Venezia put their first point of the new season on the board last weekend when they held Fiorentina to a 0-0 draw, though they remain 13/5 underdogs for the visit of Torino on Friday.
Il Toro have a 51.3% chance of adding another early victory to their tally meanwhile, and they look well positioned to deliver following a run of two wins and a draw from three outings in league and cup since the summer. View more of our top Italian predictions on our latest football tips page.

Player to watch – Che Adams
Che Adams made the brave decision to leave his comfort zone in the summer when the Scottish striker chose to move to Italy for a new adventure with Torino.
Adams is up and running
Keen to make a good early impression, Adams has already endeared himself to the Il Toro faithful by bagging the winning goal in Torino’s 2-1 win over Atalanta last weekend. The 28-year-old will be eager to follow that strike up with another against Venezia.
