TORINO v CROTONE
Saturday 15th April 2017 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Mid-table Torino have suffered just one defeat at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino throughout this Serie A campaign so far, and they’ll no doubt be confident they can extend this record this afternoon when they play host to third from bottom club Crotone.
Torino bring a three-match unbeaten run into this clash on the back of draws with Inter Milan and Udinese along with last weekend’s 3-2 win away at Cagliari, so confidence is going to be reasonably high for this encounter.
In addition, Torino possess a strong home record of 8-6-1 36/21 under their belts to date, and they’re unbeaten in their last seven league matches on home turf which includes wins over Genoa, Pescara and Palermo.
Visitors Crotone have had to endure a difficult campaign in the Italian top flight this term as they sit third from bottom in Serie A, but they have recently shown signs of a recovery as they’ve registered back-to-back wins over Chievo (away) and Inter Milan (at home).
However, the fact remains that four of their five Serie A wins so far have been recorded at their Stadio Ezio Scida and home form appears to be their best chance of top flight survival, particularly when you consider their poor away record at this level.
Crotone possess a poor record of 1-2-12 9/28 on the road this term with only Empoli (6 goals) scoring fewer goals on their travels than today’s visitors Crotone in the whole division.
This should therefore be a straightforward victory for the home side.
Pick: Torino to win @ 1.60 Betfair
