Verona vs Sassuolo Prediction & Tips
After failing to win at Sassuolo (1-1), Torino have seen their slim hopes of qualifying for Europe dented after a two-game winless streak (E1, P1) that has left them ten points off the top six in Serie A (SA) before this matchday. Coach Ivan Jurić will be looking to get them back on track for the visit of Roma, and is confident that they “can do well, with the team expressing their best qualities in front of the home fans.”
This is a game they have certainly enjoyed hosting over the years (G37, E28, P16), while Torino have only lost two of their last eight SA home games (G4, E2). Continuing that streak may depend on finding more potency in front of goal, as “Il Toro” (11 goals) has only beaten Sampdoria and Cremonese at home this season.
Roma suffer similar problems, scoring the fewest goals (38) among the top seven in the standings. Still, Jose Mourinho’s men continued their quest to finish inside the UEFA Champions League places with a 3-0 win over Sampdoria that left their coach “satisfied”, as his side were level on points with fourth-placed Inter before this matchday.
One thing that will surely bother Mourinho is his team’s away form, as the “Giallorossi” have failed to win any of their last six away games in all competitions (E2, P4). Four of those engagements occurred in the league, leaving Roma on the verge of a five-game winless away streak in SA for the first time since the end of the 2020/21 season.
Players to watch: Torino striker Antonio Sanabria will look to find his shooting boots in front of his home crowd, as seven of his eight SA goals this season have come on the road. He will battle for the spotlight with Paulo Dybala, who is unbeaten in 18 personal meetings against Torino (G11, E7).
Standout Fact: Torino’s home games produce fewer goals than those involving any other team in the division, with just 23 scored in their 13 such engagements this season.
