Torino vs Venezia prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
Serie A returns this weekend and will see Torino host Venezia at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Saturday night.
Torino have had mixed results of late with two wins, two losses and a draw in their last five games. Their most recent outing ended in a dramatic 2-0 loss to Udinese. With the game goalless at the 90-minute mark, the Turin outfit fell to two set-piece goals in additional time.
The hosts sit mid-table in 10th place with 32 points from 23 games. They will now be looking to bounce back from their latest result when they play this Saturday.
Venezia are in very poor form at the moment. They were beaten 2-0 by title contenders Napoli in their last game. They are now on a run of back-to-back defeats with their last league win coming back in November last year.
Venezia sit 18th in the league table with just 18 points picked up so far. They will be targeting a win on Saturday as they look to exit the relegation zone and avoid an immediate return to the bottom tier.

Torino vs Venezia Prediction
Torino are on a run of back-to-back winless outings. They, however, have good home form at the moment as they are unbeaten in eight straight home matches and will therefore be looking to maximize their home advantage this weekend.
Venezia are winless in their last seven games across all competitions and have won just one of their last 12. The home side should have enough to win this one.
Prediction: Torino 3-1 Venezia
