Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Torino, 14th position with 8 points and a negative goal difference of -7
Genoa, 20th position with 3 points and a negative goal difference of -6

A much-needed win came for Torino as they triumphed over Genoa in Serie A Week 8 on Sunday, October 26, 2025. The match held at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin concluded with a score of 2-1. This victory allows Torino to rise to 10th place with 11 points, now tied with Cremonese. Meanwhile, Genoa sits at the bottom with just 3 points, tied with Fiorentina, who have yet to play.

Can you believe it? Genoa has only managed to secure 3 points in 8 games this season. This marks the worst start in their history during the 3-point era. The previous low was 5 points in 8 matches back in the 2016/2017 season.

Torino is finding their rhythm after a draw with Lazio and a win against Napoli. They faced challenges against Genoa, who nearly took a 2-0 lead in the first half. However, the substitutions of Valentino Lazaro and Cyril Ngonge made a significant impact, allowing Torino to turn the match around. With this loss, Genoa remains at the bottom of the standings, despite their cautious defensive strategy. The standout player for Torino was Guillermo Maripán, who scored the decisive goal in the 90th minute.

This week, the midweek round is set to take place. Torino will be back in action on Tuesday the 29th at 20:45, facing Bologna away. Genoa will also play against Cremonese at home on the same day and time.

 

🐂 Torino 0 – 1 Genoa 🔴⚫️

Genoa gained the upper hand in the 7th minute. Morten Thorsby netted a goal with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. The Granata defense made a critical error, as Asllani slipped and failed to intercept the ball. Thorsby capitalized on this, getting past Paleari as he came out. Ekhator provided the assist from the right, but Asllani was unable to make the save.

Born in 1995, he kicked off his Serie A career with Genoa in the 2016/17 season, where he scored 12 goals in total.  Additionally, Giovanni Simeone is one of only two players who have been substituted in every match this season, alongside Armand Laurienté.

Statistics before the game

Torino has remained unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 Serie A encounters with Genoa (W8 D5), with the Grifone's sole victory during this stretch occurring on March 18, 2022, at the Ferraris stadium (1-0, thanks to a goal from Manolo Portanova). Notably, the two teams have drawn their last three league meetings and have never achieved four consecutive draws in Serie A.

Torino has managed to avoid defeat in 40 of their last 41 home matches against Genoa in Serie A (W26 D14). The Rossoblu's only away victory in this timeframe was on May 24, 2009, with a 3-2 win while Gian Piero Gasperini was at the helm, featuring a brace from Diego Milito and a goal from Rubén Olivera for the Ligurians.

Following their 1-0 win over Napoli, Torino aims to secure two consecutive league victories for the first time since February-March, when they triumphed over Milan and Monza. The Granata have recorded three clean sheets in seven Serie A matches this season, matching the total from their previous 16 top-flight games.

Genoa has managed just one win in their last 14 Serie A matches (5D, 8L): a 3-1 away victory against Bologna on the last day of the previous season. Additionally, after their recent 0-0 draw with Parma, Genoa could potentially draw two consecutive matches in the tournament for the first time since last March, when they faced Empoli and Cagliari.
