Side with the hosts in Monday's live Serie A clash at the Stadio Artemis Franchi.
Fiorentina v Torino - Monday 19:45, BT Sport 1
Fiorentina suffered their second defeat in three games as they were beaten 2-1 at Milan and so they’ve dropped down to 8th. They’re five points clear of their visitors Torino in 9th after they were thumped 4-1 at Roma, meaning they’ve now won only two of their last 11.
While they’ve struggled on their travels, Fiorentina remain unbeaten at home, winning four of their last six at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, including against Juve. They’ve led at the break in six of their last seven there, though they’ve been somewhat vulnerable defensively as they’ve kept only one clean sheet in their last eight at home.
Torino are similarly without a clean sheet in six, but they have managed to net in five of these themselves, so we expect there to be goals. Indeed, their last two games have seen 13 goals, making Over 3.5 Goals worth backing at 2.75, particularly as Fiorentina have scored more than twice in three of their last four at home. Torino have lost and failed to score in seven of their last eight trips to teams currently in the top half (this season) and top-half finishers at the end of last season so we’re also backing Fiorentina to win and both teams to score at 3.45.
