THE LOWDOWN
TORINO
Under the management of Ivan Juric, Torino play a fairly underwhelming and unconvincing style of football that, despite intending to be easy on the eye with a progressive style of football, the Piedmont-based club have struggled in attack throughout his tenure and they have managed just 20 goals in 21 games so far this season.
Only the bottom two teams in Serie A, Empoli and Salernitana, have scored fewer than Torino so far this season. The home team come into this one on the back of a steady and strong run of form, though, with their 2-1 defeat of struggling Cagliari in their most recent outing meaning they have suffered just one loss in their last eight matches.
SALERNITANA
It has been a really poor campaign for Salernitana so far this season as they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting rock-bottom in Serie A and they are six points adrift of safety as they head into the 23rd match day of the 2023/24 campaign, despite Filippo Inzaghi replacing Paulo Sousa mid-way through the campaign.
The visitors come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home to Roma in their most recent outing, last weekend, with Grigoris Kastanos scoring a consolation after being 2-0 down in that game. They have now suffered four successive defeats and they have been poor at the back with 44 goals conceded in 22 matches.

THE PREDICTION
As mentioned, only two teams have scored fewer goals than Torino so far this season and one of those are their opponents with just 39 goals notched between these two sides. They are also in very different and contrasting form with Torino the overwhelming favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage, despite their general lack of consistency and fluency in the attacking third of the pitch.
TIP: TORINO TO WIN
