Genoa vs Torino Prediction & Betting Tips (13 January)

Genoa, 12th, can come back to within 3 lengths of Torino, 8th, in the event of a victory this weekend. Gilardino's team has been undefeated for a month and has taken off in a relegation zone which is 7 units behind. Guomundsson's partners 8 goals have just taken 6 points in the last 4 days of the championship against Juventus Turin 1-1, Sassuolo 1-2, Inter Milan 1-1 and Bologna 1-1 on January 5 last. The feat is significant for Genoa who have managed to keep 3 Top 5 teams in check in recent weeks.

The arrival of Torino could allow the Genoa club to take the 3 points and get closer to the soft underbelly of the ranking. The Toro, just 3 points from a European place, presents a balanced record over the last 3 days with 1 draw against Udinese 1-1, 1 defeat on the field of Fiorentina 1-0 and 1 large victory in front of a Naples team adrift this season 3-0. However, the Turin club is in difficulty away where it has only taken 2 points at Monza 1-1 and at Frosinone 0-0 in its last 4 trips losing 2-0 to Bologna and 1-0 on the Fiorentina pitch. A 5th trip in a row without a victory for Zapata's teammates 4 goals?

It would be fair to say that Genoa have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 12 Serie A matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 12 Torino away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
