Matchday 29 Serie A TIM 2019-20 30 June - 2 Juillet 2020 TORINO vs LAZIO Torino have won only two of their last 12 Serie A TIM games against Lazio (D4 L6), conceding in each game in the process. These two sides have met 64 times in Torino, with the hosts leading by 28 wins to 13. Torino won their last home game against Lazio, after failing to beat the Biancocelesti in their previous four such meetings (D2 L2). Lazio lost their last away game against Atalanta, ending a series of seven wins and two draws on the road – the last time they lost two away games in a row was In September 2019 (vs SPAL and Inter). Eight of Torino’s last nine goals against Lazio and 14 of Lazio’s last 16 against the Granata in Serie A TIM have arrived in the second half. This will be Lazio’s 150th Serie A TIM game under Simone Inzaghi (W83 D29 L37) – the Biancocelesti have scored 296 goals in the process. Torino’s Alex Berenguer scored his first Serie A TIM goal in December 2017 against Lazio. Torino’s striker Andrea Belotti could score in three Serie A TIM appearances in a row for the third time in the competition: also doing so in December 2016 and April 2017. Ciro Immobile has scored 95 Serie A TIM goals under Simone Inzaghi: no player has scored more under a single manager in the competition, in the three points for a win era (level with Filippo Inzaghi under Carlo Ancelotti). Lazio’s striker Ciro Immobile scored 27 goals in his 47 league appearances for Torino, and he has already netted five goals in seven games against his former team – he is one goal away from matching his best tally in a single Serie A TIM season (29 in 2017/18). GENOA vs JUVENTUS Genoa have lost 63 games and conceded 213 goals against Juventus in Serie A TIM – more than they have against any other opponent. Genoa have beaten Juve two times since the 2016/17 season – only five sides have managed to do so against the Old Lady in the same timeframe. Genoa have hosted Juventus 52 times so far, losing on 22 occasions and beating the Old Lady 19 times. Since the 2013/14 season, Juve have lost three of their six away trips to face Genoa (W3) – their worst such away record in the league over the last six seasons. Genoa have conceded seven goals in their last two home games (vs Lazio and Parma) – one more than in their previous five at the Marassi combined. Genoa have gone unbeaten in three of their last four home games against the team at the top of the Serie A TIM table (two wins against Juve and a win against Napoli). Juventus have kept a clean sheet in their last three league games and could go four in a row for the first time since December 2018 (six). Davide Nicola has lost each of his five games as a manager in Serie A TIM against Juventus so far. Genoa striker Andrea Favilli made his Serie A TIM debut in February 2016 when he was at Juve. Juve’s midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur played his first Serie A TIM game in August 2017 against Genoa – the Uruguay international made an assist for Leonardo Bonucci’s goal. BOLOGNA vs CAGLIARI Bologna have won only one of their last six Serie A TIM games against Cagliari, losing twice and sharing three draws. Bologna are unbeaten in their last seven home games against Cagliari (W5 D2). Bologna and Cagliari have met 29 times at the Dall’Ara, with the hosts leading by 15 wins to six. Bologna have conceded in each of their last 13 home games in the league – an all-time negative record for them in the top-flight. Cagliari’s win in their last away game against SPAL ended a winless run of four draws and four losses on the road for the Sardinians. Cagliari have won their last two Serie A TIM games after a 12-match streak without a single win; they could win three league matches in a row for the first time since last November. Sinisa Mihajlovic has a managerial record of eight wins, two draws and two defeats against Cagliari so far – only against Chievo (9) he has won more games as a manager in the top-flight. Rodrigo Palacio has scored in five of his last 11 home games for Bologna, after failing to score in the previous 31. Four of Cagliari’s last six Serie A TIM goals against Bologna were netted by João Pedro (his joint-favourite target in Italy). Radja Nainggolan’s first Serie A TIM goal came against Bologna in October 2010 – that was the first of his four goals against the Rossoblu, his second-best