Torino vs Verona Prediction 02.10.2023

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 02.10.2023
• Kickoff: 17:30 UTC +1 / 18:30 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin)

This will be a great test for the home team and their coach Ivan Juric against his former club. Both clubs started the new campaign more or less in the same style. Torino has collected 6 points so far, with the same number of wins, losses and draws. In the last two matches, they met against the Roman clubs, in which they won only one point. After a 1-1 draw at home against Roma, in the last round they were defeated by Lazio at the Olimpico Stadium 2:0. In that match, nothing went right for the Turin club so in the end they were deservedly defeated.

On the other hand, the primary goal of Verona is to ensure survival in the league in a much easier way than it was the case last season when they saved themselves from relegation from the league at the last moment. For now, they are doing quite well in that, because they already have two wins and 7 points won. A little alarm was raised in recent weeks because the last 4 matches won only one point. We will see if they can make a good result in the upcoming match and put out the current fire.

Torino vs Verona pick: HOME TEAM TO WIN

At the start of the season, Torino shows performances in line with expectations. The team's small problem is insufficient efficiency, but I expect them to fix that as the season progresses. Duvan Zapata was brought in from Atalanta, who immediately took his place in the heart of the attack and he should be in charge of goals, and the young creative midfielder Ivan Ilic, who arrived as a big reinforcement in the summer transfer window from Verona. The advantage in this match should be brought by the coach of the home team, who worked in Verona for two years and knows these players well. In addition, Torino's advantage lies in talent and playing quality, so we don't think they will have many problems to achieve another three points.
