Fri Dec 13 21:25:11 UTC 2024: ## Serie A Preview: Empoli Host Struggling Torino in Friday Night Clash

**VERONA, ITALY** – Empoli will host a struggling Torino side on Friday evening in a Serie A clash at 19:45 GMT. Empoli, currently three points and two places above their opponents, will be looking to continue their strong form after a 4-1 away victory against Hellas Verona last week. Their starting lineup features Lorenzo Colombo as the lone striker, replacing Pietro Pellegri.

Torino, on the other hand, are enduring a poor run of form, sitting 12th in the table. Manager Paolo Vanoli has made two changes to the starting XI following their goalless draw with Genoa. Scotland international Che Adams and Mergim Vojvoda have been dropped to the bench.

The match pits Empoli’s 3-4-2-1 formation (Vasquez; Goglichidze, Ismajli, Viti; Gyasi, Anjorin, Maleh, Pezzella; Esposito, Cacace; Colombo) against Torino’s 3-5-2 (Milinkovic Savic; Walukiewicz, Coco, Masina; Pedersen, Linetty, Ricci, Gineitis, Sosa; Karamoh, Sanabria). The game promises to be a closely fought contest between two teams with contrasting fortunes this season.
