Torino Team News
You couldn't tell by the league positioning - Torino is 12th - nor by the -18 goal difference that is more akin to relegation candidates, but Torino hasn't looked this good for a long time. Or... ever. This Torino is an offensive-minded side that plays fluently and can score a goal more than the opponent, which is a pleasure to watch after all those years of playing to not lose.
We won't be bothered by the recent results nor by the fact that Torino isn't looking that good when you look at stats alone. This is a good, confident, offensive side that plays good football. Of course it won't be enough to win every single time. But it's fun to watch and what's important for our cause is that Torino wins more often than they're expected to.
Every season in Serie A we get a side that's being underappreciated by the bookmakers despite playing good football and winning often. This season, Torino is definitely it. Get on the bandwagon while it lasts.
Hellas Verona Team News
Verona will get their win here and there, like they did in Bologna a month ago, but most of the time this team will lose. This is a strange side that is attempting to play offensively with nice short passes, and they look good on the pitch, but are always ultimately let down by their overall lack of quality.
Last year in this same situation, with a skeleton crew of players that weren't sold for profit in the January transfer window, Verona springed back to life and managed to stay in the league against all odds. This time around, it hasn't happened yet. Verona lost the last three, to Genoa, Atalanta and Fiorentina, without even scoring a single goal.
Probable Lineups
Torino (3-4-1-2): Paleari - Ismajli, Coco, Ebosse - Pedersen, Ilkhan, Gineitis, Obrador - Vlasic - Adams, Simeone. Coach Baroni.
Verona (3-5-2): Montipo - Nelsson, Edmundsson, Frese - Oyegoke, Akpa Akpro, Gagliardini, Bernede, Belghali - Bowie, Orban. Coach Sammarco.
The standard member of the defensive line Bella-Kotchap is probably out for Verona. Torino could get Zapata back, he's doubtful.
The Betting Market
It's rare to see such a one-sided H2H as this one, as Verona hasn't won in the last 13 meetings with Torino, which includes a clean 0-3 win for Torino in January this year. The bookmakers obviously haven't gotten the memo as they're pricing Torino at 1.91 here.
The price doesn't even make sense when you look at league positioning, as it would be understandable if Verona was somewhere near mid-table, which they are not. This is an almost relegated team with 18 points, just barely better on goal difference than the lowly Pisa. Verona is going down and the defeat in Turin will be the last nail in their coffin.
Under 2.5 Goals is priced at 1.57 but we'd leave this alone, Torino alone can score three and Verona can score on a good day too. Both Teams To Score: NO is priced at 1.66. Both of these bets are best ignored as all the value is on Torino to win.
The Betting Verdict
It's a no-brainer really. Torino is having the best season in recent memory and is playing offensively, while Verona is getting relegated this time around. Everything points to a confident home win. There shouldn't be any surprises here. Torino will finally connect two back-to-back wins, for the first time this season.
The Pick :
Torino 3-1 Verona
