Torino form and stats

Torino's results here at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in the Serie A have been very modest with 0 victories, 7 draws and 5 defeats. With twelve home Serie A games in a row without a win, the Torino fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Atalanta game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Torino crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Inter here at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in a Serie A match. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-4 away at Crotone.

Torino are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Sampdoria awaits in four days.

Torino has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Torino defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Hamed Junior Traorè came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Hellas Verona last time out, making the manager R. De Zerbi feel like a tactical genius.
