My Prediction
Torino by 1Alright folks, set your espresso makers and let's dive into this stout Italian matchup between Torino and Venezia. Looking at the men with the gloves, for Venezia we have Ionuț Radu with a 6.76 rating and 11 saves. However, his counterpart at Torino, Vanja Milinković-Savić, clearly skipped his siesta with a 7.22 rating and 17 saves.
Venezia has a few lads to keep a keen eye on; Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, with an impressive 7.22 rating and accurate pass percentage of 79.1. Gianluca Busio and John Yeboah both sitting comfortably above seven, with their single goals showcasing they can't be taken lightly.
Torino, on the other hand, flaunts some skill with players like Guillermo Maripán and Cristiano Biraghi, both with ratings above 7 too. Not forgetting their lone rangers, Eljif Elmas and Gvidas Gineitis with a solitary goal.
If we time travel back to their previous showdown, boy, did we have a nail-biter! Venezia surely hasn't forgotten that slim 1-0 loss to Torino, a sour taste of defeat still lingering on their tongues.
And let's not entirely discount the whispers of the season's past. Venezia's season track record reads like a tourist's visit to Pisa – quite leaning but photogenic nonetheless with 4 wins, 13 draws, and 17 losses. However, Torino flicked their mustaches aside, dusted their pizza and chalked up a slightly better 10-13-11.
Recent times however haven't been all pizzas and piazzas for either team, with Venezia agonizing over a win, two ties and two losses and Torino not far off with a single win, two ties and two losses too.
Taking everything into account, my gut says we're heading for a bit of a Neapolitan ice cream – a little bit of everything. Torino has the edge but Venezia is welded on their tails.
