Fiorentina
Torino and Fiorentina square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Serie A game at Stadio Olimpico di Torino. Il Toro were not in action at the weekend, and, no doubt, they are eager to impress in their first game of the year. Ivan Juric’s men produce much better showings at home than on the travels, but this will be anything for the hosts. To make things even worse for the hosts, key attacker Andrea Belotti is sidelined with injury, as well as fellow striker Simone Verdi.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, continue to rely on Serbia rising star Dusan Vlahovic, who has been scoring goals for fun in the 2021/2022 Serie A campaign. The Viola aim to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and seeing that Torino are without Andrea Belotti, away win should be considered. Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is on international duty with Morocco.
Highlighted Player (Andrea Belotti):
Andrea Belotti began his youth career at Grumellese at the age of 10 and after spending three years at the club, he joined Albinolefe in 2006.
