Fiorentina and Torino both seek first win of 2025

Two teams in search of redemption: Fiorentina and Torino will face each other at the Franchi at lunchtime in a delicate match.

The Viola have not won since 8 December against Cagliari and have only obtained one point, a draw with Juve, in their last five matches.

The Granata`s last victory dates back to 13 December, against Empoli, and since then have lost against Bologna and obtained three draws against Udinese, Parma and Juventus. A boost is urgently needed to avoid being sucked into the lower reaches of the standings.

HEAD TO HEAD

Torino have won 50 Serie A matches against Fiorentina (D51 L50), more than against any other team in the competition. However, the Granata have only won two of their 10 most recent matches against the Viola in the top-flight (D3 L5).

Fiorentina have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three Serie A matches against Torino (W2 D1), as many times as in their previous 14; the Viola have not recorded four clean sheets in a row against the Granata in the competition since October 1969.

DID YOU KNOW?

After a run of eight wins in a row in Serie A, Fiorentina are now winless in their last five matches in the Italian top-flight (D1 L4), but have not gone longer without winning in the league since February 2023 (6).

In their last 15 Serie A matches, Torino have earned only two wins (D5 L8, while, in this period, no team has earned fewer victories than the Granata in the competition.

Fiorentina are, along with Inter, one of the two teams to have scored the most goals from penalties in Serie A this season (five), while Torino are, alongside Milan, one of the two teams yet to have conceded a goal from the penalty spot – not since the 2021/22 season have the Viola scored more penalty goals in a Serie A campaign (9).

PLAYERS

Lucas Beltrán is just one goal involvement away from last season`s tally in Serie A, with three goals and four assists in 16 games in 2024/25 compared to six goals and two assists in 32 matches in 2023/24.

After his goal against Juventus, Nikola Vlasic became the fourth Torino midfielder to have both 2+ goals and 2+ assists in three different Serie A seasons on record (from 2004/05), after Daniele Baselli, Marco Benassi and Alessandro Rosina. Indeed, he could score in two games in a row in the Italian top-flight for only the second time in his career, after a run of three matches across August and September 2022.
