Prediction: 2-1
Genoa
Stadio Olimpico di Torino will host Friday’s football game between Torino and Genoa. Il Toro aim to bounce back from an expected 1-0 loss to Napoli, with the team eyeing their third win of the season. All Mandragora, Verdi, and Pjaca remain in the recovery room, while fit-again attacker Belotti should be recalled to the starting XI. The Rossoblu, on the other hand, aim to escape the relegation zone.
Genoa head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo, and they are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run in the Italian top flight. Genoa, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. It has to be noted that all Maksimovic, Vanheusden, Hernani, and Cassata are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
