Torino vs Genoa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-02-07 19:45.
[p]Torino will be hoping the addition of two players on a busy transfer deadline day can provide the boost they need to move up the Serie A table. Reims forward Amine Salama and Cristiano Biraghi of Fiorentina were recruited on Monday, as manager Paolo Vanoli looks to improve a team who, although undefeated in six outings (W1, D5), have only won two of their last 14 league fixtures (D7, L5).[/p]
[p]The Bulls sit 11th in the top flight, which is incredibly the exact same position as when they started their unbeaten run, as they target a fourth top-half finish in a row in Serie A, something the club last achieved in the early 1990s! To manage that though, Torino probably need to shake off a nasty habit of conceding first, as they have trailed in five of their last seven fixtures (W1, D5, L1), including a 1-1 stalemate with Atalanta last weekend.[/p]
[p]The hosts won’t want to go 1-0 down against Genoa, as the visitors are unbeaten in league matches when they have taken the lead this season (W6, D1). And Patrick Vieira’s side will be desperate to strike first in search of ending a miserable recent H2H record, having won only one of the last 14 meetings between these two teams (D4, L9).[/p]
[p]As if that is not a bad enough omen for supporters, they have also seen their side fail to come out on top in any of their last three away trips (D1, L2), most recently a 2-1 reversal against Fiorentina. In spite of that downturn, Genoa can jump above their opponents in the table with a win, but just one win from their last seven Saturday-held games in Serie A (D2, L4) suggests that may be a tall order. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Midfielder Samuele Ricci has helped Torino keep a clean sheet in each of his three H2Hs with Genoa whilst playing for the club (W1, D2). Despite often being deployed as a defender, Genoa’s Koni De Winter might test that record, as he has netted in back-to-back games for the first time his career, although he has also been booked in six of his 13 league and cup starts this season.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Torino’s Serie A matches this season average a league-low of 2.22 goals per game.[/p]
