Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Torino and Genoa face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Stadio Olimpico di Torino on Saturday. Il Toro did well to spoil Atalanta’s party in Bergamo at the weekend, with the team coming from three goals behind to share the spoils with the Orobici. Davide Nicola’s troops are eager to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and seeing that Sanabria (quarantine) is the only absentee in the home team, we are positive that the hosts will find the net in Saturday’s clash.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 2-1 win over Napoli. Genoa are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in the Serie A, and given their attacking displays in back-to-back wins over Crotone and Napoli, punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. Badelj is banned for the visitors, while Paleari, Biraschi, Cassata, and Shomurodov are all sidelined with injuries.
