Match Prediction: Torino vs. Verona
This season, Paolo Zanetti's team has not been dazzling in attack and cannot boast high scoring. Even at home, Torino does not score much: in 10 of their 14 home matches this season, the team has not broken through the opponent's defense more than once, failing to score at all in five cases. However, the team is reliable at their own goal: in their last 20 home Serie A matches, Torino has conceded more than one goal only twice.
Verona also struggles in attack, especially on the road. In their last 12 away league matches, the team has only scored more than one goal twice and has failed to score in five games during this period. At the same time, Verona has improved defensively, conceding only four goals in their last five away Serie A matches.
I don't expect an open game, so I anticipate a low-scoring match. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
