Chievo VeronaWith Chievo having not won in their last three outings, it is undoubtedly Torino who are the firm favourites for victory, with the game set to attract a large amount of interest from punters. However, with both teams having won the same amount of matches so far this season, it is well worth checking out our top betting tip in the build-up to kick-off. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, as well as the head-to-head record between the two clubs.
Torino Team News & Form
Having finished ninth in the table last season, manager Siniša Mihajlović will be looking to lead his team to an improved position this time around, with home clashes against teams such as Chievo the type of fixture that they need to win. Captain Andrea Belotti was the star of the show last season, however the Italian international has failed to find his best form this time around. Former Tottenham Hotspur youngster Iago Falque has stepped up, scoring five Serie A goals already. Elsewhere, the likes of M’Baye Niang, Adem Ljajic and Tomas Rincon are among the standout players for the home side.
Chievo Team News & Form
Three matches without a victory have halted Chievo’s progress, with manager Rolando Maran hoping that the international break will have done his side some good ahead of their clash with Torino. They come into the match off the back of a battling draw with league leaders Napoli, where Chievo showed a huge amount of desire and defensive quality. Striker Roberto Inglese has four Serie A goals to his name this season, with the 25-year-old potentially providing the biggest attacking threat for the visitors.
Head to Head
Torino won both meetings between the two sides last season, including an impressive 3-1 success away from home. However, Chievo defeated Torino 2-1 away from home back in 2016, demonstrating that they are capable of defeating them again next weekend.
