Betting on Torino F.C.
In the last 10 games Torino has turned around a very slow start to the season and for the second half of the season should have no problem staying in the middle of the standings.
After losing only two of their last 10 matches, Ivan Jurić’s side occupies eighth place in the competition with 27 points, a rather interesting share but still far behind Roma’s 37 for the Conference League spot.
However, hope remains alive as el Toro has a chance to redeem themselves this weekend in front of their home fans, who have not had much to cheer for this season.
In their nine home games, Torino has only earned 12 points and has conceded just six goals, but their seven goals scored is the third-worst record for a home team this season. On the road, they have scored 14 times.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Vanja Milinkovic-Savic; Perr Schuurs, Ricardo Rodriguez, Alessandro Buongiorno; Wilfried Singo, Samuele Ricci, Karol Linetty, Mergim Vojvoda; Aleksey Miranchuk, Nikola Vlasic; Demba Seck.
Betting on Udinese Calcio
Despite a recent run of bad results, and like their opponents, Udinese still finds itself in the middle of the Serie A standings.
With just one win in their last 12 matches, four losses, and seven draws (one to Verona at home last week), they are struggling to keep up with the competition.
That amount of draws has kept them far from the Conference League spots. Their seventh place position with 29 points may seem promising, but with Roma already 8 points ahead, they risk falling behind even further if they don’t improve.
On a positive note, Udinese’s away form has been solid, earning 15 points in 10 games on the road with only three losses, ranking them seventh best in the league.
Possible Udinese lineup (3-5-2): Marco Silvestri; Rodrigo Becão, Jaka Bijol, Nehuén Pérez; Kingsley Ehizibue, Lazar Samardžić, Walace, Tolgay Arslan, Iyenoma Udogie; Isaac Success, Beto.
JefeBet Prediction
Although their games may not be high-scoring, both Torino and Udinese have shown a tendency to find the back of the net this season.
Having been held scoreless in only five matches in the current Serie A, it’s likely that we’ll see some scoring action, even if it’s not a barrage of goals.
Prediction: Both teams score (TOR 1 – UDI 1).
