Genoa-Torino Statistical Preview

Probable Lineups

Team News

Genoa

• Thomas Manfredini is suspended, so Alessandro Gamberini will take his place in the three-man defence.
• After missing the trip to Milan, Juraj Kucka is working hard to be available to play against Torino.

Torino

• Giovanni Pasquale is favourite over Salvatore Masiello to replace Danilo D’Ambrosio on the left flank.
• Despite his brace against Catania in the previous round, Omar El Kaddouri could be sidelined in favour of Ciro Immobile and Alessio Cerci up front.

Match Facts

• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Genoa’s last 10 games in Serie A.
• Genoa have won their last 3 home matches in Serie A.
• Torino have failed to win 13 of their last 14 away matches in Serie A.
• Torino have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 away matches in Serie A.
• Genoa are undefeated in their last 7 matches against Torino in all competitions.

Prediction

• Genoa are unbeaten in their last four matches, in which they have picked up 10 points, only dropping points against AC Milan in the 1-1 draw at the San Siro.
• Toro have just overcome a 8-game winless streak by defeating Catania on home soil and thus putting more distance between them and the relegation zone.
• This game will probably see some quick, offensive football by both teams, who will look to secure maximum points by controlling the two flanks. Alessio Cerci helped himself to an assist in the victory against Catania but didn’t take part to the scoring spree, so he will look to bet here, but Genoa have kept three clean sheets in their last four games.
