Bologna vs Torino: Torino to win

Bologna's expected 1.0 xG at home meets Torino's 1.5 xG on the road, yet the model gives Torino a 48.8% chance to win. The numbers suggest an edge for the visitors despite a recent head‑to‑head bias toward the hosts.

Both sides arrive with modest form – Bologna with two draws and two losses in their last five, Torino with three defeats and a win. Their recent meetings have largely favoured Bologna, but the current statistical picture points elsewhere.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Torino to win Solid lean Strong · Torino favoured

The model rates Torino’s win probability at 48.8% versus Bologna’s 25.2%, driven by Torino’s higher expected‑goals and recent away form.

Show the maths
Bologna’s xG of 1.0 versus Torino’s 1.5 creates a 0.5‑goal advantage for the visitors. Translating that gap into win probabilities yields roughly a 48.8% chance for Torino, 25.2% for Bologna and 26.0% for a draw. The model’s BTTS odds sit near 50‑50, confirming both sides can find the net, but the goal differential still favours Torino. Hence the highest single‑market probability is Torino to win.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) 50.9% model probability

With Bologna averaging 1.0 expected goals and Torino averaging 1.5, the model gives a 50.9% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 49.1% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Bologna 1.0, Torino 1.5) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 49.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 50.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals 54.4% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.5 (Bologna 1.0 + Torino 1.5) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 54.4% chance against 45.6% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Bologna 1.0 + Torino 1.5 = 2.5 combined): 45.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 54.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Bologna at 25.2%, the draw at 26.0%, and Torino at 48.8% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 12.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Bologna

DLLD

Bologna’s last five league results (D‑L‑L‑D) include a 3‑3 draw against Inter at home and a 0‑1 loss to Lazio at home, followed by a 0‑1 defeat away at Atalanta and a 2‑2 home draw with Sassuolo. Scoring five goals while conceding seven shows a leaky defence and modest attack, which undercuts their chances of securing a win here.

Torino

DLLW

Torino’s recent form (D‑L‑L‑W) features a 2‑2 draw versus Juventus at home, a 1‑2 home loss to AC Milan, another 1‑2 away loss to Sassuolo, and a 2‑1 away win over Fiorentina. The three defeats highlight defensive frailties, but the win against Fiorentina demonstrates they can convert their 1.5 away xG into goals, supporting a positive outlook for them on the road.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, Bologna have won three (including a 2‑0 win in December) and drawn two, with Torino yet to secure a victory, suggesting a historical edge for Bologna that the model still discounts in favor of Torino’s current form.
