Serie A

Torino looking to bounce back against Fiorentina

Torino will want to forget their heavy defeat to Inter, and will hunt down their first win of the season against Fiorentina.

There are already three important points at stake at the Olimpico Grande Torino, where the hosts will be welcoming Fiorentina. Baroni must forget the heavy opening defeat to Inter, and to do so, he can also rely on his home support. Fiorentina also had a bitter first game, with Cagliari drawing level late on, and will be determined to get their first win of the season.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

83 official matches between the two teams in Turin, with 42 Torino wins (the last 4-0 in Serie A 2021/22), 26 draws (the last 0-0 in Serie A 2023/24) and 15 wins for Fiorentina (the last 1-0 in last year's Serie A).

Pioli made his Serie A debut as a coach against Torino, on Parma's bench: 1-1 at Olimpico Grande Torino in September 10, 2006. Pioli achieved his largest win as a Serie A coach against Granata: Torino-Milan 0-7 in May 2021.

COACHES

Baroni's only success (April 7, 2019) in six matches against Pioli, was the Tuscans' coach's last bench with the Viola: Fiorentina-Frosinone 0-1, his last game in charge before returning to Florence last summer.
