Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals11/8Both sides “scored or threatened” on the opening weekend despite defeats, Sassuolo going down 2-1 at Atalanta and Torino falling narrowly 2-1 at home to Milan, suggesting neither defence is fully settled yet. The head-to-head backs this up strongly, with both teams scoring in four of the last five meetings between these clubs. With little separating them and an open, end-to-end game expected at the Mapei, the draft’s own 1-1 score prediction combined with the general expectation of a lively, back-and-forth contest supports goals flowing at both ends and the total climbing above 2.5.
Cesare Casadei and Gvidas Gineitis over 2.5 tackles3/1With this billed as a genuinely tight, coin-toss contest between two well-organised sides still finding their feet, the midfield battle should be intense and heavily contested for large spells. Casadei and Gineitis both operate as Torino’s engine room, and in a game expected to swing back and forth rather than be dominated by one side, they’ll need to repeatedly win back possession and break up Sassuolo’s forward moves. A tactically balanced, competitive fixture like this, rather than a one-sided rout, is exactly the kind of match state that tends to produce high tackle counts from a team’s central midfield pairing.

Sassuolo are dangerous going forward but need to tighten up. Making home advantage count against a beatable Torino is the aim.

How Torino go into the game
