Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After suffering a 2-0 loss at Milan, Venezia will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they take on Torino at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Monday evening. The newcomers sit in the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Torino, and, no doubt, they will find it hard to secure the elite division survival. All Lezzerini, Fiordilino, Sigurdsson, and Haps are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Il Toro, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team beating both Salernitana and Sassuolo, while sharing the spoils with Lazio. All Izzo, Belotti, Zaza, and Praet are injured for the visitors, but seeing that they are high on spirits ahead of the trip to Venezia, we are tempted to put our money on Ivan Juric’s troops.
