Fiorentina VS Torino live preview Serie A

Fiorentina：

Fiorentina enters this match with significant momentum and a chance to secure a Champions League spot in the hotly contested race for European qualification.Viola has accumulated nine wins, three draws, and five losses in league matches this season, placing them just one point behind fourth-placed Bologna and three points behind AC Milan in third.In their recent outing, Vincenzo Italiano's side secured a 1-0 victory over Monza, extending their unbeaten run to seven matches, including five wins and two draws. They have suffered only one defeat in their last 10 games.During this period, Viola capitalized on their good form by advancing to the knockout rounds of the Conference League, finishing at the top of their group. They are set to face either Rapid Vienna or Debreceni VSC in the next round.Notably, Fiorentina has shown improved defensive solidity, keeping clean sheets in their last two matches and conceding only one goal in their last four league games, which occurred in their 1-1 draw against Roma.

Torino：

In the meantime, Torino will travel to Florence with pleasant memories after putting an end to a 32-match winless streak at Stadio Artemio Franchi with a 1-0 victory here last season.The Bulls have established a solid position for themselves approaching the midpoint of the season, sitting 11 points clear of the relegation zone. A victory in this match could propel them to eighth place, with a bit of luck in the results elsewhere this weekend.Ivan Juric's side played to a 1-1 draw at home against Udinese last weekend, extending their unbeaten run in the league to four matches, including two wins and a draw.Nevertheless, the Torino boss will be eager to enhance his team's away record in the New Year, as they have managed only eight points in as many away matches so far and have failed to secure a win in their last three on the road.
