Torino will be looking to extend their three-match unbeaten run as they host Hellas Verona on Wednesday.
After suffering a dismal start to the season, Torino are showing signs of life as they look to put some distance between themselves and the drop zone. Verona, on the other hand, snapped their three-game losing streak on the weekend as they won 1-0 against 10-men Spezia.
Marco Giampaolo's Torino have looked a lot more in their element over the last three games than they had in the first 12 gameweeks and with Andrea Belotti hitting good form, it looks like they could finally hit a green patch after enduring a difficult start to the season.
Torino will be happy to have registered a comfortable 3-0 victory against Parma in their recent outing without having to rely on their talismanic striker to score any of the goals although he did chip in with a pair of assists.
Verona looked like they could be exposed against a meek Spezia but they took advantage of a red card to Julian Chabot and walked away with all three points thanks to a goal from Mattia Zaccagni in the 75th minute of the game.
Ivan Juric's men will be looking to cap off this week with two more wins with a match against bottom of the Serie A table Crotone lined up on the weekend.
