Serie A 2025-2026: Torino-Sassuolo, the likely lineups

Friday night at 8:45 p.m., the 36th Serie A matchday advance pits Torino and Sassuolo against each other in the setting of the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The challenge represents nothing more for the two teams, already saved, but only gives them a chance to improve their position in the standings and to end the year in the best possible way. The granata are looking for continuity between home walls, banking on the solidity of the group and the field factor to overcome a historically hostile opponent. For its part, Sassuolo comes to Turin with the goal of confirming the progress shown in recent outings, relying on the quality of its offensive performers. It promises to be a very balanced confrontation, with both coaches wanting to end the season in the best possible way.

D’Aversa is banking on a more balanced team with Paleari between the posts and a defense led by Coco. On the flanks will act Lazaro and Obrador, while Vlasic will have the task of triggering the attacking pair composed of Simeone and Duvan Zapata.

Grosso instead launches his starters. Turati in goal protected by a four-man line with Walukiewicz and Muharemovic as the central pair, while the midfield is entrusted to the experience of Matic. The offensive trident is top-notch, with Berardi and Laurienté ready to serve central forward Nzola.

The likely lineups

Torino (3-4-1-2): Paleari; Marianucci, Coco, Ebosse; Lazaro, Ilkhan, Gineitis, Obrador; Vlasic; Simeone, Zapata. All’Aversa.

Sassuolo (4-3-3):Turati; Coulibaly, Walukiewicz, Muharemovic, Doig; Koné, Matic, Thorstvedt; Berardi, Nzola, Laurienté. All. Grosso.
