORINO

League position: 10th
Head coach: Ivan Juric
Serie A top scorer: Andrea Belotti (eight)

RECENT FORM

TORINO: W D W L W
ROMA: D D W L D

Sitting 10th going into the final weekend, Torino can only finish between ninth and 11th in the table.

It means they have little to play for but Juric’s men have far from eased off down the final straight, losing just one of their last eight and winning four times in the process.

As for the Giallorossi, victory will guarantee sixth - and a place in next season’s Europa League - and could even see them leapfrog rivals Lazio into fifth if Hellas Verona can leave Rome with all three points.

In order to do so, Jose Mourinho’s side will need to address their five game run without a top-flight victory.

Possible Torino line-up

LAST MEETING

DANGER MAN
Andrea Belotti

Il Gallo’s eight-goal league return this term is his lowest since Belotti scored six times in his maiden Serie A campaign in 2014-15.

Torino have been denied the services of their captain on 16 matchdays, with injury blighting the 28-year-old’s season.

But - coming on as a 71st minute sub and with Il Toro trailing 1-0 - Belotti’s 19-minute hat-trick in the 3-1 win at Empoli on Matchday 35 was an emphatic reminder of the Italy international’s prowess.

With Belotti out of contract next month, there is the possibility that this will be his last appearance for the Turin outfit and - if it is the case that he moves on this summer - he will be looking to make one last great impression in front of the club’s supporters.

MATCH STATS

There hasn’t been a draw between these sides in any of their 12 previous meetings , with Roma picking up nine wins and Torino three since they shared a 1-1 draw in December 2015.

Having shipped 38 goals prior to the final day, Torino have only once conceded fewer goals in a single top-flight season - 37 in 2018-19.

Roma’s recent Matchday 38 record is near perfect and the Giallorossi have collected five victories in their last six on the last day of the season - they drew the other.

With 66 victories in this fixture, Roma have beaten Torino more times than any other team in their Serie A history.

PLAYER STATS

• Belotti has scored six league goals against Roma, but only one of them have come in home games.
  
• Tammy Abraham, with 15 goals so far this term, is one strike behind Gerald Hitchens’ 16-goal record for an Englishman in a single Serie A season.
  
• Stephan El Shaarawy has scored four goals against Torino in Italy’s top-tier, with his returns against Chievo (seven) and Udinese (five) only better.
  
• El Shaarawy is also just one goal away from bringing up his half century in a Roma shirt.

WHAT THEY SAID

“Belotti’s contract is running down, we’ll see what happens... Andrea is a good lad, so I’d be stunned if after seven years at Toro, as the team’s captain, having scored 100 goals, he didn’t want to stay.

“After that, the fact remains we have not yet reached an agreement.”

- Torino president Urbano Cairo on Belotti's future
