Torino take on the visitors Genoa in the round 18 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, December 22nd at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
Torino stick to open football and rarely end matches with scoreless draws. Only two out of their recent 12 matches ended with this score. Speaking of Torino home matches, two teams failed to score a single goal in first half only in clash between the hosts and Empoli. In other matches teams ended first halves with 2-1, 1-0 (three times), 3-1, 2-0 and 1-1. On top of that, the team average 3.75 goals per match at own turf and over 2.5 goals in 88% of home fixtures. At the same time, the team allowed in each home match except one with 20-8 goal difference. So, it’s a good idea to bet on over goals in Torino’s home matches.

Genoa are showing less scoring results but nine of their last ten matches featured goals in first halves. In other words, Genoa drew 0-0 only one of their last ten their first halves in the league. The most recent Genoa’s match ended with outstanding 3-4 matchup with Palermo. We should note that Genoa allowed 13 goals in their eight away matches of the season and there is a small chance for a clean sheet in upcoming match in Turin.
There are reasons to count on goals in the match and especially in the first half. In five previous head-to-heads opponents combined over 2.5 goals with both sides to score. First halves of previous season matches ended with 2-2 and 2-1. Clearly, we should expect at least one goal in the first half.
Prediction for the match: Over 1.0 goal in the first half.
