It's early days in the Serie A and both Genoa and Torino are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
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 Genoa and Torino.
Genoa form and stats
Only two Serie A home games for Genoa so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
An away draw last time out for Genoa, facing Sampdoria in a game that ended 1-1. Previous to that game, a Coppa Italia home match hosting Catanzaro in a game that was won 2-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Genoa have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn four and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Serie A game versus Roma in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
At Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, Genoa has the goal stats of 4-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Torino form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Serie A for Torino with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Torino's previous game was their home loss versus Lazio (3-4). That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Lecce (after extra-time) in the Coppa Italia.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Lazio was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Late heartbreak for Torino in the Lazio match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Torino playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Torino win, one draw and three defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Crotone in just four days.
Torino have the goal stats of 3-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Genoa two wins, two draws and Torino six victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
