Prediction: 2-1
Bologna
Following a 1-1 draw with Cagliari, Torino will look to put an end to their three-match winless run when they take on Bologna on Matchday 17. Il Toro are eager to climb to the top half of the table, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Defender Wilfried Singo is back from suspension, while all Mandragora, Kone, Verdi, Belotti, and Djidji miss out with injuries.
Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Fiorentina. Bologna are eyeing their third consecutive away win in the Serie A, but seeing that key attacker Marko Arnautovic remains in the recovery, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Dominguez is banned for the match, while all Mbaye, Schouten, and Kingsley are out of contention with injuries.
