Torino FC are looking to continue their unbeaten run in the Serie A, by winning against Venezia FC, who remains to be winless here. Heading into this match, these two teams actually had a different opener and momentum before this match. Torino is currently unbeaten in their Serie A campaign, winning once and drawing one match. Moreover, Torino are heading into this match from a 2-1 win against Atalanta, giving them confidence here. However, it is not the case for Venezia, as they are still winless in the Serie A, affecting their momentum. Due to this, Venezia are eager to finally claim their first win in the contest, to finally have a point here. The meeting between these two teams is on August 31, 2024, at 12:30 AM (GMT+8).
Torino FC
Torino’s new head coach, Vanoli, has made a smooth transition to the club after masterminding the Lagunari’s rise. Toro, which was previously within a whisker of European qualification last term, has continued to do so this season. They overturned another member of Italy’s Champions League contingent last week when they hosted Atalanta BC. Summer signing Che Adams scored and set up another goal, while goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic parried a stoppage-time penalty. Torino’s impressive start, including a 2-0 cup win over Cosenza, gives them momentum for their final fixture before the international break.
Torino’s attack may remain unchanged, with Che Adams ahead of Antonio Sanabria. Duvan Zapata should link up with Adams, while Nikola Vlasic is injured and Pietro Pellegri joins Empoli. Borna Sosa can compete for his first start.
Venezia FC
Venezia, after returning to Italy’s elite after a two-year absence, is now facing a new challenge in Turin. Former Frosinone boss Eusebio Di Francesco has taken over as head coach, but his team has only one point from two league games and exited the Coppa Italia. Venezia’s last match was a goalless draw with Fiorentina, with goalkeeper Jesse Joronen making crucial saves. The Arancioneroverdi must now face Torino, who finished inside the top half of the table last season. They have unbeaten in five Serie A matches against Torino in the last 25 years. Venezia will return to Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, where they posted 15 wins and only three defeats in Serie B last season, to try and get off the mark.
Venezia’s main striker, Joel Pohjanpalo, may be fit for Friday’s match after missing two Serie A matches due to a thigh problem. Christian Gytkjaer should start from the bench, while midfielder Hans Nicolussi Caviglia may make his home debut.
