Torino collected four points in three recent battles within the Italian elite division after 2:2 away draw against Spal, 1:3 loss to the leading Napoli and 3:1 triumph over Lazio.

In this season Genoa produce an average football on the road. The side scored just five goals in nine away encounters which is a quite horrible statistics for attack, however, “Il Grifone” deserved three wins and three draws in them. As for the team’s defense, it looks great, having conceded only five goals at away pitches so far. Genoa showed inconsistent play in three recent battles, having earned 1:2 defeat from Atalanta, 0:0 draw against Fiorentina on the road and 1:0 triumph over Benevento in front of their fans. As a result, a following conclusion can be made: the club has weak offense and a quite tough defense instead.
It will be an equal match. The latest head-to-head between the rivals that took place in May ended with 2:1 scoreline in favour of Genoa. Nevertheless, each clash between the teams is rather spectacular and full of fight and determination. Taking into consideration the club’s current positions in the Serie A table, it looks like there is no evident favourite in the upcoming game and it is going to be a tough battle. However, a slight advantage will be on behalf of “Il Toro” because of the home-field factor.
Prediction for the match: Torino to win.
