Torino
Torino are not producing their best results in the current Italian league campaign. After 24 matches, the team sit only 13th on 27 points. The club’s main issue has been poor defending: the hosts have conceded 42 goals, which makes them the league’s worst side at the back. In their last match, Torino drew with Fiorentina (2:2). After going out of the Coppa Italia, the club will now focus on the league, and the coaching staff’s key task is to improve the defensive performance.
- In 4 of Torino’s last 5 league matches, at least one team failed to score.
- The club have conceded at least twice in 5 of their previous 6 Serie A games.
- A first-half goal was scored in 7 of the hosts’ last 8 matches in this competition.
Potential Torino Lineup (3-5-2)*
Alberto Paleari – Saul Coco, Guillermo Maripan, Luca Marianucci – Rafael Obrador, Gvidas Gineitis, Emirhan Ilkhan, Cesare Casadei, Valentino Lazaro – Che Adams, Sandro Kulenovic
Defender Ardian Ismajli, midfielder Ivan Ilic and forward Zanos Savva will miss the match through injury.
Bologna
Bologna are in 10th place in the Italian Serie A standings. In the previous round, the team suffered a surprise home defeat to Parma (0:1). It was their fourth straight loss in the league, with the club conceding nine goals in that run. Bologna’s involvement in European competition makes their schedule more demanding, which affects the team’s effectiveness. After a solid start to the season, Vincenzo Italiano’s men have now slipped into mid-table.
- Bologna have conceded at least one goal in 12 straight league matches.
- At least two goals were scored in each of the team’s last 10 away games in Serie A.
- Both teams scored in the club’s previous five away matches in this competition.
Potential Bologna Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Lukasz Skorupski – Joao Mario, Jhon Lucumi, Thorbjorn Heggem, Charalampos Lykogiannis – Remo Freuler, Tommaso Pobega – Federico Bernardeschi, Lewis Ferguson, Jonathan Rowe – Thijs Dallinga
Defenders Charalampos Lykogiannis, Charalampos Lykogiannis and Thorbjorn Heggem are injured. Midfielder Tommaso Pobega is suspended.

Torino vs Bologna: Match Prediction
Despite the fact that Bologna have failed to pick up points over the last four matchdays, the team still remain 10th in the league. Vincenzo Italiano’s men have performed well away from home, sitting seventh in the away table in the Italian Serie A. In 12 matches on the road, Bologna have shown strong attacking play, scoring 20 goals.
As for the home team, they have conceded in 7 of their last 9 home league matches. What is more, Torino have already shipped 42 goals, and that is the worst record in the division. With such a weak defence, the club will find it difficult to contain the attacks of their next opponents, especially as Bologna have scored against them in 8 of their previous 12 Serie A head-to-head meetings.
Prediction: Bologna, over 1 goals
* For each team, the starting line-up listed is from their previous match in this competition.
