Match prediction
Torino approaches the match in the status of the obvious favorite and there are good reasons for this – the Bulls have obvious advantage in the class and will play on home arena.
Madzarri for certain will give a rest to the main football players and will give a chance to the reserve in the forthcoming match.
However, for Südtirol the rotation will hardly become serious advantage as the team will come in Turin to try playing on counterattacks.
The team of Sébastiani doesn’t demonstrate high number of scored goals and plays from defense and the team can really avoid defeat today and the hosts will hardly seek it either.
