The Matchday 8 clash in Serie A between Torino and Genoa will take place on October 26 at the Olimpico Grande Torino Stadium in Turin. Torino vs. Genoa: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Torino
Marco Baroni's side secured a home victory against Napoli in the last round (1-0). This win marked Torino's first triumph in their last four Serie A matches (1 draw, 2 losses). Additionally, the team kept a clean sheet for the third time in the current championship, although they have conceded 13 goals this season, the worst record in the league. In the standings, Torino sits 14th with eight points.
- The club has failed to win in 6 of their last 8 home matches in Serie A (3 draws, 3 losses).
- At least one opponent failed to score in 7 of Torino's last 9 home league matches.

Predicted lineup for Torino (4-5-1)
Franco Israel – Niels Nkunku, Guillermo Maripan, Saúl Coco, Marcus Pedersen – Cesare Casadei, Nikola Vlašić, Kristjan Asllani, Adrien Tameze, Giovanni Simeone – Che Adams.
Defenders Niels Nkunku and Perr Schuurs will miss the match due to injuries.
Genoa
Patrick Vieira's side couldn't overcome Parma at home in the last round, even playing with a numerical advantage for more than a half (0-0). As a result, Genoa extended their winless streak in the league to seven matches (3 draws, 4 losses), failing to score in four of those games. The club has three points and sits second to last in the standings.
- The team has not won in 13 of their last 14 away Serie A matches (6 draws, 7 losses).
- Both teams scored in the club's last five away league matches.
- Genoa conceded exactly 1 or 2 goals in their last six away Serie A matches.
Predicted lineup for Genoa (4-5-1)
Nicola Leali – Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Leo Østigård, Johan Vásquez, Stefano Sabelli – Vitinha, Morten Frendrup, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Patrizio Masini, Mikael Ellertsson – Caleb Ekuban.

Torino vs. Genoa: Match Prediction
Even at home, Torino rarely delights their fans with winning results. The team primarily struggles with defensive reliability; in their last 18 home Serie A matches, Torino has kept a clean sheet only six times. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the club has conceded the most goals in the current championship – 13 goals.
Genoa, while not boasting many away victories, strives to be active in attack and has been scoring regularly of late. In their last five away Serie A matches, Genoa has never left the pitch without scoring, facing the reigning champion Napoli twice during this period.
Patrick Vieira's team scored against Torino away in the last championship, and I expect a productive performance from Genoa's attack this time. My prediction: Genoa Individual Total Over 0.5
