Torino Preview – Can Torino pull further away from bottom three?
Thursday’s hosts, Torino, secured a recent and much-needed three points with a 3-1 home win against fellow strugglers, Brescia, but the subsequent 3-1 loss away from home at Inter Milan on Monday night has the hosts nervously looking over their shoulders once again.
Torino currently occupy 16th place on the Serie A ladder and hold a valuable five-point cushion above third from bottom outfit, Lecce, but defeat against Genoa on Thursday evening could dump the hosts closer to the relegation zone, and as recent results have been fairly poor, Torino will be desperate for a win here.
Indeed, four defeats from their last five matches has cast a shadow upon Torino’s run-in and this upcoming clash with Genoa has now become a ‘must-win’ match for the hosts as they look to improve an overall home record which stands at an indifferent looking 6-3-7 17/26 but includes winning two of their last three matches with victories over Udinese and Brescia.
Genoa Preview – Can Genoa claim back-to-back wins?
Following a welcome 2-0 home win against SPAL on the weekend, Genoa will be going in search of back-to-back wins in Serie A for only the second time in this season’s campaign as they make their way to Genova for this crucial relegation clash with Genoa.
That win against SPAL ended a run of five league matches without a win for the visitors, a sequence which included defeats to Parma, Juventus and Napoli in 4-1, 3-1 and 2-1 defeats respectively, but Genoa will take heart from the fact that they’re unbeaten in their last six matches on their travels in Serie A.
Although this is an improvement on the road, the fact still remains that Genoa have picked up just two away wins from their last 25 matches away from home which doesn’t lend itself to an automatic three points for the visitors here; however, 13 of Genoa’s 16 away matches have also seen three goals or more scored to date.
