Torino vs Verona Predictions

• Verona have won once in eight games, losing two of their last three away
• Torino have won three of their last four games, scoring three in each of their last two
• Andrea Belotti has scored in four straight home games for Torino
• Verona have conceded twice or more in four of their last five away days

Torino looking up to Verona

Almost a year ago, we were previewing Torino’s clash with Debrecen in the second qualifying round of the Europa League. That encounter saw the Italian side come out as comfortable winners at the start of a promising season. At the same time, Verona were plotting a bid for Serie A survival on limited resources. A year later, plenty has changed.

Verona were – until quite recently – battling for a place in next season’s Europa League. Meanwhile, Torino have just saved themselves from next season’s Serie B. Despite that difference, their recent records have put a gloss on the Granata as they prepare to welcome a Verona side who have taken a bit of a dip.

Visitors coasting towards the break

The immediate future for Verona is another Serie A campaign, but how it will go is up in the air. Ivan Juric is hot property after keeping them up, with managerial positions at Fiorentina and potentially elsewhere tempting him. Many of Verona’s top players will depart, while their recent form paints them as a side who need a boost to survive next term.

Verona have won just once in their last eight games, while they are five without a win. Saturday brought a hard-fought draw with Atalanta, but their recent away trips have seen them draw with a poor Fiorentina team and lose at Roma and 19th placed Brescia. That’s taken them onto seven away defeats for the season, with just three wins. That has us backing against them in our predictions here.

Torino to boost home return

Torino have impressed with their home form of late, which has pulled them clear of trouble. While they’ve lost their last four on the road, Il Toro have claimed three wins from four at home since the restart to make sure they’re playing top-flight football next season. That form has been fired on by key forward Andrea Belotti, who has scored in all four of those games.

Belotti’s impact has seen Torino bag three goals in each of their last two games here. We are backing the hosts to secure the points, with only three sides producing fewer points than Verona across the last eight games. The visitors have conceded twice or more in four of their last five matches on the road, so we’re going with a home win and a 3-1 correct score prediction, with Verona scoring in six of their last seven in the league.
