2026-2027 Serie A: Fiorentina vs. Torino, Probable Lineups

Fiorentina and Torino face off at 3 p.m. in a match for the third matchday of Serie A. Both teams are still winless in the standings: Grosso’s men have suffered clear-cut losses in their first two matches against Roma and Frosinone, and they can’t afford any more slip-ups in front of their home crowd; the Granata have suffered narrow defeats, first to Milan and then to Sassuolo.

At the Franchi, this is already a crucial match for Grosso, who is expected to once again rely on Pellegrino up front, supported by former Fiorentina player Njie and Mastantuono. New signings Goncalves and Beto could come on in the second half. In midfield, the trio of Ndour, Fagioli, and Oulai will feature, with Jimenez and Valdepenas on the wings.

Abate is counting on Simeone up front, with Che Adams and Vlasic in support; Fortini and Cacciamani will play on the wings. In midfield, newcomer Mandragora could make his debut from the 1st minute, alongside Fitz-Jim.

““It will be a match against an opponent that, like us, hasn’t started off well,” said Fabio Grosso. “It represents an opportunity, and we want to seize it. We’ve prepared thoroughly. We know we have qualities, and we want to bring them out. We want to achieve something great because we’ve prepared to do so. We know how difficult the transfer window period is and how it can affect a team’s trajectory. There have been a lot of changes; the club has made major investments. This roster is full of outstanding individual talents and potential, and we want to make the most of them. But the transfer window is now closed; now we have to get to work: we need to grow within our project.”
