Fiorentina vs Torino Prediction 19 January 2025

🔊 Can Fiorentina break their unpleasant streak of 6 matches without a win? The "Viola", who not long ago were seriously contending for the top spot in the Serie A standings, have stopped showing competitive football. Torino, on the other hand, also have serious problems with collecting points - only 1 win in the last 11 games. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the match that will take place at the "Stadio Artemio Franchi".

📊 Head-to-head

In head-to-head encounters, Fiorentina often celebrates victory. Over a span of 41 games, the "Viola" have been stronger than their opponent 18 times, while Torino achieved a positive result only 8 times. The 11th round Serie A match, which took place in Turin, also held no surprises - 1-0 in favor of Fiorentina.

🟣 Fiorentina

Fiorentina continues to shock everyone with their results in recent matches. The team cannot win for 6 games in a row, although not long ago they had a splendid winning streak. Raffaele Palladino's charges cannot show a decent level of football even against the underdogs of the Italian championship. In the previous round, the "Viola" managed to suffer a defeat from Monza (1-2), who had been losing to everyone without exception. There is no justification for this defeat. Watching the highlights of dangerous moments reveals only one episode involving Fiorentina - a penalty scored in the 74th minute. With such results, the club has dropped to sixth place in the standings. As for the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to rely only on Edoardo Bove (heart issues).

🐂 Torino

The last 3 matches for Torino can be viewed ambivalently. In this period, the team did not suffer a single defeat (an optimist's view), but also did not secure a single victory (a pessimist's view) - all games ended in a draw. In the previous round, for example, the "Bulls" drew with Juventus (1-1). Overall, this is a very decent result for Paolo Vanoli's charges, considering that more danger came from the "Old Lady" (2-9 in shots on goal), and Torino has not the most pleasant figures in head-to-head encounters. After the 20th round, the club is placed twelfth in the Serie A standings, which is also quite good. Regarding the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 8 players, including Karol Linetty (accumulation of yellow cards) and Gvidas Gineitis (injury).

⚽️ Goal Prediction

We do not believe that the upcoming meeting will be entertaining. Firstly, in matches involving Torino, many goals are rarely scored. Thus, total under (2.5) has come through in 12 of the last 13 games. The exception was the encounter with Udinese, where both teams scored 4 goals combined (2-2). Secondly, Fiorentina themselves are in terrible form. If this team used to calmly score 2-3 goals within 90 minutes of play, now they score at most once against opponents' goalkeepers. Therefore, our editorial team would not be surprised if a maximum of 2 goals are scored in the upcoming match.

🚩 Corner Prediction

It is difficult to call Fiorentina and Torino ardent fans of corners. In this aspect, both teams are situated in the lower half of the Serie A table. Thus, the "Viola" with an average total of 4.6 corners occupy eleventh place, while the "Bulls" are even lower at fourteenth place (4.3). In such a situation, a quite reliable bet seems to be total corners under (9.5).

📝 Editorial Prediction

Fiorentina is the clear favorite for the upcoming encounter. However, we completely disagree with this opinion of bookmakers. They somehow still hope that Raffaele Palladino's charges can return to their winning ways. But currently, they are struggling with play on every part of the field. The team can hardly approach even Monza's goal (1-2), which is considered a main contender for relegation from the elite division. Torino, with their series of three draws, has clearly shown that they can take points from any opponent. For us, the most optimal bet is Torino to win with a handicap (+1). We think that after 90 minutes, the scoreboard will show 1-1.
