Torino welcome Verona to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A on Monday (October 2).
The hosts suffered their first defeat in three league games on Wednesday, losing 2-0 at Lazio. Matías Vecino and Mattia Zaccagni scored in the second half for Lazio as Torino failed to score for just the second time this season.
Verona, meanwhile, have seen a drop in form recently, losing three of their last four league outings. They failed to score for the third straight game in a 1-0 home loss to Atalanta on Wednesday.
Having kicked off their league campaign with back-to-back wins, Verona are 14th in the standings with seven points. They trail tenth-placed Torino by a point.

Torino vs Verona Prediction
Torino are unbeaten in eight meetings against Verona, drawing five. They have kept clean sheets in three of their last four meetings against Verona.
There are no new injury concerns for Torino. Alessandro Buongiorno was taken off in the first half with a muscle injury in the midweek clash against Lazio and is unlikely to start, though.
Verona, meanwhile, have lost thrice in four games and have failed to score in three games after the international break. There are no major absentees, but Marco Baroni could ring some changes.
Torino have one win in their last 10 home games in Serie A, scoring six goals. Considering that and the history between the two teams, a low-scoring stalemate could ensue.
Prediction: Torino 1-1 Verona
