The Turin giants managed to clinch fourth place last season only after a coaching change, edging out Roma. However, even Tudor was dismissed in the autumn. Overall, Spalletti is coping well, despite clear setbacks—against Atalanta in the cup and Galatasaray in the Champions League. Nevertheless, they recently beat Genoa and Atalanta with clean sheets.
The team from Renato Dall’Ara is remembered for finishing fifth in 2024 and for last season’s cup victory. This year, they competed respectably in the Europa League, eliminating Roma in the playoffs, but lost twice to Aston Villa in the quarterfinals. Domestically, their defeats have been on par with their victories. However, they managed to beat their last opponents, Cremonese and Lecce, so they still have a chance at seventh place.
The ambitious hosts average 1.72 goals scored per game and concede almost half that, at 0.91. Italiano’s side scores 1.31 goals per match and concedes 1.16 on average.
