5 years ago 692

Torino will make a trip to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris to face Genoa on Friday, as they will be looking to secure a spot in the Conference League Qualification for next season, at a time when the hosts will be hoping to kickstart their fight against relegation.

Genoa are currently sitting 19th in the table on 19 points, six points adrift of safety with nine matches to play.

They picked up a point in their last Serie A match, drawing 0-0 at Gewiss Stadium against Atalanta, extending their winless run to 26 matches.

A first home victory of the Serie A has so far proved elusive for Genoa, who have eight draws and six losses from 14 games.

They will be looking to reverse a 16-match home winless run dating to May 2021 against Sassuolo.

With Genoa being led by Destro, who is the team’s top scorer with nine goals, they have drawn each of their last six league matches.

In the last meeting between the teams at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in October, Torino emerged victorious 3-2.

After Antonio Sanabria’s first for Torino in the 14th minute, Tommaso Pobega and Josip Brekalo also got on the scoresheet, while Mattia Destro and Felipe Caicedo scored their own for Genoa.

Meanwhile, Torino played out a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in their last Serie A match to extend their winless run to seven, leaving them 11th on 35 points.

Toro have scored 34 goals and conceded 29 through 28 matches, leaving them trailling sixth-placed Atalanta by 13 points for a spot in the Conference League Qualifiers.

Torino have two wins, four draws and seven losses on the road this season in the league matches, and will be looking to reverse a three-match away winless run.

Prediction and Odds
