Eleventh-placed Torino will entertain eighth-placed Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in a mid-table Serie A clash on Monday (March 6).
The hosts are winless in three league outings and are coming off a 4-2 defeat against fierce rivals Juventus on Tuesday (February 28). Torino took the lead twice through Yann Karamoh and Antonio Sanabria in the second, but Juventus dug deep to record an impressive win.
Bologna, meanwhile, have bounced back well from a 1-0 home defeat to Monza in February, with consecutive wins. In their previous outing, they beat Inter Milan 1-0 at home, thanks to Riccardo Orsolini's 76th-minute strike.
A win will help Torino climb into the top half of the standings, while Bologna will need to avoid defeat to stay in the top ten.
