Torino have remained undefeated for a while in the Italian top flight, and it’s been enough to give them a five-point cushion to the drop zone.
They will be hoping to make the most of his home opportunity on Friday night as they host Sassuolo.
Even though the visitors are a top-eight side they have been struggling to find their winning torch recently.

Torino Preview – Can Torino earn precious points?
Torino are only one place above the drop zone in Serie A but they have that five-point cushion.
Their form has been about resilience more than anything as they are undefeated in their last six league games.
Torino have suffered only one loss in their last eleven league games and that was away at the then-league leaders AC Milan.
In their last six league games, Torino are W1 D5.
The victory happened last weekend when they went out on the road to meet Cagliari.
There has not been a home victory in the league for Torino yet this season.
They have drawn their last five league home games on the spin, part of a W0 D7 L4 home record from them this season.
Home and away combined they have drawn eight of their last eleven Serie A fixtures.
In the match outright, the win for Torino is the long-shot at a quote of 11/4* (odds recorded 04:44 GMT Wednesday, 24th February)
But it is perhaps that draw option in the match outright for football betting that is going to pique the most interest.
That draw option is at 12/5* (odds recorded 04:44 GMT Wednesday, 24th February).
Torino are averaging 1.3 goals per home game, so that’s pretty average.
Three of the four home losses that they have suffered have been by a one-goal margin.
Earlier this season when they hit the road to face Sassuolo, there was a thrilling 3-3 draw between them.
Torino would probably be happy with a repeat outcome.
Sassuolo Preview – Can the visitors break Torino’s resistance?
Sassuolo have taken one win in their last seven league games (D3 L3) so they aren’t hot right now.
They are clinging onto a top-eight place, but their brilliant early season form has certainly passed them by.
In the match outright for this game, Sassuolo are the even-money favourites* (odds recorded 04:44 GMT Wednesday, 24th February).
It hasn’t been a bad season out on the road from them at all.
Sassuolo have taken a W6 D3L3 away record in Serie A this season. But it’s their recent demise in away form that’s interesting.
They have suffered three losses in their last five away games (W1 D1).
But breaking down the away form of Sassuolo a little more, all three of their losses have been at teams currently above them in the table, up in the top six.
So with that in mind, they don’t immediately look like losing, even though they haven’t taken a clean sheet home or away in any of their last dozen fixtures.
