Hellas Verona vs Torino prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2020-21
Fresh off ending their four-game losing streak in Serie A, Hellas Verona take on Torino at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to make it two wins from two games after claiming a 1-0 win over Parma last time out.
Hellas Verona ended their run of four straight losses when they played out a 1-1 draw with Spezia last Friday.
Inter Milan loanee Eddie Salcedo gave the Gialloblu the lead in the 46th minute. However, the visitors snatched a draw after Riccardo Saponara restored parity four minutes away from full time.
Hellas Verona have now failed to win their last five games and this poor run has seen them drop to 10th place in the league standings.
Meanwhile, Torino returned to winning ways last time out when they claimed a hard-earned 1-0 win over Parma.
Mergim Vojvoda scored the only goal of the game to hand Toro their seventh win of the season. They have now moved up to 15th place in the log, level on points with Sunday’s hosts.
