Hellas Verona
Verona vs. Torino kicks off at 17:00 [GMT] on Sunday, January 4, at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
Verona are 18th in Serie A with 12 points, while Torino sit 13th on 20 this season. The contrast highlights the different phases the two sides are in this campaign.
Verona's campaign has been challenging, with just three wins from their last 25 Serie A matches. That run has left them hovering in the relegation zone.
Their issues are underscored by a goal tally of 0.81 per match in the league, among the lowest in Serie A. That lack of firepower has weighed on their results.
Their struggles extend to home form, with three defeats in their last six matches at the Bentegodi. That pattern mirrors their overall difficulties this season.
Head-to-head consistency against Torino has been hard to find. In their last six meetings Verona have lost half of those matches, and the broader historical picture remains less favorable.
With just two points separating Verona from safety, a win could lift them out of the relegation zone. The stakes in this clash are clear as the season progresses.
A 3-5-2 formation with Daniel Mosquera and Giovane in attack is expected against II Toro. The setup underscores Verona's plans for the match.
Torino [LLWWL] have not been beaten in any of their last 12 Serie A matches against Verona, extending to 20 unbeaten games in 22 league encounters between the sides. This long-standing trend highlights Torino’s ability to avoid defeat in this fixture regardless of venue.
From Torino’s perspective, their league position reflects a season marked by inconsistency rather than dominance. While they sit five places above Verona, recent form has been uneven, with Torino losing 67% of their most recent fixtures across all competitions.
Their performances away from home have been particularly modest, having secured just four wins in their last 24 away Serie A matches. Despite this, Torino’s record at the Bentegodi stands out as a notable exception.
They have achieved four away wins against Verona in Serie A, and their ability to manage this particular matchup has contributed to their extended unbeaten run against the hosts. However, Torino’s attacking output on the road has been limited overall, with the team averaging just 0.88 goals per away match in the league.
With Verona searching for points to climb out of the bottom three and Torino aiming to stabilize their form in mid-table, this fixture brings together two teams whose recent histories are shaped more by resilience and caution than attacking fluency. A 3—5—2 formation with Giovanni Simeone and Che Adams in attack is expected against Verona.
