"Starting with the hosts, eventually falling short last season as they missed out on the chance to book a top-half finish among Italy's elite, Torino are desperate to go one-step further this time around. Last seen putting in what was a sensational performance as they clinched a 1-0 victory at home against reigning Serie A champions Napoli, Marco Baroni's men will be dreaming of a repeat performance here."
"Heading into October's International break with a 3-3 stalemate away at Italian giants Lazio, the former Verona boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous four domestic appearances across all competitions. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure on September 25th as they secured a 1-0 win against Pisa, it should also be highlighted that Torino have notched consecutive victories in front of their own supporters for the first time since March."
"As for the visitors, enduring what has been a public crisis since opening up the new campaign, it is no secret that Genoa are widely regarded as a standout relegation contender this time around. Forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against Parma when returning from October's international break last weekend, Patrick Vieira has some mounting pressure on his shoulders in Liguria."
Torino aim to secure consecutive Serie A victories when they host Genoa in Turin. Torino missed a top-half finish last season and now seek improvement under Marco Baroni after a 1-0 home win over Napoli. The squad has suffered only one defeat in their last four domestic matches and recorded a Coppa Italia win over Pisa, plus consecutive home victories for the first time since March. Genoa sit rock-bottom with three points and face mounting pressure under Patrick Vieira following a 0-0 draw with Parma and recent defeats that underline attacking problems.
