Form Guide and Standings
Torino, currently in 10th place with 43 points, have shown inconsistency this season. Their recent 2-0 loss to Napoli highlights a struggle to convert chances. Venezia, on the other hand, are in a desperate fight for survival, languishing in 18th place with only 25 points—two points adrift of safety.

This adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming match. Che Adams, Torino’s Scottish striker, will be a key player to watch, his strength and link-up play crucial against Venezia's vulnerable defense. For Venezia, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia's midfield control will be paramount to their survival hopes.
Predicted Lineups and Betting Odds
Torino's predicted 3-5-2 formation features Milinković-Savić in goal, and Adams and Elmas leading the attack. Venezia's predicted 3-5-2 sees Radu in goal and Yeboah and Fila upfront. Betting odds suggest a close contest: a Torino win has a 45.5% probability, a draw 33.3%, and a Venezia win 26.7%. Historically low-scoring affairs are expected, with under 2.5 goals likely.
Prediction and What's Next
Our prediction: Torino 1-0 Venezia. A tight, defensively-minded game with a single goal deciding the outcome. A win for Torino boosts their chances of a top-half finish. For Venezia, defeat could be devastating, potentially pushing them closer to relegation. A draw wouldn't benefit either side significantly, especially the desperately struggling Venetians. This match is a must-win for Venezia, a significant challenge, and a potential turning point for both clubs.
