On Monday night, Torino and Cagliari go head-to-head at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in gameweek one of the 2023/24 Serie A season.
Torino
Il Toro finished last season in tenth place in the Serie A table, nine points adrift of the European spots in the Italian top flight.
Ivan Juric’s team finished last season with an inconsistent run of league form that saw the team from Turin win just two of their final five games of the season.
However, a last-day 1-0 defeat by Inter ended a four-game unbeaten run in the Italian top flight.
They struggled for home wins towards the end of last season, as they failed to win any of their final seven matches in Serie A on home soil.
Torino has been busy attempting to strengthen the squad with the signings of the likes of Ivan Ilic, Raoul Bellanova and Nemanja Radonic, amongst others.
Cagliari
The visitors finished fifth place in Serie B last season but earned promotion via a play-off final victory over Bari to secure an instant return to the Italian top flight.
Claudio Ranieri’s team enjoyed an unbeaten pre-season campaign, recording three wins and a draw to keep confidence high in the visitor's camp.
Unsurprisingly, considering they were relegated, Cagliari’s recent record in the Italian top-flight is not great, as they won just one of their final 11 games in season 2021/22.
A poor away record was a big contributing factor in the visitor's relegation to the Italian second tier, as they failed to win in their last five league games on their travels.
Torino has prepared for their return to Serie A by bringing in Ibrahim Sulemana, Tommaso Augello and Alessandro Di Pardo.
