Toro have struggled to get going in front of goal recently, scoring just once in their last five games. Their struggles have continued at home as well, scoring just twice in their last five games.
Nikola Vlasic was not in the squad against Lecce in Serie A as a precaution but is expected to be named in the starting XI in this match. Duván Zapata made an appearance from the bench and is expected to start here.
The Canarini have conceded 10 goals in their last five games, recording just one win in that period. They have suffered defeats in their last four away games in the Coppa Italia. They have scored at least once in six of their last seven games in all competitions and are expected to find the back of the net here.
