Torino, 3rd position with 4 points and a positive goal difference of +1
Venezia, 17th position with 1 point and a negative goal difference of -2

Torino FC won the Serie A Week 3 against Venezia FC on Friday, August 30, 2024, at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium in Venice, Italy.  Torino secures a win, bringing their points total to 7. Venice, despite putting up a strong performance, stays stuck at just one point. The first half was tough for Torino, but they held on, thanks in part to an impressive display from goalkeeper Milinkovic Savic. In the second half, Torino bounced back and scored the decisive goal through Saul Coco.

Interestingly, the last five matchups between Venezia and Torino at the Penzo have ended in draws, and the Granata have only had a longer streak of away draws against SPAL, which stands at six.

Curious fact:  Paolo Vanoli, the coach of Torino, managed Venezia in a total of 69 Serie B matches, spanning the regular season and playoffs, from November 2022 to June 2024. He successfully guided the team to Serie A last season, clinching promotion with a playoff final win against Cremonese. On top of that, Vanoli also played for Venezia in 56 matches during the 1993-1995 period, netting two goals in the cadet championship.

Torino took the lead in the agonizing 86th minute. Saúl Coco defeated Venezia goalkeeper with a headed shot.

✅  Stats before the game

Following their win against Torino in Serie A (2-1 on February 12, 2022, at the Olimpico Grande Torino), Venezia has a chance to pull off two consecutive wins against the Granata, something they’ve never done in the top league before.
Venezia and Torino have drawn all of Penzo’s last five matches in Serie A, with the Granata having a longer open streak of consecutive away draws only against SPAL in the tournament (six).
Venezia are unbeaten in their last two home matches in Serie A (beating Bologna 4-3 and drawing 0-0 with Cagliari in May 2022); Lagoa players have not recorded a longer home streak without defeat in the tournament since the period between October and December 2001 (four in this case).
After the draw with Milan and the victory over Atalanta, Torino will be able to collect seven points from the first three games played, for the second time in the last three seasons of Serie A (seven also in 2022/23), after having managed to do so only twice in the 18 previous championships played in the era of three points for a win (seven in 2017/18 and 2015/16).
Torino have scored two goals in both games of this championship, in the last 36 seasons of Serie A only once have the Granata scored at least two goals in all three of the first three Serie A games: in 2015/16.
