Torino form and stats

In the previous season, Torino's league results were 14 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses, results that produced 10th place in the Serie A. From these 38 matches they scored {42 goals} and gave away 41. Appearing as the host team in the former season Torino produced 5-7-7 (win-draw-lost) with {15 goals} and 19 conceded.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Torino's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 9 games, won 4 matches, drawn 4 and lost 1.

It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Torino, who have participated in four training matches. Torino have won 2 of these, drawn 1 and were beaten in 1 game.

Cagliari form and stats

A job perfectly done for Cagliari last season as they secured promotion from Serie B. With a grand total of 15 wins, 15 draws and 8 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 4 were in away matches.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Cagliari playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 2 away wins, 1 draw and 1 home win.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Cagliari have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats from four fixtures.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - four - three (Torino wins - draws - Cagliari wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less. The games between these teams have sometimes been brutal, having seen 5 sending-offs from the last ten encounters.
