Looking to build on their impressive victory in the previous round, Torino welcome winless Genoa to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday for round eight of the Serie A campaign.
The Granata produced a shock triumph over the reigning champions Napoli last weekend, a result that lifted them to 14th place in the standings with eight points from seven matches (W2, D2, L3). In contrast, the visitors are one of just three sides yet to register a win in the Italian top flight this season and currently sit bottom of the table with only three points.

Torino vs Genoa predictions: Toro eye back-to-back victories
Key stats:
- Genoa have lost two of their three away fixtures this season (D1).
- Each of the last four meetings between the sides has produced under 2.5 goals, with Torino keeping clean sheets in three.
- The visitors have not scored more than one goal in any league game this season.
- Torino have won their last two home matches across league and cup by a 1-0 scoreline.
Correct score prediction: Torino 1-0 Genoa
Although the last three encounters between Torino and Genoa have ended level, the home side appear well positioned to claim all three points here following their morale-boosting win over defending champions Napoli. With Genoa struggling badly in attack, having found the net only three times in seven league outings, a narrow victory for the hosts looks the most plausible outcome.
Pre-match analysis: Bookmakers back Torino to claim the spoils
- HOME: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%
- DRAW: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
- AWAY: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

The bookmakers have backed the home side as favourites to take all three points based on the current odds. Torino’s recent victory over Napoli seems to have influenced that stance, and the 43.5% probability attached to a home win reflects the growing confidence surrounding the hosts. Genoa, meanwhile, have been handed just a 29.4% chance of success, a fair reflection of their ongoing struggles.
Most recent H2H: Recent meetings end in stalemate
The most recent clash between the two sides finished 1-1 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, marking a third consecutive draw in this fixture. Both teams have proven difficult to separate in recent seasons, although the hosts will now sense a clear opportunity to tilt the balance in their favour.

Genoa preview: Stanciu doubtful as Messias returns
Junior Messias recently returned to the squad after recovering from an adductor issue, offering a welcome boost to the visitors.

Player to watch: Giovanni Simeone
Giovanni Simeone will face his former club Genoa, where he first made his mark in Serie A by netting 12 league goals. The Argentine forward enters this encounter full of confidence after scoring the winner against the side that loaned him to Torino, Napoli. All eyes will be on the striker to see whether he can strike again against his old team.
