What Is Winning From Behind? When to Place And Its Strategies

3y ago

As the 2019/2020 campaign took off, Walter Mazzarri was vested with the task of leading Torino to another top-half finish. Beginning the season brilliantly, the Maroons looked capable of clinching continental qualification if they keep performance levels up.

However, a dip-in-form followed just at the turn of the year as Torino were condemned to successive heavy defeats, plunging them into the dreaded relegation places. Looking to steady the ship, the club parted ways with Mazzarri, appointing Moreno Longo as head coach.

Under the new Italian gaffer, the Bull have turned performance levels up a notch. Impressively, they have escaped the relegation places and are already guaranteed top-flight survival. They will be looking to end their rather disappointing campaign on a winning note when they take on Bologna on Sunday.

Bologna vs Torino Team News

It has been an excellent campaign for Bologna, with the Rossoblu sitting 12^th on the standings after garnering a whopping 46 points from 37 games. Level on points with 10^th-placed Fiorentina, a win in this fixture could see them finish in the top-half of the standings.

This will be considered a massive feat for a Bologna side that were touted by the bookies to struggle immensely this season. The Greyhounds taking on rivals Fiorentina on the last matchday, they were presented with a golden chance of climbing ahead of La Viola.

Struggling to get going in the game, Bologna had a game to forget at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. As the opposition camped in their half all through the game, the Greyhounds failed to fashion out any clear openings. In the end, they were hammered 4-0, much to the dismay of the club supporters.

Having narrowly missed out on European football the previous season, fireworks were expected from this budding Torino side this term. Unfortunately, they have failed to replicate the same performances that saw them dominate so much last time around.

Looking to bring their miserable winless run to a halt, Torino entertained Roma few days ago, hoping to cause an unlikely upset. Turning in a performance of the highest quality, the Bull will feel hard done by the final result as they were narrow toppled 3-2.

For this fixture, Bologna are very slight favorites for the win. Even though they haven’t been the best side lately, relative to Torino, they are playing really good football. The Greyhounds have been in excellent form on home turf this season, losing just six games at this venue.

Interestingly, four of those defeat had come against Serie A juggernauts in AC Milan, Roma, Inter Milan and Juventus. Meanwhile, Torino have been totally out-of-sorts lately, struggling to get important points on board. Surely, they will be swept away by Bologna if they do not manage to improve this weekend.

The Maroons are on a four-game winless run, and have remained so in 16 of their previous 19 games across all competitions. Their form on the road is not any better, failing to register a single win in each of their preceding ten away games, losing six of them in the process.

Bologna vs Torino Predictions

When it comes to h2h encounters, Bologna get the nod. Torino have registered just two wins against Mihajlovic’s men since 1990. Taking these into consideration, as well as the home side’s imperious home record this season, Bologna are sure to deliver the three points this Sunday.
