Tension until the last minute

Having enjoyed an impressive start to life in Serie A, Torino will look to extend their fine start on Friday evening, when they travel to Hellas Verona at the Stadio Bentegodi.

Currently in fifth place with eight points to their name, Toro will face a Hellas Verona side that have so far either won or lost this season.

Latest Hellas Verona vs Torino team information

Hellas Verona boss Paolo Zanetti has a number of significant injuries to contend with, with Ondrej Duda and Martin Frese still major doubts for Friday's game, and Moroccan midfielder Abdou Harroui also set to undergo a last-minute fitness test. Suat Serdar and Juan Manuel Cruz are certain to miss out.

Dani Silva could continue to deputise in midfield, while Grigoris Kastanos and Tomas Suslov could come in to support on-loan striker Casper Tengstedt.

Following his goal against Lazio, Tengstedt has scored in two consecutive league games for the first time since joining parent club Benfica early last year.

Torino, meanwhile, will be without Mergim Vojvoda and long-term absentee Perr Schuurs, while Saul Coco's presence in defence is doubtful due to a muscle problem, so Sebastian Walukiewicz and Guillermo Maripan could be included in the visitors' three-man defence.

Paolo Vanoli will be able to rely on newly recovered striker Nikola Vlasic, who is expected to start from the bench, while Che Adams and Duvan Zapata will combine up front.

Goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has made the most saves in Serie A this season - 21, an average of 5.25 per game - and has kept three clean sheets against Verona so far.

Latest predicted lineup Hellas Verona vs Torino

Torino:

Milinkovic-Savic; Walukiewicz, Maripan, Masina; Lazaro, Ricci, Linetty, Ilic, Sosa; Adams, Zapata

Latest football prediction Hellas Verona vs Torino

Facing Napoli, Juventus and Lazio in their first four league games, Hellas Verona might have expected a difficult start to the 2024-25 season, but they came through with six points and some hope for the season ahead.

Including being knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Serie B side Cesena, Scaligeri have alternated between defeats and victories so far - highlighted by a 3-0 win over Napoli on the opening day.

Last time out, they were beaten by Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, when Casper Tengstedt's equaliser levelled the scores after the hosts' early opener, only for Taty Castellanos to score the winner just minutes later.

Since Paolo Zanetti took over, Verona's attacking output has improved markedly, no doubt thanks to the additions of strikers Tengstedt and Daniel Mosquera.

Only Monza have had fewer shots than Hellas so far, but they are still sitting pretty with six goals in total, with their 18% shot conversion rate the highest of any Serie A side this season.

In their last six meetings with Torino, the Gialloblu have scored just twice, failing to find the net four times, so they can expect to improve on that poor record this weekend.

However, recent history suggests Torino can be confident of picking up maximum points on Friday night, having won their last three Serie A games at the Stadio Bentegodi.

More importantly, the Granata remain unbeaten so far this season, following draws with AC Milan and Lecce either side of back-to-back wins over Atalanta BC and Venezia.

Only once this century have Torino started a top-flight season without losing five games, but that will be their minimum target when Paolo Vanoli's side travel to Verona.

Toro may have had a bit of luck, having faced the most shots (84) in Serie A so far - and the second most on target (25) - but they have only conceded three goals. Some saves from goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic certainly helped.

Level on points with city rivals Juventus, the Granata are enjoying a good spell under new management, but Vanoli will face a test in the coming weeks, with a Coppa Italia clash against Empoli on Friday and league clashes with Inter Milan and Lazio to follow. Verona have beaten expectations so far this season, but Torino are looking very dynamic under new management and could come away from the Bentegodi with three points.

Victory will keep Toro among the early leaders in Serie A, as they look towards a long-awaited return to Europe next season.
