Torino and Fiorentina will battle it out in a Serie A for another with both sides experiencing relatively different seasons right now as Torino sit in the usual fight for the top half just as Fiorentina aim to crack the top five.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Fiorentina in such excellent form and the club are currently riding high above the likes of Roma and Lazio and sit just a few points behind Juventus.

In fact, their game against Udinese being suspended, the club now have a game in hand over the Old Lady and should they win that and this clash with Torino, then they will be into fifth.
At the same time as this, whilst pretty unlikely, given the mathematical standing and the idea that Juventus have slightly ignited their title charge once again, if the Florence outfit leap ahead of them this last in the season, then surely that means they must be considered as serious contenders for the top three.
Much of this has come from the incredible form of Dusan Vlahovic and it does seem as if Fiorentina fans will keep him until the end of the season at least.
The forward currently has 16 goals in 19 games for his side and is ahead of the likes of the in-form Ciro Immobile in this race already, and as long as Vlahovic is fit and available, there is always a serious chance of a top four finish.
These 16 goals have made up almost 50% of the club's 34 inside Serie A so far this season and it does put them as one of the highest scorers in the division, with only the top four sides and Lazio netting more.
As for Torino, their season has gone near enough as expected and as has been the case for the past few seasons, they find themselves just above the relegation zone by a few points and fighting to get themselves into the top 10 once more.
It hasn’t been completely torrid for the Turin outfit, however, as they are on 25 points, have a game in hand, and can break into the top 10 ahead of Hellas Verona with a win in that game.
Moreover, three points in that game would bring them within just four points of Jose Mourinho's Roma and Maurizio Sarri's Lazio.
Forebet predicts a tight game here and one that will see under 2.5 goals and a draw.
