On Friday night, to open the twenty-second day of Serie A, there will be Torino and Cagliari separated by just two points in the standings on the eve of the match. Considering that the two teams did not start with the same objective, this means that at least one of the two is either very happy with the current championship or is rather disappointed and, the latter is the case of Torino who cannot say it is happy with the current eleventh place that lifts the Granata by only four points from the third-last place. Cagliari, on the other hand, is where they thought, in the midst of a very fierce relegation battle that is involving many teams. However, the last round of the championship smiled on both teams with Torino who, at a disadvantage of one goal and one man in Florence, managed to recover thanks to the goal by Ginietis and with Cagliari who overturned the initial advantage of Lecce in the last half hour of the game with a prodigious 4-1. The morale, therefore, is substantially there on both sides even if at Toro there is some bad mood and some latent dissatisfaction, including that of coach Paolo Vanoli for the current market which, still, has not given him the striker he hoped for while Davide Nicola, speaking of forwards, hopes to be able to have Zito Luvumbo back after more than a month of absence.
The 1-1 in Florence, undoubtedly positive, represents the 4th consecutive draw for Torino but also the eleventh match not won in the last 12. The overall balance of the Granata in the championship, so far, is 5 wins, 8 draws and 8 defeats.
The numbers of the defense are good (among other things in Florence penalized by the long numerical inferiority): only 26 goals conceded so far in Serie A promote Torino as the seventh least beaten rearguard of the entire championship. The offensive department is still lacking, however, scoring, on average, 1 goal per match (21 in 21 games).
7 points in 3 games for a team fighting for salvation is an enviable cross-section and so Cagliari, after the 4-1 against Lecce, says Hello to fourteenth place in the standings.
The rossoblù, away from home, have won only 2 times in the championship so far and are coming off an excellent draw at San Siro against Milan. Before the last trio of games, Cagliari did not have great numbers from its attack but, in the last 3 games, the rossoblù have scored 7 goals.
The draw in Florence was almost a feat for Torino, considering the strength of their opponent, the lead to recover and the numerical inferiority. From this base and a defense that confirms itself as more than performing, Torino restarts and, although Cagliari is in good shape, the Granata after having come out undefeated from the derby and Fiorentina seem to have the chances to be able to return to victory in this match whose prediction goes, according to the BetMines algorithm, more easily towards the 1 sign.
Torino (4-2-3-1): Milinkovic – Savic; Vojvoda, Maripan, Coco, Masina; Ricci, Tameze; Lazaro, Vlasic, Karamoh; Adams. Coach: Vanoli.
Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Caprile, Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert; Makoumbou, Adopo; Zortea, Gaetano, Felici; Piccoli. Coach: Nicola.
