Hellas Verona FC - Torino predictions and free betting tips [12/05/2024]

On Sunday, 12th May as part of the 36th round of the Italian Serie A, "Verona" will host "Torino" on their pitch. After their victory over "Fiorentina" last week, the "Gialloblu" could secure themselves from relegation this weekend, however, the visitors are still motivated battling for a finish within the Europa League zone.

Stadium

The match will take place in Verona at the Marc Antonio Bentegodi stadium.

"Verona"

Currently, "Verona" holds the 14th position in the Serie A standings and is 4 points away from the relegation zone. With 3 rounds left until the end of the championship, the "Mastiffs" have every chance to secure their stay in the elite division this weekend. Recently, Marco Baroni's collective has breathed new life into themselves, losing only one of their last 4 matches, winning twice and drawing once. During this period, the hosts demonstrated decent results away from home, gaining a point in the clash with "Atalanta" (2:2) and narrowly losing to "Lazio" (1:0).

At home, "Verona" successively dealt with "Udinese" (1:0) and "Fiorentina" (2:1) thanks to goals from Lazovic and Noslin. Moreover, these two victories within the walls of Marc Antonio Bentegodi equals as many as in the 12 previous home encounters! The Gialloblu fans will certainly be pleased by the fact that their favourites have left the field without a goal only once in the last nine rounds. 

"Torino"

At present, "Torino" holds 10th position in the Serie A table, trailing 4 points behind 8th place "Napoli", which qualifies for the European cup competitions. The Piemontese have three rounds left and they cannot afford any mistakes if they want to secure a top-8 finish. Unfortunately, recently, Ivan Juric's team has been in crisis and hasn't won any of their last 5 championship matches (3 draws and 2 defeats). After falling to "Inter"(2:0), "Torino" shared points with "Bologna" (0:0) last weekend.

An interesting fact: the guests have recorded the highest number of goalless draws (nine) of all teams in the top five European leagues this campaign. However, the Turin side failed to score in the last four matches and another defeat will be the worst sign for the club since 1991. It is important to note that "Bulls" hold just the 12th place in total when it comes to away points earned (17 out of 17 away meetings, 16 goals scored, 23 conceded).

Head-to-head confrontations

In the first leg, these teams drew (0:0), and the "Mastiffs" haven't been able to overcome the White-Browns in the past nine head-to-head meetings.

Match Prediction for "Verona" vs "Torino"

In the case of a successful outcome this Sunday, "Verona" would guarantee their safe distance from relegation, yet nine out of Torino's last 13 championship encounters have ended in a draw, and everything suggests that this outcome may be repeated this time around. The "Bulls" are also motivated by the battle for a finish in the Europa League zone, however, they have downshifted in April and are weakened by personnel losses. My prediction - a draw, just like in the first leg match.

Prediction for Total

"Verona" concedes few at home, while the "Bulls" score less than a goal per away match and are also known for their solid defence this season. I wouldn't expect a high-scoring shootout here, hence my bet is on "both to score: no".

Prediction on Corners

The battle will be focused in the center of the pitch, while it won't often result in dangerous moments. I place a bet on the total corners under 9.5.

Prediction on Yellow Cards

Both teams earn, on average, two yellow cards per game, so my bet is on total bookings over 3.5.

Score Prediction

I'm placing a bet on an exact score of 0:0.
