Fiorentina are going through a rough patch in the top flight, having recorded just one win from their last six league-matches. As of now, Viola are 13 points adrift of a European qualification spot, therefore their season might be decided by their progress in knockout competitions. Last time out, Vincenzo Italiano’s side managed to earn a point against third-placed Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, courtesy of Nicolas Gonzalez’ 49th-minute equalizer. Viola were clearly the better side on Sunday, having registered six shots on target compared to just one by Lazio. Their performance will certainly boost Italiano’s confidence, going into the Cup fixture in the mid-week
Torino, on the other hand, scored two late goals to earn a dramatic draw against Empoli in their last outing. Goals from Sebastiano Luperto and Razvan Marin gave a two-goal lead to the Blues, before Torino netted twice in the final ten minutes of the match, through strikes from Samuel Ricci and Antonio Sanabria, and earned a point at Stadio Carlo Castellani. Meanwhile, when it came to the Copa Italia, the Maroons had knocked out AC Milan (1-0) in the round of 16, courtesy of an extra-time strike from Michel Adopo.
Luka Jovic is likely to lead the line for Fiorentina, while Arthur Cabral is back after recovering from injury and could feature at some point on Wednesday. Midfielders Riccardo Sottil and Gaetano Castrovilli are still sidelined with injuries. Meanwhile, new signing Salvatore Sirigu is set to make his debut for Viola. As for Torino, central defender Kofi Djidji is suspended for the Cup fixture against Fiorentina, while Pietro Pellegrini and Valentino Lazaro are occupying the medical room. Antonio Sabaria might spearhead the attack, with Vlasic and Miranchuk in support.
