Torino
Bologna welcome Torino to the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on Saturday afternoon for a Serie A fixture that carries real weight for both sides. Neither club has found consistent form in the early weeks of the 2026/27 campaign, with the Rossoblù still searching for a first league victory this term. Torino sit two places above their hosts in thirteenth, though their own recent run has been patchy at best. With both sides keen to pull clear of the lower reaches, this mid-table encounter could prove significant in shaping the narrative of their respective seasons.
1X: Double Chance Bologna or Draw
Match Analysis
Bologna enter this Serie A Round 5 fixture as the home favorite at 1.95, backed by a commanding recent H2H record that includes a 3-2 home win in February 2025 and a 2-0 away victory in December 2024.
- 3 wins from last 4 H2H meetings, including two victories over Torino in the 2024-25 season alone.
- Home advantage amplified by Torino conceding 1.7 goals per game this season, keeping Bologna’s attack relevant.
- Bernardeschi and Odgaard ready to cover for Orsolini, preserving width and forward threat despite the absence.
- Torino’s own injury doubts, including Casadei and Pellegri both listed doubtful, weaken Vanoli’s attacking options significantly.
Torino arrive at the Dall’Ara priced at 4.00, reflecting a side whose inconsistent form (WLLLW) and porous defence make a positive result against Bologna’s historically superior head-to-head record a genuine challenge.
- Torino’s defence concedes 1.7 goals per game, the third-worst rate among mid-table sides this season.
- Casadei and Pellegri both doubtful, stripping Vanoli of creative midfield depth and a key striking option.
- Away record is undermined by 3 defeats in last 4 Serie A road fixtures, compounding the H2H deficit.
Key point: With both attacks weakened by injuries and a historically tight fixture pattern, the under 2.5 goals market at 1.80 offers a compelling complementary angle to the 1X prediction.

Our Verdict
Bologna’s double chance covers the home win at 1.95 and the draw at 3.50, and both outcomes look well supported. The Rossoblù have won three of the last four meetings with Torino, including a 3-2 victory at the Dall’Ara in February 2025. Torino’s away form is poor, with three defeats in their last five, and the potential absence of Casadei weakens their midfield. Without Orsolini, Bologna lack a cutting edge, making a draw plausible, but a Torino win feels unlikely. Back the 1X double chance.
