Fiorentina vs Torino Betting Tips

Fiorentina enter Sunday’s game in their worst form of the season. After securing a win over Palermo to start 2016 and challenging Napoli and Juventus at the top of the table, but since then they’ve lost back-to-back games. It started with a surprising 3-1 home defeat to slumping Lazio and continued last weekend with a fruitless trip to the San Siro, where they were beaten 2-0 by AC Milan.

They now enjoy a run of four games against teams that are either firmly lodged in the mid-table or battling against relegation starting with this home match-up against Torino. Look for Fiorentina to get people forward in numbers in this match-up and expect a better performance.

A four-game losing streak had seen Torino slide into the bottom half of the table, but they’ve played better over their last two games beating Frosinone 4-2 and battling for a 1-1 draw away from home against Sassuolo last weekend.

There’s no question that Torino come into this game looking to shut up shot, they’ve got the ability up front and in their midfield to compete, battle and perhaps threaten from a set piece.

Three Reasons for Betting

1. Fiorentina snap poor form

They’ve been beaten by a couple of good teams, but we’ll back Fiorentina to come good in this match-up and to pick up a much needed three points.

2. Torino guilty of sitting back too much

It’s a strategy adopted by a number of teams, but Torino have conceded 26 times in 20 games and we think they’ll be guilty of sitting back too much again on Sunday, it allows an opponent with a lot of skill to play with too much freedom.

3. Good odds

Fiorentina to win at home is coming in at a pretty useful 4/5, very good odds considering their opponent.
