Torino vs. Monza: Probable Lineups
TORINO (3-5-2): Perri; Coco, Ismajli, Comuzzo; Belghali, Vlasic, Mandragora, Bragança, Cacciamani; Adams, Simeone. Head Coach: Abate.
MONZA (3-4-2-1): Törnqvist; Kouadio, Goglichidze, Lucchesi; Bakoune, Akinsanmiro, Folorunsho, Mangas; Robinson, Mota; Varela. Head Coach: Juric.

Here’s what Torino coach Abate had to say on the eve of the match: “We mustn’t lose our drive to improve. We have plenty of room to grow—I see it in training, too. We have to keep at it. I have complete confidence in my team; I’m optimistic about how hard they’re working. If you think we’re underestimating our opponent, you’re sorely mistaken: we’d be on the wrong track. We’re training with the right intensity; we have to strive to improve every day. We were knocked out of the Cup by Monza; they’ll focus on physical battles, and it’ll be a rough game.”
