Venezia vs Torino Prediction: Visitors to continue quick start

Torino have picked up four points from two tricky ties to start the new campaign, drawing with AC Milan before getting the better of Atalanta 2-1 last time out. They have had their sights lowered significantly in this match as they take on the newly promoted Venezia, who have lost two of their three competitive matches this term.

Here, I pick out the best bets for Friday’s Serie A clash, which kicks off at 17:30 in Venice at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.

Team News

After missing the first two games of the new season, Venezia striker Joel Pohjanpalo could feature in this clash, having netted 22 times in Serie B last season.

Mato Jajalo, Gianluca Busio and Tanner Tessman are all absent for the home team, who may hand a debut to new signing Hans Nicolussi Caviglia.

Football Odds

Che Adams looks likely to start again for Torino after impressing last time out and he could join Duvan Zapata up front.

Perr Schuurs remains out, but loan signing Borna Sosa may come into the starting line-up.

Torino can be backed at 1/1 for the victory, while Venezia are 11/4 outsiders and the draw is available at 12/5.

Over 2.5 goals is on offer at 1/1, while both teams to score is priced at 5/6 and it is 2/1 for over 1.5 goals in the first half.

Match Result - Torino to Win @ 1/1

Torino have been impressive in their first two games of the new campaign, opening with a 2-2 draw away to Serie A runners-up from last term Milan.

They followed that with a 2-1 win over Europa League winners Atalanta and if they repeat those performance levels, they should be hard to beat in this game.

Newly promoted Venezia have found life tough back in the top flight, losing 3-1 to Brescia in the cup before a defeat by the same scoreline against Lazio.

A goalless draw against Fiorentina last time out was an improved showing but they may struggle to contain this Torino forward line, who have the pace and physicality to cause them issues.

Goals win games and the away team may simply be able to outscore their opponents in this clash.

Anytime Scorer - Duvan Zapata @ 13/8

Zapata has been a reliable source of goals throughout his career in Serie A and the veteran netted 12 times in the league for Torino last term.

The Colombian has already opened his account in both the league and cup this season and looks set to partner well with Adams up top.

The Torino captain is fancied to get on the scoresheet once again in this match.
