Torino vs Genoa prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Torino host Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A on Friday, with both sides having disappointing starts to the season.

Torino have only managed to win two games this season and will be heading into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 loss to Napoli last time out. Ivan Juric's side are currently 12th in the table and will want to kickstart their season with a win against a poor Genoa side on Friday.

Genoa have been woeful this season and are currently 18th in the table. Davide Ballardini's side have only won one game this season and are in danger of being involved in a relegation battle for the rest of the campaign.

They have the chance of potentially exiting the relegation zone with a win on Friday.

Both teams will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make the game an interesting matchup.
