This season has not been a great one so far for Torino or Fiorentina in Serie A. The pair meet on Friday night in Turin, as the home side looks for vital points.
Torino are currently 18th place in the Serie A table after a difficult league campaign so far. Il Toro are however level on points with 17th place Cagliari, but a defeat against Cagliari earlier this season means that the home team find themselves in the relegation zone courtesy of an inferior head-to-head record.
A 2-2 draw at Benevento last time out means that Torino head into this game without a win in four league games, although three of their four winless matches have ended all square. In fact, the Granata have won just once in their previous league 13 outings.
Davide Nicola’s team have failed to win in their previous 11 home matches in the Italian top-flight. However, five of their last six league games have finished in draws.
Fiorentina are experiencing an inconsistent campaign, which has the Viola 12th place in the Serie A table. Their recent run of two wins, two losses and a draw rather sum up the visitors form this season.
Last time out in the Italian top-flight, Fiorentina recorded a 2-1 win over Crotone. The defeat followed a 6-0 hammering at Napoli in their previous league outing.
The visitors recent Serie A outings have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous six outings in the Italian top-flight.
The Viola’s recent away record is poor, as they have won just one of their last nine league matches on their travels while losing four of their last five away matches. However, that run is understandable considering that run included trips to Milan, Atalanta, Juventus, Lazio and Napoli.

Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which will do Torino no favours in their fight against relegation this season.
