Torino Preview – Can Torino make most of home soil?
Having lost their last four away matches on the trot in the Italian top flight, Thursday’s hosts, Torino, will no doubt be looking forward to returning to their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino for this evening’s clash against Empoli as the hosts seek to make the most of home advantage.
Despite defeats on the road at Napoli, AC Milan, Spezia and Roma, a difficult sequence of fixtures anyway, Torino have impressed in recent times at home as the hosts have collected three wins on the trot which has helped to a mid-table position on the Serie A ladder.
Victories against Genoa, Sampdoria and Udinese will give Torino confidence while goals may also feature as five of Torino’s last seven home games have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Empoli Preview – Can Empoli continue run on road?
Empoli currently occupy 12th place in Serie A and will head into this midweek clash against Torino on the back of a 2-1 home win against Fiorentina last weekend, while the visitors have actually performed better away from home this season.
Four of Empoli’s six away wins this season have been achieved on the road where they’ve collected wins at Juventus, Cagliari, Salernitana and Sassuolo while six of Empoli’s last nine away games have also seen over 2.5 goals scored.
The previous two meetings have seen 3 goals or more scored.
