Torino take on the visitors Verona at “Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino” in the gameweek seven of the Italian Serie A. The match will be played in Turin on Sunday, October 1st.
Last matchday Torino lost their first clash in this season, having been thrashed 0:4 by Juventus in the “Derby della Mole”. Without a doubt Sinisa Mihajlovic may blame Danielle Baselli for the silly expulsion in that fight. However, Torino look strong at their own turf. The team swept off Trapani 7:1 in the Coppa Italia while gained 3:0 victory over Sassuolo and 2:2 draw against Sampdoria in the Serie A. The defeat from Juventus must become an additional catalyst for Torino as the team really knows how to play football but it enormously difficult to fight against such a formidable opponent playing in minority. With six rounds behind, “Il Toro” shares the seventh-eighth positions in the Serie A standings with 11 points earned and 10-9 goal difference. The above mentioned Danielle Baselli and most probably Kevin Bonifazi, Antonio Barreca and Joel Obi won’t appear in the line-up for the encounter.

Meanwhile Verona are still in search of their play in this season’s Serie A. The team has taken only two draws against Crotone and Sampdoria with the same 0:0 scoreline. Verona’s statistics in their fights against strong sides is simply disastrous: 1:3 defeat from Napoli, 0:5 loss to Fiorentina, 0:3 failure against AS Roma as well as 0:3 defeat from Lazio. So far it looks like the new-comer is not ready for performing in the Italian elite division. It is remarkable that Verona have scored only one single goal alongside with 14 goals conceded which together with just two points gained allow “Mastini” to occupy the 19th place in the table. Only Benevento conceded more goals. Verona’s Nicolo Cherubin, Gianfilippo Felicioli and Alex Ferrari are unlikely to appear on the pitch in the forthcoming game.
Torino have been unable to beat Verona across four home clashes in a row. The club has a good chance to change this statistics in the next round. Torino will be motivated for sure after a bitter loss to Juventus while Verona will unlikely to restrain the hosting side. Therefore, I would bet for a confident triumph of Torino.
Prediction for the match: Torino to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
