4 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Torino playing as the away team in the Serie A this season. Two points from the last two away games for Torino, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Serie A home defeat versus Milan with 0-7 on the scoreboard. Attacker Simone Zaza got a player rating of 7.04 in the game. "Man of the match" Zaza hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times. Torino lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above.
