Fiorentina and Torino aren’t in the title race, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t met expectations so far. In fact, the winner wouldn’t only remain in the Serie A top 10, it would also get back in the race for a spot in a UEFA competition.
As if that wasn’t enough, we’re talking about two teams with the exact same record. Playing at home is the main reason for Fiorentina to be slightly favored in the soccer odds.
Let’s check the latest Serie A odds, stats, injury reports, and Serie A lines for Fiorentina vs Torino. We’ve plenty of Serie A betting odds for you to consider.
Fiorentina: Determined to Bounce Back
Fiorentina began the year with a 2-1-0 record in all competitions, but on Sunday they lost 2-0 to AS Roma. Paulo Dybala ended up being too much for the Gigliati defense to handle. As if losing wasn’t enough, Domilson dos Santos, better known as Dodo, was sent off, meaning he won’t be available for Saturday’s clash.
Prior to losing to AS Roma, the Gigliati defeated Sampdoria 1-0 in the Round of 16 of the Coppa Italia. They not only finished with a clean sheet, but they didn’t even allow a single shot on target. They just need to be consistent to increase their chances in the Serie A.
Regarding the attacking unit, Fiorentina have nothing to worry about. Luka Jovic is a certified scorer while Nicolas Gonzalez is the perfect wingman. Head coach Vincenzo Italiano likes to play 4-5-1, but I think it’s time for the Gigliati to try 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 in order to let Jovic and Gonzalez play together from the beginning.
As mentioned before, the home side is slightly favored in the Las Vegas odds thanks to a +110 price. Considering they’ve been considerably better when playing at home (4-3-2), that’s a great deal.
Torino: Ups & Downs
Like Fiorentina, Torino lost their last Serie A game to Spezia. The Granata won possession with 68 percent and took four shots on target, but it just wasn’t their day and they ended up losing 1-0. M’Bala Nzola scored the winning goal from the penalty spot.
Prior to that match, the Granata pulled off a huge upset in the Coppa Italia by eliminating AC Milan, the reigning Serie A champions. The game took place at San Siro and finished 1-0. Michel Adopo scored the winning goal in overtime. Keep in mind that the Granata played with one fewer player since the 69th minute after Koffi Djidji was sent off.
Torino’s defense has been leading the way. They’ve allowed 20 goals in 18 games, the same as AC Milan (second place) and four less than Inter Milan (fourth place). No matter the result, the Granata have gone 10 straight games without allowing more than one goal.
That makes them a tempting underdog to include in your soccer picks, especially at +265, since you could win $265 per every $100 wagered on them. They won three of their previous nine road games in the Serie A.

Last season, Fiorentina had no trouble fulfilling their role as betting online favorites against Torino, twice. First, the Gigliati won 2-1 at home with Nicolas Gonzalez and Dusan Vlahovic as the scorers. It was a busy game for the referee since he ended up showing nine yellow cards in total. Later, they won 4-0 in Torino with Josip Brekalo as Man of the Match after scoring a brace.
There have been at least four yellow cards in each of their last five meetings. Two red cards as well. Summing up, these two really don’t like each other. That’s something for you to keep in mind regarding wagering on the props.
