Torino currently sits in 15th place in the league with 4 games left to play. Torino has not finished in a league position lower than this since its 2012/13 season. Meaning a finish this far down the table has only highlighted the dismal season they’ve had so far.
In their last six games, they have seen 2 wins and 4 losses. Scoring 9 and conceding 2 goals a game on average.
A story of their season so far has been the defense. Torino, unfortunately, boasts the 5th worst (62 goals) defense in the league, only topped by the clubs in the bottom four clubs. Relegation form indeed by that category, and very hard to rely on the likes of talisman Andrea Belotti when the side continues to concede.
The man in question: Andrea Belotti has 16 goals and 3 assists so far this season, a valiant effort and one of the main reasons Torino doesn’t see themselves lower down the table.
However, their output of 1.2 goals per game will always be an uphill battle when they concede 1.8 goals per game. With an overall goal difference of -21. Torino enters games with an expectation to concede.
