Two clubs in opposite ends of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between AS Roma and Torino. The first-division battle scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and can be live streamed here free.
AS Roma enter today's match comfortably holding onto second place in the Serie A table. A 2-0 away victory over the weekend pushed the club to 64 points. Even in victory, manager Rudi Garcia managed to balance his praise with criticism (h/t to Forza Italian Football). "We had a great first half but I didn't like the second half as much," Garcia told Sky Sport Italia. "We scored from two defensive errors but the pass from [Rodrigo] Taddei for the second was excellent," he added.
"Taddei is a high level professional, he has always worked hard and I am pleased with the results. For me he is a very important player, whenever I call on him he always does his best and there will be time to talk about a new contract for him."
"The credit goes to the whole team though as my players always want to win and they give their all on the pitch.
