Performance analysis.
Both teams are in excellent form and will be hoping to win this game and move up their position in the Serie A standings for the 2023 24 season. However, the home team Fiorentina are more confident due to their dominant head-to-head record.
Fio have won 7, drawn 4 and lost 3 of their 14 recent meetings in all competitions, and manager Vincenzo Giano and his team have been in very good form recently, winning 4 and drawing 3 in their last 7 matches.
If limited to home games, the Purple Shirts have won 4 and drawn 1 in the last 5 games, including 3 wins in Serie A.
Torino, on the other hand, have lost only one of their last nine matches, with the remaining four winning and drawing four. However, their performance abroad has been quite poor, with only one win, two draws and three defeats in their last six away matches.
To make matters worse, Torino have scored just 2 goals in their 6 away matches mentioned above.
The team's attacking problems have caused some problems for head coach Ivan Juric. Therefore, it will be very difficult for Torino to get points against Fio in the 18th round of Serie A.
Match data. Fiorentina have lost just one of their last 13 home games against Torino. Specifically, they have a record of 8 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in 13 matches against Torino at the Artemio Frankie Stadium.
