"Eventually falling short last season as they missed out on the chance to book a top-half finish among Italy's elite, Torino are desperate to go one-step further this time around. Last seen putting in what was a sensational performance as they clinched a 1-0 victory at home against reigning Serie A champions Napoli, Marco Baroni's men will be dreaming of a repeat performance here."
"With their sights firmly set on finding a route into the top-10, the Bulls should be smelling a golden opportunity when they return to Turin on Sunday lunchtime. Heading into October's International break with a 3-3 stalemate away at Italian giants Lazio, the former Verona boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous four domestic appearances across all competitions."
"Enduring what has been a public crisis since opening up the new campaign, it is no secret that Genoa are widely regarded as a standout relegation contender this time around. Forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against Parma when returning from October's international break last weekend, Patrick Vieira has some mounting pressure on his shoulders in Liguria."
The Serie A title race looks set to remain tight as several high-profile Italian matches take centre stage on Sunday, including Lazio versus Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico. Torino aim to climb toward the top-10 after a stirring 1-0 home win over Napoli and recent solid form under Marco Baroni, with only one defeat in four domestic outings. Torino also progressed in the Coppa Italia and have secured consecutive home victories for the first time since March. Genoa face a public crisis and relegation concerns after a 0-0 draw with Parma, leaving manager Patrick Vieira under mounting pressure.
