A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
For the last 15 years most of their meetings has been in Serie B. However, in the last 10 topflight meetings, Torino have won five, drawn three and lost two going into this match as the slight favourite.
Torino find themselves on minus one point for their involvement in the betting scandal but have already wiped out the deficit. Coach Giampiero Ventura can now start with a clean slate and his side will be confident of getting the win here considering that his side had also beaten Pescara in their last two Stadio Olimpico meetings in Serie B.
Alessio Cerci could make his Serie A debut for the home side following his move from Fiorentina and he will be egaer to impress here. Torino last played in Serie A in 2008/2009 season but they only scored 37 goals then. Cerci could be the key as he could run at full backs and could play a vital role to them this season.
As for the team news, injured Toro midfielder Sergio Suciu is the only absentee for the home side.
Pescara meanwhile began their season with a 3-0 loss to Inter Milan. If they are to stay in Serie A, then they must take points off games such as this and go for the win here.They go into this match without any injuries.
