Torino take on the visitors Sassuolo in the round 11 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, November 6th at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
Torino look like nothing more than an average team in Serie A. The Maroons are considered a club with a strong and illustrious history, if not a grand. However, there have been no recent successes, and it reached a point where The Bulls finished in 17th place in 2021. That's when they brought in Ivan Juric, who had solidified his reputation as an interesting and promising coach at Verona. On one hand, they immediately improved under his leadership. On the other hand, they are still just a mid-tier team without real ambitions to compete for European competitions. For example, they finished the 2022/2023 season in the top 10. However, their results are even more modest now. In late September and October, they suffered three defeats with only a goalless draw against the struggling Verona. They managed to secure an away 1-0 win against Lecce, another underperforming team. Afterward, they suffered a setback, losing 1-2 to Frosinone at home in the cup.

Sassuolo have been gradually slipping for a couple of seasons. The turning point is clear: Roberto De Zerbi, who led them to an 8th place finish and kept them there for the next season, decided that they had reached their ceiling and left for Shakhtar (eventually resurfacing at Brighton, where he thrived last season). After that, they bet on Alessio Dionisi, but under his guidance, Black and Green have steadily regressed. They started with an 11th place finish, and in the last season, they managed only 45 points and finished 13th. Their current results are also far from impressive. It began with three losses, including a 3-1 loss to Verona. Then, in September, they seemed to improve, defeating both Juventus and Inter. However, in their last 4 Serie A matches, they had alternating draws (1-1 against Lecce and Bologna) and losses (0-1 to Monza and 0-2 to Lazio), causing them to slide down to 15th place. In the cup, they got through Spezia this week, but only after a penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw in regular and extra time.
In 2021, The Bulls won twice in a row. But then there were 2 draws, each ending 1-1, with a minimal away victory for Neroverdi. Certainly, the odds favor The Maroons, especially since they are playing on their home turf. However, both teams are not in the best form. So, expect total under 2.5 goals in this match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
