Torino vs Chievo Predictions

Torino are aiming to continue their European push this weekend, as they look to secure a Europa League spot next season. The hosts have built up a strong record at their own ground of late, and now they’re taking on Serie A’s worst side. Chievo make this trip still on course for Serie B, despite finally making it into double figures thanks to their point at home to Genoa last weekend. Can they boost their tally further with a shock result here?

Torino have been priced up as the heavy favourites to get a result in this one, with the club moving into the top six reckoning with last weekend’s win. They beat Atalanta 2-0 to move above them in the table, they’re now in a three-way tie for sixth, sitting on 38 points with both Atalanta and Lazio. In an up and down season in the European race, Il Toro have emerged as genuine contenders.

Chievo won’t be pleased that they’re visiting this ground just as Torino hit their best spell of form. The away side continue to struggle for points, and they’ve won just once all season from their 25 games. They’ve lost 14 of those matches while failing to win any games on their travels. Overall, the Gialloblu are the second-worst side on the road in the league, while they’ve shipped 24 goals in 12 away matches.

It’s not much of a surprise that Torino have been made favourites considering Chievo’s form. The visitors have been outsiders throughout their Serie A campaign so far, and they’re likely to struggle to get anything from this clash too. We expect the away side to come up short here, especially given that Torino have won their last four home clashes in the league – including meetings with Inter Milan and Atalanta.

The visitors have scored only eight times in their 12 trips this season. They’ve failed to score in 50% of their away games. Four of Chievo’s last five trips have seen them fail to score, while Torino have won their last four home matches without conceding a goal. The hosts have one of the league’s best defensive records, keeping a clean sheet in 44% of their league games this term. Il Toro have conceded less than a goal per game on average, and we see them getting another clean sheet in this clash. We’re backing Torino to claim another win to nil on Sunday.
