Torino and Hellas Verona get underway in the new year when they face off at the Olimpico di Torino in round 16 of the Serie A season on Thursday.
Ivan Juric’s side completed an impressive league double over the visitors last season and will be looking to continue in the same vein.
Torino will head into the second half of the season in sky-high spirits after picking up two wins and two draws from their four friendlies during the 2022 FIFA World Cup break.
They have now returned to Serie A, where they are unbeaten in four of their last five matches, claiming three wins and two draws since October.
With 21 points from 15 matches, Torino are currently ninth in the league table, six points off Atalanta in the Conference League qualification spot.
Meanwhile, Hellas Verona will head into the new year desperate to turn their fortunes around after an underwhelming first half.
Marco Zaffaroni’s men are firm contenders for relegation as they sit rock-bottom in the Serie A table with five points from 15 matches.
Hellas Verona have lost 11 of their last 12 matches across all competitions, with a goalless draw with NK Istra on December 18 being the exception.
