National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Torino or Genoa that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Torino and Genoa.
Torino form and stats
Torino was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Coppa Italia.Torino have collected 11 points from their Serie A home games so far after 3-2-4.
Happy days for Torino in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Roma that ended with a 2-0 victory. Ahead of that match, Torino lost 1-2 at home to SPAL.
Torino goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu did an outstanding job against Roma with 7 saves, so vital to securing the victory.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Torino have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Torino as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Bologna are visiting.
The Torino fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. On the other hand, Torino have conceded 12 goals.
Genoa form and stats
Last season their Coppa Italia adventure ended in the 4th round.There's been little loot from Genoa's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Serie A. Genoa only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 18 away games in a row.
The supporters enjoyed Genoa's previous game versus Sassuolo, a Serie A 2-1 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Inter's place.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Hellas Verona.
Genoa have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Genoa concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
Head 2 Head
