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

Fresh off the back of crashing out of the Coppa Italia, Torino play host to Hellas Verona on matchday 18 of Serie A on Sunday.

Torino will be desperate to get one over the visitors having failed to taste victory in any of their previous eight encounters since 2015.

Torino saw their Coppa Italia campaign come to an end on Thursday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sampdoria away from home.

They now turn their attention back to Serie A, where they are on a three-game unbeaten run, claiming two draws and a 2-1 win over Bologna in their recent outings.

With 22 points from 17 games, Torino are currently 13th in the Serie A table, one point and one place behind Sunday’s visitors.

Similarly, Hellas Verona were dumped out of the Coppa Italia last time out courtesy of a thrilling 4-3 defeat against Empoli.

This followed a 2-1 loss at the hands of Atalanta on December 12 which saw their two-game unbeaten run come to an end.

Hellas Verona will desperately be looking to arrest their slump in form. It won't be straightforward as they have failed to defeat their next opponents in seven of their last eight meetings.