target after Inter (6 goals). INTER vs BRESCIA Brescia have shared 16 draws so far in Serie A TIM against Inter – more than against any other opponent. Brescia have also conceded a Serie A TIM-record 82 goals against the Nerazzurri. Inter have lost only one of their last 11 league games against Brescia, losing back in February 2004 (W7 D3). Brescia have managed to beat Inter only once in 22 meetings at the Giuseppe Meazza, losing 16 times. Over their last 10 trips to the San Siro, Brescia have alternated between scoring and failing to score – their last meeting there ended 1-1 in 2010. Inter are unbeaten in their last nine games against newly promoted teams in Serie A TIM (W8 D1). Brescia have drawn their last two Serie A TIM games and could go unbeaten in three consecutive matches for the first time this season. Brescia have lost the most points from leading situations (31) and gained the fewest from losing positions (one) in Serie A TIM this season. Inter midfielder Nicolò Barella played 26 Serie A TIM games and scored five goals under Diego López in the 2017/18 campaign. Inter striker Romelu Lukaku has scored in each of his last three Serie A TIM home appearances –previously, he had found the net in only three of his 11 home games. Brescia have scored three Serie A TIM goals in the opening 10 minutes this season, all scored by Alfredo Donnarumma. FIORENTINA vs SASSUOLO These two sides have shared two wins apiece and two draws over their last six Serie A TIM meetings. Fiorentina have hosted Sassuolo six times so far in the top-flight (W3 D1 L2). The Viola have managed to score at least two goals in four of their six home games against Sassuolo (11 goals in total), but they failed to score in the other two. Fiorentina have won only three of their 14 home games in this campaign (D6 L5) – their worst home record at this stage of a season since 1970/71. Sassuolo have conceded seven goals in their last two away games – just one fewer than in their previous six away games combined. Giuseppe Iachini has a managerial record of two wins, two losses and a draw in Serie A TIM against Sassuolo and was also in charge of the Neroverdi for 24 games (W8 D8 L8). The reverse fixture saw Fiorentina’s Gaetano Castrovilli both score and provide an assist in the same game for the first time in Serie A TIM. Only Joaquin (1981) is older than Franck Ribery (1983) among the midfielders in the Top-5 European Leagues with 3+ goals scored this season – however, the Frenchman has yet to score a Serie A TIM home goal in the current season. Federico Chiesa hasn’t scored or assisted a single goal in his last three Serie A TIM appearances –his worst run in the league since last September. Fiorentina’s midfielder Joseph Alfred Duncan played 119 games and scored seven goals in Serie A for Sassuolo between 2015 and 2020. HELLAS VERONA vs PARMA Hellas Verona lead by seven wins to five in Serie A TIM against Parma (D3). Verona have lost only one of their last eight games against the Ducali (W5 D2). Verona lead by five wins to two in their seven meetings at the Bentegodi against Parma. The only previous meeting that wasn’t played on a Sunday between these two sides in Serie A TIM was the reverse fixture (a 1-0 win for Hellas, courtesy of a Darko Lazovic’s goal). Verona haven’t scored a single goal in their last six Serie A TIM games played on Wednesday (D2 L4). Verona have won each of their seven Serie A TIM home games in which they have taken the lead this season. Parma have won two of their last three away games in the league (D1), as many as they had won in their previous 10 on the road (D4 L4). Parma have picked-up 20 points from their first 14 away games this season – they have always finished in the top six when they’ve won this many points from their first 14 away games in a season. The first goal scored by Verona defender Marco Faraoni in Serie A TIM came against Parma in January 2012, when he was at Inter. Parma striker Andreas Cornelius has been involved in seven of Parma’s last nine goals in away games, scoring five and making two assists. LECCE vs SAMPDORIA The last six meetings between Lecce and Sampdoria have seen both sides score (average of 3.8 goals per game during this period). Sampdoria are unbeaten away to Lecce since 1991, with the hosts picking-up just one point in their last seven home games against the Blucerchiati.
