Torino-Fiorentina is a match of the 27th day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 8:45 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
The two Roman sides, first Lazio and then Roma, have been indigestible to Ivan Juric’s Torino, which after losing 2-0 in the recovery to the biancocelesti, on Monday also surrendered to the Giallorossi, dragged by a wild Dybala (3-2 and a hat-trick by the Argentine). Two setbacks that marked even more the differences between the Granata and the teams currently ahead of them in the standings.
Torino, while not disappointing from the point of view of play – against Lazio they would have deserved at least a point and at the Olimpico, in flashes, they showed good things – thus fails to fully insert themselves in the fight for a place in the European cups. Juric’s men remain pinned in tenth place, but in the event of a victory in Saturday’s early match with Fiorentina, to all intents and purposes a direct clash, they would substantially reduce the gap that now separates them from seventh place, occupied precisely by the violets, currently at +5. Vincenzo Italiano’s team arrives at the appointment rejuvenated by the victory over another direct competitor, Lazio, bent 2-1 at the “Franchi.” Second success of the calendar year for the Tuscans, who with a great performance – certainly the best in the last three months – overturned the biancocelesti first with young Kayode and then with Bonaventura, also taking 4 posts (and even missing a penalty kick).
Torino-Fiorentina: the latest lineup news
Precious the return of Buongiorno to the center of the Granata defense: next to him will be Djidji and Rodriguez while Masina could be diverted to the left lane in place of Lazaro. In the middle Ilic is expected to win out over Linetty, while in front Pellegri will challenge Sanabria. Unavailable are Lovato, Schuurs, Tameze and Vojvoda.
The move to deploy Bonaventura in the midfield alongside Arthur paid dividends against Lazio and almost certainly Italiano will replicate it. Beltran therefore always behind former Belotti, surrounded by Nico Gonzalez and Ikoné, this time preferred to Sottil. Behind is still unavailable Martinez Quarta.
The prediction
Florentin’s main problem, which in some ways also unites it with Torino itself, is continuity. After a spectacular performance like the one against Lazio, the violets rarely managed to confirm themselves in the next match. On Monday, the purple attack got back on track but it will not be easy to repeat in a stadium where the granata have so far barely conceded 8 goals, two less than the leading Inter, and where we usually do not witness goal-rich challenges. Torino will most likely avoid defeat.
The probable lineups of Torino-Fiorentina
TORINO (3-4-1-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Djidji, Buongiorno, Rodriguez; Bellanova, Ricci, Ilic, Masina; Vlasic; Zapata, Sanabria.
FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Kayode, Milenkovic, Ranieri, Biraghi; Arthur, Bonaventura; Ikoné, Beltran, Nico Gonzalez; Belotti.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1
