Torino will take on Sampdoria at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in round 14 of the Italian Serie A on Wednesday (November 9).
The visitors will look to get one over Ivan Juric's side, having suffered a league double last season.
Torino were sent crashing down to earth in the Serie A, as they lost 2-1 to Bologna last weekend. Before that, they were on a three-game winning streak, including a 4-0 victory over Cittadella on October 18.
With 17 points from 13 games, Torino are tenth in the Serie A standings, level on points with ninth-placed Salernitana.
Moreover, Sampdoria were handed a second consecutive defeat, as they lost 2-0 to Fiorentina on Sunday. That followed a 3-0 loss at Inter Milan on October 29, which snapped their two-game winning streak.
With six points from 13 games, Sampdoria are 19th in the standings, one point above rock-bottom Hellas Verona.
