Torino form and stats
Last season their Coppa Italia adventure ended in the quarter-finals.Torino have collected 1 point from their Serie A home games so far after 0-1-3.
The fans are hoping that Torino will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the Serie A game against Inter. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Crotone that ended 0-0.
Did Torino get overconfident in their match against Inter? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-4 defeat. A goal frenzy last time out for Torino, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Inter. Fun stuff to watch!
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Sampdoria in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
The Torino fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Torino having conceded 11 goals here at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino so far.
Virtus Entella form and stats
Entella was sent out of Coppa Italia in the 2nd round last season.0-4-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Virtus Entella in their Serie B matches away. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Entella, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Empoli game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Pordenone game have they lost an away game, meaning Entella has taken points from seven away matches in a row.
Virtus Entella are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Ascoli. A 0-2 loss hosting Venezia before that.
The draw against Ascoli came from a losing position. The Entella manager B. Tedino brought on Matteo Mancosu as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
A quick return to home after this game, as Entella are hosting SPAL in the Serie B only four days away.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Entella as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
