Salernitana come into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Lecce prior to the international break.
It took only 6 minutes for Lecce to open the scoring and Salernitana had no answer for the remainder of the game, with the second goal coming from the penalty spot in the 98th minute for the hosts.
It was the first defeat of the season in Serie A for Salernitana and they have failed to win any of their opening 3 fixtures.
Salernitana started the 2023/24 Serie A season with a 2-2 draw at Roma and followed that with a 1-1 draw at Udinese.
Salernitana were leading in both matches going into the final 20 minutes.
Trends show Salernitana are undefeated in 15 of their last 18 Serie A games. However, they have recorded only 1 win from their 6 most recent matches in the league.
Salernitana have not been beaten in their last 8 straight home clashes in Serie A and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 home Serie A games.
Torino make the trip to the Stadio Arechi having beat Genoa 1-0 at home in their most recent Serie A match.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 4th minute of added time at the end of the game, to the delight of the home crowd.
The win over Genoa was the first victory of the season for Torino and will put them in a confident mood ahead of this match.
Genoa started the season with a 0-0 draw at home against Cagliari and were then comprehensively beaten 4-1 at the San Siro by AC Milan, conceding 3 goals in the first half.
Trends show Torino are unbeaten in 7 of their last 9 Serie A fixtures.
They are not easy to beat when playing on the road and Torino are undefeated in 6 of their 7 most recent away Serie A matches.
Torino have scored at least one goal in their last 8 away league games.
Team news: Salernitana are without the injured duo of Boulaye Dia and Flavius Daniliuc.
Torino also have two players on the treatment table, with Antonio Sanabria and Koffi Djidji both missing out.
This should be a closely fought contest and both teams should find the back of the net. Salernitana are not easy to beat at home but Torino have a good recent away record in Serie A and it could be the away team who record a 2-1 victory.
