Torino, Recent FormLast time out for Torino resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Frosinone in a match they really wanted to win. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Frosinone's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They've kept 7 clean sheets so far this season.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino and recording 3 wins in that same period.
Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Lecce last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Lecce, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager Aurelio Andreazzoli will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
Francesco Caputo will be hoping to create problems for Torino in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Empoli.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Torino will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Azzurri, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 7 meetings between the two.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in the league, but Torino will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
Torino manager Ivan Jurić has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ange N'Guessan (Thigh), Nemanja Radonjić (Physical discomfort) and Perr Schuurs (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Tommaso Baldanzi (Sprained ankle) and Giuseppe Pezzella (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Aurelio Andreazzoli will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
