Torino vs Crotone Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Serie A desperately needed something to make the end of the season interesting, and Crotone answered that call. While few thought the Calabrians would have any chance of retaining their top flight status in their debut season at this level, they’re now just three points shy of safety. That’s despite taking only a single point from their first nine after winning promotion to this division. However, with seven games left, Crotone head to Torino hoping to move level on points with Empoli.

Crotone claimed a 2-1 over Inter Milan last weekend, a result which has sparked their hopes of staying in Serie A. That victory came just a week after their first away success of the campaign, meaning they’ve picked up 40% of their league wins in the space of seven days. Scoring four goals in that time was another boost for the Calabrians, who now have a chance to shake up the bottom four, which hasn’t changed shape since November. They’ll be hoping that Torino’s lack of ambition in the final stages of the season will work in their favour.

However, this Torino are a free flowing side, they’re the fourth highest scoring side in Serie A this term. Their problems have been at the back, but with little to play for Il Toro might just throw everything forward and make the most of their incredible attacking riches. They’ve certainly not been holding back of late, having scored two or more goals in seven of their last eight league outings. The hosts average 2.4 goals per game at their own ground, and they should continue that against a Crotone side who are without a clean sheet on their travels this term.

Torino come in to this game having seen over 2.5 goals in 80% of their home matches, while 60% of Crotone’s trips have seen at least three goals scored. The hosts have seen four goals or more scored in their last eight Serie A outings, and we’re backing that to continue against a Crotone side who need to build on their momentum and push for survival. We’re backing four or more goals in this clash – with a refund if just three are scored – which is priced at 47/50 with bet365.
