Torino
Paolo Vanoli's side earned a draw with Atalanta in their last match, finishing 1-1. As a result, Torino extended their unbeaten run in the league to six matches. However, the club managed only one win and five draws during this stretch. Notably, in 13 of their last 15 Serie A matches, Torino has failed to score more than one goal.

Torino vs. Genoa: Match Prediction
At home, Torino often opts for a defensive strategy, focusing on minimizing defensive errors. Their home matches are rarely high-scoring: in 7 of their last 8 home Serie A games, Torino has scored a maximum of one goal, failing to score at all in four of these matches. Meanwhile, in 15 of their last 17 home league games, they have conceded no more than one goal, achieving nine clean sheets during this period.
Genoa tends to adopt a similar style, especially in away fixtures. In 10 of their last 12 away Serie A matches, they have scored a maximum of one goal, failing to score in five of these games. However, their defense has been solid, keeping four clean sheets in their last seven away league matches.
I expect this to be a low-scoring match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
