Fiorentina - Torino Game comments

Italy - Cup: Fiorentina vs Torino

The last thing Torino players are thinking about is Italian cup. Not even the change of coach brought any novelties in the team; they managed to come up front twice in Bologna but they ended up suffering a convincing defeat. After this loss they dropped to the relegation zone and they are in for a tough spring. Till the end of this year they will play against Napoli on Sunday at Olimpico and that is definitely a much more important game than this one. Fiorentina are also thinking about the trip to Genoa, where they will play Sampdoria but coach Prandelli will include several starters in the line-up.

Purple in a good run


After the triumph in Bucharest, Viola managed to take the third place in Champions League group stage and they will continue the competition in Europe in UEFA Cup. Also, triumphs in Serie A over Torino and Catania last week saw them keep their place among top five. They are only a point behind Milan and Napoli and after a poor start this is certainly the best case scenario. Like in the last season, Prandelli's side play better at Franchi than away and precisely few away defeats prevented them from getting even closer to the top. The key players are in perfect form and it is a real shame that championship will take a break after the 17th round.

Torino were recently ran over by Fiorentina

Precisely the naive home loss against the purple was the lat straw. De Biasi was sacked and final 1:4 score showed how big a crisis they are in. The team was clueless, without a plan or desire to fight back after the early conceded goal. The returnee on the bench, Novellino hasn't managed to change many things on Sunday in Bologna although his side played well in the first half. Incredible mistakes of defense saw them suffer a humiliating defeat. They have gone a long time without a win and Napoli are not easy rivals. Interestingly, until this cup round, Torino played extra time in both matches, they beat Serie B teams, Brescia and Livorno on home ground.

Betting Verdict

Prandelli will probably give a chance to some of the players that have been out of focus, first of all Pazzini and few starters might take their place in the starting line-up. Novellino already announced a chance for fringe players. On the match day you will see the absentees on our website as it is still early, but anyway Fiorentina are a much better team and they should win without problems here.
