Verona vs Torino prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2022-05-13 19:00.
The penultimate Serie A (SA) matchday sees mid-table Verona face fellow middle of the road side Torino. Only one place separates these two teams in the SA table and in keeping with that, there has been similarly little to divide these teams across the last nine H2Hs, with seven ending in stalemate (W1, L1), and the last three draws ending 1-1.
With just one draw from Verona’s eight SA home games in 2022 so far, a repeat of history appears unlikely, but so does a ‘Yellow and Blues’ victory as Verona have won just one of their last four SA home outings (D1, L2). They do boast an impressive return of six wins from ten home games against sides below them in the table ahead of the round though (D2, L2), as Torino are, which could inspire confidence of a return to winning ways here.
A 1-0 home defeat to formerly title-chasing Napoli last time out ended Torino’s impressive six-match unbeaten SA run (W3, D3). However Torino do still boast a four-match undefeated SA away record (W2, D2), which has also seen the ‘Bull’ clock up seven goals across the last two games in that run (W1, D1).
Perhaps making those results even more impressive is that fact Torino battled from behind in both to claim a result and only four SA sides have won more away league games this season from behind than Torino’s two. Ivan Jurić’s side are equally as impressive when taking the lead on the road too, as they are one of just five SA teams to remain unbeaten when striking first away from home in SA (W2, D4).
Players to watch: Verona’s Giovanni Simeone has opened the scoring in all six of his goalscoring SA home appearances this season, whilst Torino’s Andrea Belotti has scored his last four goals away from home with three of those coming from the penalty spot.
Hot stat: Ahead of the round, no team has scored more SA goals in the opening 15 minutes than Verona’s 13.
