Fiorentina
- Fiorentina are winless in their last three home games (D1, L2).
- ACF Fiorentina have conceded 17 goals in their 11 home Serie A games this season.
- Fiorentina’s situation is desperate after collecting just 17 points from 23 games to sit 18th in the Serie A table in the 2025-26 campaign.
- Vanoli has been tasked with keeping the club afloat by getting the team to be a lot more compact and organised after assuming the manager’s role in November 2025.
- Fiorentina are on a three-match losing streak, including a 1-3 Coppa Italia home defeat to Calcio Como and a 2-1 defeat at Napoli in Serie A.
Torino
- Torino have won one and lost two of their last three Serie A away fixtures.
- Baroni took over Torino in July 2025 and has made the side into a very different team.
- He is more flexible and open, preferring to utilise the wide areas of the field and create chances by playing a quick, direct style of soccer.
- His side are a safe 13th in the table with 26 points.
- They are still only 3-3-5 away from home, averaging just 0.91 goals scored and 1.82 conceded per away match.
- The best of their creativity usually comes from their wing-backs, who create overloaded situations for Giovanni Simeone to put away and the forwards to get on the end of dangerous balls.
Head-to-Head
- The last five meetings between these sides in Serie A have seen Fiorentina unbeaten (Won 2, Drawn 3).
- The 0-0 draw at Torino in the corresponding fixture five months ago was cagey and may be a reference point for this match.
Key Players
- Rolando Mandragora - free-kick and set-piece prowess is an important weapon for the Viola, who can’t seem to get going in front of goal without the Italian international’s late runs from midfield.
- Mandragora is also the team’s top scorer in Serie A with six goals in 23 games.
- Giovanni Simeone - the focal point for Torino’s transitions as the wing-backs create overloaded situations for him and the forwards.
Betting Insights
- Fiorentina are the slight favourites here at 1.83.
- Torino can be backed at 4.2 to win in Florence.
- Over 2.5 goals market is finely poised at 1.93.
- Both teams to score looks tempting at 1.8 given Fiorentina’s defensive frailties and Torino’s transition threat.
Prediction
- An even affair with an away goal looks likely.
- It may take a piece of individual brilliance to break the deadlock.
