Torino take on the visitors Verona in the round 16 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 4th at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
Torino set quite ambitious goals for themselves. "Pomegranate" remembers their great history, largely broken by a tragic plane crash. They have not risen so high, and they hardly believe now that they will be able to break into the lead. But they want to play in European cups, and Urbano Cairo simply couldn't stand the 17th place the season before last. As a result, Juric appeared in Turin - and immediately lifted them to the top half of the table. In the summer, however, the composition was overhauled, and because of this, the mentor, even at the height of the "window", publicly clashed with the directors. And in the end, they snatched newcomers as Vlašić and Miranchuk. As a result, it was possible, although not without a decline in the form of 1 point in 5 rounds, but it turned out a little, but to add to the pause.

Verona looked hopeless in autumn. Hellas under Juric not only entrenched among the participants in Serie A, finally getting rid of the stigma of "elevator", constantly falling into the 2nd division - they became a strong middle peasant. But Ivan left for a more ambitious, and simply richer project. Last season had a bad start, but then it turned out to find the right specialist by firing Di Francesco and appointing Tudor. Now such a trick could not be repeated, Bocchetti, although he was also a defender in the past, did not become the new Igor. 5 points after 15 matches looks like a doom for the Mastiffs. But if they start adding right now, they can revive the intrigue.
Last season, Juric was able to take the maximum against his former wards. Torino won both matches against Verona with a score of 1-0. The Bulls are not in optimal shape, but a very modest team comes to them. We recommend betting on the victory of the host side.
Prediction for the match: Torino to win.
