Torino News and Form
The Italians took seventh place in Serie A last season which put them through to the Europa League where they started in the second qualifying round. They got off the mark with a 7-1 aggregate win over Debrecen there and then they followed it up with a 6-1 success over Shakhtyor.
So they have been untroubled and have tallied up eight goals in two European home games this season. They will get a stiffer test from Wolves though, one would imagine. This is Torino’s first European action since the 2014/15 Europa League where they were eliminated in the round of sixteen. Torino are unbeaten in their last nine Europa League home games with a W7 D2 record from that.

They started in the second qualifying round as Torino did and there Wolves eased to a 6-1 aggregate success over Crusaders. Then it was an 8-0 aggregate success over Pyunik Yerevan.
Wolves sent out t a second string (mostly) for the second leg of that third qualifying round tie. So across their four European games this season, Wolves have conceded just one goal. This is going to be their toughest challenge of the campaign so far. An away score draw would leave them in a decent enough position. This is their first European campaign since the 1980s.
