Venezia vs Torino prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
Venezia host Torino at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in Serie A on Monday, with both teams having underwhelming starts to the season.
Newcomers Venezia have struggled on their return to Italy's top flight and are currently 18th in the league. Paolo Zanetti's side have only managed one win so far this season and look set to have a tough campaign ahead of them.
Torino, on the other hand, have bounced back from their poor start to the season and are unbeaten in their last three games. Ivan Juric's side are currently ninth in the league and will look to continue their resurgence with a win against a poor Venezia side on Monday.
Both sides will be desperate to win the game in order to climb up the table, and that should make Monday's fixture a well-contested affair.
Venezia vs Torino Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record between the two sides is evenly split down the middle, with both teams winning one of their last five meetings.
Torino came away as 3-0 winners the last time the two sides met, however, that was back in April of 2005.
