Torino vs Salernitana prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Torino host newly promoted Salernitana at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A on Sunday, with both teams having lost their opening two fixtures of the season.

Torino have lost both their previous fixtures against Atalanta and Fiorentina by a 2-1 scoreline. Ivan Juric's side are currently 16th in the league. However, as it is still early in the campaign, Il Toro will be confident of being able to make up ground on the teams in the top half of the table.

Salernitana are currently 18th in the table and will be going into Sunday's fixture off the back of a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Roma last time out.

Fabrizio Castori's side are among the favorites to be relegated this season, but have a good chance of kicking off their season with a win against a poor Torino side.

Both teams will be desperate to get their first win under their belts and that should make for a well-contested matchup.
