The Serie A is back in action with a set of important fixtures this weekend as Fiorentina take on Torino at the Olimpico di Torino on Friday. Both teams have failed to meet expectations this season and will want to turn their campaign around this month.
Torino are currently in 17th place in the Serie A standings and are one defeat away from slipping into the relegation zone. The Turin-based outfit played out a 2-2 draw against Benevento and has a point to prove going into this game.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the Serie A table and have endured a difficult season. The Florentine giants have conceded eight goals in their last three games and cannot afford to slip up this weekend.
