Torino are prowling the Olimpico like Il Toro with horns lowered but no charge—unbeaten in their last five home games (3W, 2D), but the Parma loss stung, with Che Adams’ goal not enough, per sportskeeda.com.

Paolo Vanoli’s side, led by Adams’ 9 goals, is safe in mid-table but lacks spark, with no major injuries but doubts over Karol Linetty, per mightytips.com. Their 1-0 win over Venezia in August showed control, but a 2-0 loss to Bologna in December exposed attacking woes, per 22bet.com. Web buzz notes Torino’s solid home defense as a key edge, per news.22bet.com.

Venezia are clawing like Winged Lions in a relegation dogfight—their Cagliari win, with Jay Idzes’ header, was a rare bright spot in a grim campaign, per footballwhispers.com. They’re projected at one win in six (1W, 1D, 4L), averaging 0.8 goals scored, 1.6 conceded. Their away form is dire (0.71 goals scored, 1.65 conceded per game), with 12/17 games scoreless, per mybets.today. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side, led by Joel Pohjanpalo’s 5 goals, is level with Empoli and two points behind Lecce, with Michael Svoboda and Giorgio Altare out, per mightytips.com.

Fan sentiment online underscores Venezia’s must-win desperation, per web chatter.

Head-to-Head Stats & Historical Context

• Overall Record: Torino lead with 11 wins to Venezia’s 7, 12 draws—30 clashes since 1998, per fctables.com.

This ain’t a polite Turin-Venice gondola ride—it’s a feud with Torino’s hoofprints all over it. The 1-0 Torino win in August, with Coco’s header, was a cagey affair where Venezia barely threatened, per sportskeeda.com. Torino’s 1-1 draw in September 2021 and 2-1 win in 2019 reinforce their edge, while Venezia’s 2-1 upset in 2022 is a distant memory, per leaguelane.com. Under 2.5 goals hit in 4/6 H2Hs, with Venezia scoreless in three, per sportskeeda.com. Torino’s 1.5 xG per H2H outpaces Venezia’s 0.9, and their home dominance (3/5 H2H wins) tilts the scales, per mybets.today.

• Vanja Milinković-Savić (GK): 7 clean sheets in 2024/25. A Serbian wall—70% save rate, vital vs. Venezia’s attack, per news.22bet.com.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Torino’s 3-5-2 is a pragmatic scrapper—Adams and Duván Zapata (3 goals) lead, Lazaro and Adrien Tameze create, averaging 50% possession and 9 shots per game, per news.22bet.com. Linetty’s doubtful, with Samuele Ricci and Gvidas Gineitis anchoring, per mightytips.com. They’ll lean on home solidity, targeting Venezia’s 1.6 goals conceded, with 14/16 home games under 2.5 goals, per mybets.today. Their unbeaten run in five home games (3W, 2D) is a fortress, but one first-half goal in six games hints at slow starts, per tribalfootball.com. Venezia’s 3-5-2 is a defensive counter—Pohjanpalo and Gaetano Oristanio attack, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia (1 assist) and Gianluca Busio graft, averaging 43% possession and 8 shots per game, per footballwhispers.com. Svoboda and Altare are out, with Idzes and Marin Šverko stepping up, per mightytips.com. They’ll park the bus, exploiting Torino’s 1.2 goals conceded, but their 0/17 away wins and 12/17 scoreless games are grim, per sportskeeda.com. Olimpico’s 27,994 fans will be a granata storm—I can smell the Turin heat already. Torino’s 6/16 home wins and 5/6 H2H dominance make them favorites, but Venezia’s desperation and 4/6 H2Hs under 2.5 suggest a cagey draw, per statsinsider.com.au. Web buzz leans Torino at 2.1 odds, with a 1-0 scoreline at 12% probability, per mybets.today.
