Today’s Torino vs Crotone preview focuses on a clash between two teams with contrasting levels of motivation. The home side occupy a comfortable mid-table spot in Serie A at present, while the visitors are embroiled in a battle for survival near the foot of the table. The away side’s need is greater, but their quality is inferior. It should make for a tantalising clash in Turin on Sunday.

Il Toro lost both of their recent couple of games just prior to today’s free Torino vs Crotone betting tips, and though the home derby defeat to Juventus would have been particularly painful, their results at the Stadio Olimpico Grande have been generally decent over the past month. That loss to the Old Lady was Torino’s only reverse in five games in front of their own fans. In fact, Walter Mazzarri’s men have been beaten just three times in thirteen on their own patch in 2017/18.
The confidence in the Crotone squad will be at rock bottom after a huge couple of results went against them in the space of a week. I Pitagorici faced two of their biggest relegation rivals in Benevento and SPAL in their last two games but lost both clashes 2-3. Walter Zenga will have to find a way to pick up the pieces of his players’ morale before their trip to Turin. His team have won only two away matches in Serie A this season, however.
The home side’s double dose of defeats in their last two games before today’s Torino vs Crotone bets would have set them back a little, though the prospect of facing one of Serie A’s relegation candidates should give their players a much-needed lift. I Pitagorici travel to Turin having won one of their most recent nine games.
Il Toro had won three games on the trot at the Stadio Olimpico Grande before their loss to Juventus. During that sequence, they put three without reply past Benevento, who of course, recently got one over on Crotone. Walter Mazzarri’s side have lost just two of their last ten at home in all competitions.
Walter Zenga’s strugglers are on the cusp of being dragged into the bottom three places in the table and another defeat this weekend could see them plunge into those dangerous waters. His players have conspired to lose six of their last eight away games and with a record like that, we can’t expect anything other than another defeat for them. The Serie A football betting odds available at Betfair are the most generously priced for our predicted outcome.
The away team under the microscope in today’s free Italian soccer predictions and Torino vs Crotone predictions have found it near impossible to get wins from anywhere this season, but in 2018, they have at least become regular goal scorers. Despite just winning once along the way, I Pitagorici have hit the net for six successive games now.
Zenga’s boys scored against Verona, Cagliari, Inter, Atalanta, Benevento and SPAL. Their goals against defensively strong Inter and Atalanta sides were particularly notable. This weekend’s hosts are used to rippling the net in their fixtures in Turin too. They have only failed to score in three of their fifteen competitive games there in 2017/18.
If we take a glance at the head-to-head results between these clubs, we can immediately see that in five of their last seven games against each other, both sides scored. Il Toro have conceded on average just under one goal per game at home this term and with the visitors newfound ability to nick a goal, we are backing both teams to register on the scoresheet on Sunday. Sunbets odds for our second selection are well worth further investigation. You won’t find better value with any competing bookmaker.
