Torino Preview – Can Torino back up Roma win?
Sunday’s hosts, Torino, pulled a great result out of the bag last weekend when they recorded a 2-0 win away from home at 4th placed Roma which will give the hosts plenty of confidence in getting a result here on Sunday against Bologna.
However, although Torino have lost just 1 of their last 5 matches overall in Serie A which includes wins against Genoa, Fiorentina and Roma, they haven’t had it all their own way on home turf at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino as they’ve actually registered more wins on the road than in their own backyard so far this season.
4 of Torino’s total of 7 league wins in the Italian top flight so far this term have been achieved on their travels, while an overall home record of 3-2-4 9/12 is very underwhelming indeed and includes just 1 win out of their last 6 matches which was a 2-1 win against 15th placed Fiorentina.
Recent losses though to Juventus, Inter Milan and particularly bottom club SPAL show that this upcoming clash against Bologna may not be plain sailing at all for the hosts in this encounter.
Bologna Preview – Can Bologna grab point?
The visitors certainly look an improved unit of late as Bologna have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches overall in the Italian top flight which was a 3-2 loss at home to AC Milan, but recent wins against 8th placed Napoli 2-1 away, 5th placed Atalanta 2-1 at home and a 3-2 win at Lecce show that Bologna are very capable of grinding out results.
Mid-table Bologna find themselves just one league position and 1 point adrift of their Sunday’s hosts, Torino, thanks to this improved sequence of results and although their away record also reads a fairly average looking 3-2-4 14/16, they’ve improved of late on the road.
Back-to-back away wins at Napoli and Lecce in recent times should give the visitors plenty of encouragement ahead of their trip to Torino this Sunday, and as mentioned below, they’ve lost just 1 of their last 5 meetings against Torino.
