Verona take on the visitors Torino In the round 5 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, September 20th at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
Verona continues to look quite appealing. The "Mastiffs" were on the verge of relegation to Serie B in 2023. To be precise, they were greatly helped by the regulations, which allowed for a play-off in case of a tie on points. After defeating Spezia in that play-off, they managed to finish in 17th place. However, Hellas proved they deserved to stay in the top flight, reaching the classic mark of "1 point per match" in the 2023/2024 season, eventually finishing in a comfortable 13th position. The coach behind this progress, Baroni, moved to Lazio over the summer. However, his replacement, Zanetti, has had a decent start, alternating between defeats (in the cup to Cesena and to Juventus) and impressive victories (3-0 against Napoli and 2-0 against Genoa). But they lost 1-2 to Lazio, Baroni’s new club.

Torino began their collaboration with Ivan Jurić, ending the previous season in a precarious 17th place. With the Croatian coach, they improved, moving to the upper half of the table. However, they still failed to qualify for European competitions, finishing in 9th place, just outside the Conference League spots. Jurić was replaced by Paolo Vanoli, the former coach of Spartak Moscow, who led Venezia to Serie A via the playoffs last season. At Torino, Vanoli debuted with a cup victory over Cosenza, then narrowly missed out on a win against AC Milan, surrendering a 2-0 lead by the 89th minute. Nevertheless, they went on to defeat both Atalanta and Venezia. But last round, they surprisingly drew 0-0 with Lecce.
The "Granata" are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with Verona, winning 4 of the last 6 matches. The odds reflect the evenly matched nature of this contest. Both teams have their strengths and will look to exploit them. We anticipate an interesting match and suggest betting on "total goals over 2.0".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
