ACF Fiorentina vs Torino

Fiorentina host Torino at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in early September, and after rocky opening weekends for both clubs, this one already carries some weight. Fiorentina and Torino currently sit in the bottom half of the table following matchday one defeats, so neither side wants to fall further behind so early in the Serie A campaign. Fiorentina were battered 0-4 away at Roma, with Donyell Malen's hat-trick doing the damage while Albert Gudmundsson struggled up front and Dodô offered one of few bright spots. Torino also lost their opener, going down 1-2 to Milan despite a stunning stoppage-time strike from Che Adams that hinted at the quality he can bring. Historically Fiorentina hold the edge in this fixture, winning 13 of the last 31 meetings to Torino's 5, and the two sides played out a tight 2-2 draw the last time they met. Expect a tense, cagey affair between two teams eager to shake off opening-day frustration and get their seasons moving. Our prediction: 2-1
