Verona vs Torino prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-03 17:00.
[p]After their two-game winning streaks ended last weekend, Verona and Torino will look to get their seasons back on track as they chase survival and a top-half finish respectively in Serie A.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Verona were beaten 3-0 by AC Milan last Sunday – a fifth defeat in their last eight league matches (W2, D1) – which has kept the GialloblĂą two points adrift of safety ahead of this round of fixtures, albeit with a game in hand. Paolo Zanetti’s men have seen only three clubs score fewer than their 13 goals in Serie A this season pre-round, but such struggles may change. Verona have found the net seven times in their last four home games (W1, D1, L2), and following their 3-1 victory over Atalanta, they are now aiming to record back-to-back wins at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi for the first time since May 2024.[/p]
[p]Torino also saw their two-game winning streak end last weekend with a 2-1 loss to Cagliari, therefore missing an opportunity to register three consecutive Serie A wins for the first time since September 2019! The Maroons consequently failed to move into the top ten as their defensive struggles continue to hold them back, with no team having conceded more Serie A goals this season (28) pre-round. Marco Baroni’s men won 1-0 at Sassuolo before Christmas though, which gives Torino a chance to post successive away league victories for the first time since September 2024 – a run that included a 3-2 win at Verona.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
