The capital club fought for fourth place in Serie A last season, but ultimately missed out by just one point to Juventus. Gasperini has been in charge since the summer and is still rebuilding the team’s play, but there have already been some positive results. In the Europa League, the Italians have won four out of six group matches. Domestically, they even managed to reach the top of the table at times, though defeats are not uncommon. Nevertheless, they recently secured back-to-back confident 2-0 victories over Sassuolo.
The Turin side collected only 44 points last season, finishing a modest eleventh on tiebreakers. This season’s results have not been much better, but in December they beat Cremonese and Sassuolo in succession. However, they then lost at home to Cagliari. After a resounding 3-0 win over Verona, they suffered home defeats to Udinese and then failed to respond to a couple of goals from Atalanta.
The home team is just starting its journey in this tournament. Torino beat Modena 1-0 in the cup during the summer, and then Pisa by the same score at the end of September.
