Torino vs Debrecen Prediction & Betting tips
In most national football competitions, the ball does not roll yet, but in the preliminary rounds of European tournaments it is all about the marbles. Torino tries to take the first step to the group stage of the Europa League on Thursday evening at the expense of Hungarian Debrecen.
Torino:
Torino had a good season in Italy, but seventh place was not enough to force European football, because number 8 Lazio Roma was automatically placed in the Europa League group stage thanks to the cup win. Thanks to haggling between AC Milan and UEFA about non-compliance with the rules of Financial Fair Play, the door remained ajar for the Walter Mazzarri team all the while.
The redeeming word came at the end of June: AC Milan has withdrawn from participating in the Europa League next season thanks to an agreement with UEFA. This gives the team the chance to put their affairs in order financially and thus avoids a mega fine. Torino takes the place of the Milanese.
Due to the late confirmation, this is not an ideal preparation, but Torino is happy to be able to participate in the Europa League for the first time since the 2014/2015 season. At that time, the team reached the quarterfinals in which Zenit St Petersburg proved too strong.
Torino did not move on the transfer market last summer. Simone Zaza came over from Valencia for 12 million, despite the fact that he only managed to score four times on a rental basis at Torino. Defenders Ola Aina, Koffi Djidji and Cristian Ansaldi also saw their lease being transferred to a final takeover. On the other hand was the departure of Serbian midfielder Adem Ljajic.
Debrecen:
Debrecen, from Hungary’s second city, finished third in the Hungarian league last season. This earned the team a place in the preliminary round of the Europa League, in which the team of coach Andras Herczeg will try to reach the group stage for the first time since the 2010/2011 season. PSV was one of the opponents in that season, with Metalist Kharkiv and Sampdoria. With five defeats (including two against PSV) from six games, the Hungarians finished in last place at the time. In the nine years that followed, Debrecen always failed in the front portal of the European final tournaments.
Debrecen has already completed a qualification round. In the first round, Albanian Kukesi was the opponent. After a simple 3-0 home win, a 1-1 draw in Albania was enough to reach the second preliminary round.
The Swiss Haris Tabakovic was Debrecen’s most valuable player last season. He scored twelve times. The leader and stronghold of the team is central midfielder Daniel Tozser. The 31-time Hungarian international played in the past for Watford, Genoa and Racing Genk and returned to Debrecen in 2016.
