Two sides separated by just goal-difference in the middle of the Serie A points table will be up against each other on Sunday afternoon as Torino host Fiorentina at Olimpico di Torino. The visitors are currently occupying 11th spot in the Italian top flight standings, having collected 49 points from 35 games, while Toro are sitting one place behind Viola. Both teams are heading into the match on the back of victories, with the hosts securing a narrow 1-0 top flight-win away to Hellas Verona last weekend, while Vincenzo Italiano’s side got the better of Basel 3-1 in the second leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final tie on Thursday night.

Torino secured their 13th Serie A-win of the season against Verona last Sunday thanks to Nikola Vlasic’s lone goal on the half-hour mark. The result helped Toro to extend their unbeaten run to three games. Ivan Juric’s men have lost only one of their last six matches, while taking 11 points in the period. Meanwhile, Torino’s home-form hasn’t been very great, having taken just 21 points from a possible 51 this season and they are winless in their last five top flight games in front of their own supporters, losing three of those fixtures. However, an impressive run of the road has kept the Maroons in contention to secure a top-half finish, as they have taken 13 points from their last five away-fixtures.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are now into two cup finals, and have a chance to claim the Coppa Italia and the Europa Conference League double. Following a first-leg collapse at Stadio Artemio Franchi last week, Italiano’s side showed great fighting spirit and turned the tie on its head in the away leg at St. Jakob-Park thanks to Nicolas Gonzalez’s brace and Antonin Barak’s decider in the129th minute. Viola will take on Premier League club West Ham United in the Conference League-final in Prague next month. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Fiorentina will play Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia showdown at Stadio Olimpico. Winning either of the two finals is the only for Viola to qualify for next season’s Europa League, as they are currently trailing the top five by 15 points. When it comes to the Serie A, the Tuscan club has recorded 13 wins, 10 draws and 12 defeats from 35 fixtures so far, and their latest top flight success came against Udinese (2-0) last weekend.
Torino probable starting lineup: Milinkovic-Savic, Djidji, Schurrs, Buongiorno, Singo, Ricci, Ilic, Rodriguez, Karamoh, Vlasic, Pellegri
Fiorentina probable starting lineup: Terracciano, Venuti, Martinez Quarta, Ranieri, Biraghi, Duncan, Mandragora, Ikone, Barak, Saponara, Kouame
