In the standings, Torino sits in 12th place with 15 points. Notably, the team has conceded 13 goals in away matches this Serie A season, only better than Verona (16) and Venezia (17).

Genoa vs. Torino: Match Prediction
Since Patrick Vieira took over as head coach, Genoa has earned four points in two matches, and a home fixture against Torino provides a good opportunity to build on that success. At home, Genoa often achieves positive results: in their last 11 home Serie A matches, the club has lost only three times (3 wins, 5 draws). Notably, the Genoese lost to strong teams Fiorentina (0-1) and Juventus (0-3) in two of those cases. Additionally, they did not lose to Roma (1-1) and Inter (2-2) in this period.
Torino has struggled away from home: they have lost their last four away league matches. Furthermore, in the last two head-to-head meetings at Genoa's stadium in Serie A, Torino has not won or scored a goal (0-1 and 0-0). Considering all pre-match factors, I expect a solid performance from Genoa, leading to a positive result. My prediction: Genoa with a handicap (0)
