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

The only 3 p.m. challenge on Sunday of the 16th day of Serie A is Sassuolo-Torino, which will be played at the Mapei Stadium. Neroverdi hunting for confirmations after the valuable away draw with AC Milan to get closer to the Europa zone, while the granata, thirteenth, want to give continuity to the home success with Cremonese.

Grosso is called upon to replace the disqualified Thorstvedt: thus a major opportunity looms for the recovered Vranckx, ready to complete the midfield trio along with Koné and Matic. In the offensive department, Laurienté, favored over Fadera, could find space again from the first minute, while in defense Candé seems destined to confirm his place at the expense of Doig. Forward Pinamonti is expected to grit his teeth despite a discomfort suffered in the last match.

Baroni must untie the knot in attack: the ballot is between Zapata and the fully recovered Simeone, both in the running to flank Adams. Another question mark concerns the midfield, where Casadei seeks a starting spot but must overcome competition from Gineitis and Anjorin. In defense, Tameze and Ismajli will act on either side of Maripan, while Coco and Masina are absent due to African Cup of Nations commitments. Between the posts, confirmation for Paleari.

Probable lineups

Sassuolo (4-3-3): Muric; Walukiewicz, Idzes, Muharemovic, Cande; Koné, Matic, Vranckx; Volpato, Pinamonti, Laurienté. All. Grosso.

Torino (3-5-2): Paleari; Tameze, Maripan, Ismajli; Pedersen, Asllani, Casadei, Vlasic, Lazaro; Adams, Zapata. All. Baroni.
