Bullish About Goals: Torino boast one of Serie A's most potent attacks

"Seventh-placed Torino have scored more Serie A goals this season than anyone except Roma"

Back Over 3.5 Goals @ 3.1511/5 in Crotone v Torino

We made gains in Spain yesterday as Eibar overcame a depleted Celta Vigo 1-0.

For this week's last hurrah we've crossed the Med and hit the toe of Italy.

Calabria-based FC Crotone are in the heat of their first ever Serie A campaign. It's been tough, of course, and they've been beaten in 9/12. All is not lost, however. At their own Stadio Ezio Scida, the Sharks have scored at least once in 5/5.

With the league's second-worst defence (home and away, they're leaking at a rate of two goals a game) their major problems today will be at the other end.

Sinisa Mihajlovic's Torino have seen 10/12 league games go Over 2.5 Goals this term. In all 10, the Bulls have both scored and conceded. In fact, the seventh-placed outfit have scored more times themselves (27 in 12) than anyone else except Roma.

With seven of Toro's 12 games even getting to Over 3.5 Goals, we fancy a Sunday-afternoon thriller to rival James Bond on ITV.
