Serie A 2025-2026: Torino-Hellas Verona, the likely lineups

The Saturday of the 32nd day sees in its program, at 3 p.m., the challenge of the Olimpico Grande Torino between the hosts and Hellas Verona. The granata, although coming off a season devoid of particular highlights, seem to have now archived the salvation discourse thanks to the valuable success obtained in the away match in Pisa, solved by a kick of Che Adams. The margin of nine points on the hot zone, with only seven points to go, represents a reassuring cushion; however, D’Aversa’s men are aiming to close the discussion also from the arithmetic point of view as soon as possible. Only four points are missing to eliminate any residual doubt: today’s match against the clearly struggling Gialloblù may represent the final turning point to close the accounts.

In a different mood Hellas Verona, desperately seeking points to avoid the abyss. The Paolo Sammarco-coached team currently shares last place in the standings with Pisa on 18 points: with the salvation zone a full nine points away, the time for reflection is over. If the Scaligeri want to keep the flame of hope lit in this season’s finale, the road passes obligatorily through Turin: the only useful result is victory, in order not to risk raising the white flag well in advance.

Torino without Zapata, out due to injury, relies on the pair formed by Simeone and Adams, a three-man defense formed by Coco, Ebosse and Ismajli, on the flanks Obrador and Pedersen.

Paolo Sammarco, in addition to Serdar and Bella-Kotchap, must do without Suslov, who was sent off in the last match against Fiorentina. Montipò between the posts, Nelsson and Frese will be the braces, Bernede and Akpa Akpro in the middle, the keys to the attack are entrusted to the Bowie-Orban pair.

Probable formations

TORINO (3-4-1-2): Paleari; Coco, Ismajli, Ebosse; Pedersen, Gineitis, Ilkhan, Obrador; Vlasic; Simeone, Adams. All. D’Aversa.

VERONA (3-5-2): Montipò, Nelsson, Edmundsson, Frese; Oyegoke, Akpa Akpro, Gagliardini, Bernede, Belghali; Bowie, Orban. All. Sammarco.
