Parma vs. Torino brings Matchday 7 to a close

Parma vs. Torino concludes Matchday 7 of Serie A at the Tardini. Having put their away defeat to Inter behind them, Gilardino’s side are searching for their first points under their new coach as they look to move away from the lower echelons of the table and draw level with Torino. The Granata, however, have turned things around after a difficult start, collecting seven points from their last four matches - including three against Udinese last weekend - and will be looking to continue their improved run.
