Torino form and stats
Overall Serie A stats at home this season for Torino are 4-2-5 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Torino with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Bologna game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Torino are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, having lost their two previous games here.
The Torino fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino: A 1-3 defeat against Sampdoria (placed 16th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Lecce.
