There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie A table so far. Here's the Torino - Bologna latest:

Torino have less rest than Bologna in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Coppa Italia game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Genoa, was also a home game here at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The away team is better rested.

Torino form and stats

Torino have played 9 Serie A games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-4 (wins-draws-losses).

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Genoa in the Coppa Italia last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Roma and winning 2-0.

A disappointing finish for Torino in their match versus Genoa as their 5-3 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 1-1 full time score.

This is expected to be a close game, with Torino perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Torino as a small favourite), we find nine games. Torino has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

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.

Bologna form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Bologna, as they have won on their previous two travels.

Bologna's last game was the home draw against Fiorentina (1-1). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Lecce at their stadium, the result 3-2.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Bologna in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Bologna, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Bologna has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 14 goals from 9 games. Bologna have conceded 16 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
