Torino hosts SPAL in round 17 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, December 21st at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin)
Last season, Torino took seventh place in the standings of the main championship of Italy. Due to the disqualification of AC Milan, the team received an opportunity to take part in the qualification of the Europa League. In general, the game of Torino in the last season pleasantly surprised. It managed to organize a strong and competent line of defense. In the Europa League, the team started from the second qualifying round. It successfully managed to knock out Debrecen and Shakhtyor Soligorsk but lost in both meetings with Wolverhampton. This is where Torino’s performance in the Europa League ended. But in the new season of the national championship, the situation is not so good. Currently, the team is in ninth place. The indicators are far from perfect, especially if you compare them with last season. The team has six victories, three draws, and seven defeats. It has shown rather good results recently. The Bulls managed to gain three victories in November and early December. In the last match, Torino played against Verona. The teams failed to determine the winner in that match. Torino was ahead of its opponents by three goals until the 69th minute, but Verona managed to catch up with the Bulls and leveled the score, thereby preventing them from earning three points and moving to eighth place.

The success of the visitors in the new season is not visible at all. SPAL is the main outsider of the Italian championship and takes the last place. Last season, the team felt good in the middle of the standings. Now the situation is completely different. SPAL has very big problems with the attack. Over the past 16 rounds, the team managed to score only ten goals. The defense is still not bad, but when there is nothing to give a return fight, the defense will not be able to save much. However, the club managed to gain two victories over teams that are far from the weakest in the championship. SPAL won its first victory over Lazio with a 2:1 score. Then, after three defeats, the team managed to repeat its success and beat Parma with a minimum score. By the way, SPAL played in the minority in the second match, but this did not affect the result. Forward Andrea Petagna managed to score in both matches. More recently, in the framework of the Italian Cup, SPAL managed to crack down on Lecce with a 5:1 score. But the team has not achieved success in the main championship of the country for a long time, except for a draw with Napoli (1:1). In the last match, SPAL played against AS Roma and suffered another defeat with a 3:1 score.
Bookmakers claim that Torino will win the upcoming game and confirms this by a lower coefficient. There are almost no doubts that Torino will win in the upcoming match. It managed to cope with its opponent earlier when it was several times stronger. Now SPAL is an outsider, and therefore it will not be able to pose a special threat.
Prediction for the match: Torino to win
