Prediction: 1-2
Torino
After holding Fiorentina to a goalless draw at Stadio Artemio Franchi, Venezia will look to record their first win of the season when they take on Torino on Matchday 3. I Lagunari produced a fine display against the Viola, but they face a difficult task against Torino, who are eyeing a spot in European competitions. Joel Pohjanpalo remains on the sidelines with injury, while midfielder Gianluca Busio faces race against clock to be fit for Friday’s game.
Il Toro, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-1 win over Atalanta and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Venezia. Torino seem to be more of a team than Venezia and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. Defender Perr Schuurs is sidelined with injury, while both Nikola Vlasic and Gvidas Gineitis are major doubts.
