Almeria will face Torino at the Pinatar Arena Football Center on Friday (December 16) in a friendly.
The La Liga outfit have had mixed results on their return to the top flight but are pushing for the top half of the standings. Almeria beat Getafe 1-0 in their last game, with Leo Baptistao scoring the sole goal just before the half-hour mark. Almeria will play the final of their three slated friendlies this weekend. They are winless in their previous two outings.
Torino, meanwhile, hit a good run of form just before the international break after struggling in the last month. They played out a 1-1 draw against Jose Mourinho's Roma in their last game before the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup. Torino looked set to come away with all three points before I Giallorossi drew level via a Nemanja Matic stunner at the death.
Il Toro will host Hellas Verona on their return to competitive football next year.
