Torino will entertain Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A on Sunday. The visitors have endured a winless run in the league and are at the bottom of the league standings. Toro have not fared much better with two wins, and are 14th in the league standings with eight points.
The hosts returned to winning ways after three games in the league last week with a 1-0 home triumph over reigning champions Napoli. Giovanni Simeone scored the only goal of the match in the 32nd minute.
The Grifone saw their winning streak end after three games last week as they resumed their league campaign after the international break with a goalless draw against Parma. They kept just their second clean sheet of the season in that draw.
