Genoa vs Torino Prediction 22.02.2026 | Serie A

Genoa are enduring a challenging campaign, currently sitting 15th in the Serie A standings with 24 points, but they managed to keep their heads above water with a resilient goalless draw on the road against Cremonese last weekend.

Under the guidance of Daniele De Rossi, who took charge in November, the Rossoblu have gradually begun to define their defensive identity. This approach has been particularly evident in recent weeks, with Genoa keeping clean sheets in half of their last six league outings.

Sitting precariously just three points above the relegation zone, Genoa will need to find form quickly. Their task is made even tougher by a psychological hurdle in the form of Torino, against whom they have won just once in the last 13 league encounters — a run that includes a painful 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

On the positive side, injury concerns are minimal. Reserve goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist will be the only confirmed absentee for Sunday’s clash with Torino, while winter signing Justin Bijlow is expected to take his place between the posts.

Meanwhile, Torino prepare for their trip to Liguria amid a turbulent winter slump that has seen them slide down to 14th in the Serie A standings. Despite this dip, they maintain a comfortable six-point cushion above the relegation zone.

The Granata’s primary concern remains their porous defense, which has conceded an astonishing 44 goals in 25 league outings, giving them the league’s poorest defensive record despite keeping nine clean sheets this term.

Their struggles on the road have been particularly evident, with just three victories away from home this season. Torino have also developed a troubling habit of conceding late, shipping an average of 1.83 goals per away match — a vulnerability that could prove costly in the high-intensity atmosphere at Marassi.

Unlike their Sunday hosts, Torino face a significant injury list. Scottish striker Che Adams will be unavailable, while influential midfielder Ivan Ilić remains a major doubt following a recent minor injury.
