Parma and Torino return to action in the Italian Serie A when they go head-to-head at the Ennio Tardini Stadium on Monday. Having failed to win their last five meetings, the Gialloblu will aim to get the better of Torino and notch their first victory of the new league campaign.
Parma had to dig deep in the Coppa Italia round of 32 on Thursday when they picked up a penalty-shootout victory over Spezia after a thrilling 2-2 stalemate in normal time.
Head coach Carlos Cuesta hopes the midweek cup result can serve as the start of a turning point as the Gialloblu return to Serie A, where they have failed to win their four matches so far (2L, 2D).
Off the back of a 16th-placed finish in the league last season, Parma have managed just two points from the first 12 available this term to sit 19th in the table, only above rock-bottom Lecce.
