Ignazio Abate finally secured his first league victory as Torino manager last weekend, with his side recovering from a goal down to defeat Fiorentina 2-1.
The result brought an end to a three-match losing run, but maintaining that momentum could prove difficult.
Home advantage could nevertheless give Torino reason for optimism, having won four of their last seven league matches at Stadio Olimpico di Torino, alongside two draws and one defeat.
That lone loss came on the opening matchday, leaving Il Toro with a chance to strengthen their home form by securing another important result.
Roma, meanwhile, were unable to mark their return to the UEFA Champions League with a victory, drawing 1-1 against Fenerbahce on Thursday.
Their European setback has done little to disrupt their domestic form, though, with the Giallorossi beating Atalanta 2-1 last weekend to make it three wins from three Serie A matches this season.
That victory also extended Roma’s winning league streak to eight matches, including their run from the end of last season.
Roma have kept three clean sheets in their last four league games away from home, providing a strong platform as they chase a fourth straight victory to begin a top-flight campaign.
