Torino preview: Drew again on Sunday
Torino made the trip to Fiorentina at the weekend hoping to put an end to their four-game winless run that had produced three draws and one defeat.
However, the hosts took the lead in the 38th minute and went in at the break a goal to the good but Gvidas Gineitis equalised in the 70th minute and his first league goal for Torino proved enough to earn a share of the spoils.
Ali Dembele will miss out on Friday night after being sent off during the 1-1 draw with Fiorentina, while Mergim Vojvoda, Ivan Ilic, Saba Sazonov, Perr Schuurs, Duvan Zapata, Pietro Pellegri and Emirhan Ilkhan are all doubts due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Milinkovic-Savic (GK), Lazaro, Maripan, Sosa, Coco, Pedersen, Tamèze,Vlasic, Ricci, Karamoh & Adams

Cagliari preview: Unbeaten in last three
Cagliari were looking to build upon their win at Monza and draw at AC Milan when they played host to Lecce last time out.
Despite falling behind just before the halftime interval, Cagliari put in a dominating second-half performance that produced four goals and secured another excellent victory, closing the gap on Torino to just two points as a result.
Forward Zito Luvumbo and goalkeeper Giuseppe Ciocci could both miss the trip to Turin this week through injury.
Predicted lineup: Caprile (GK), Mina, Luperto, Zappa, Obert, Zortea, Viola, Makoumbou, Adopo, Piccoli & Felici

Player to watch: Che Adams
Che Adams hasn't been a regular goalscorer since he played in the English Championship and has always struggled for goals when playing in the top flight.
Torino are said to be in the market for a new striker, with Everton's Beto their number one choice, but Adams has played his part for the club and top scores in Serie A for Torino with five goals.
The Scottish international has seven goal involvements in Serie A
Adams has also chipped in with a couple of assists and he is a very hardworking forward so perhaps the introduction of a natural number nine will actually improve his game.
