Torino will look to lean on their strong home form as they host Sassuolo, with both sides aiming to finish the Serie A season on a high.
The hosts saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end with a 2-0 defeat to Udinese, leaving them in 13th place and with fading hopes of a top-half finish.
Their home form offers encouragement, as Roberto D’Aversa’s men have been unbeaten in their last four matches in Turin.
Sassuolo, meanwhile, come into this clash in strong form after a 2-0 win over AC Milan, their third victory in the last five league outings.
Sitting 10th, they remain in contention for a top-eight finish in what has been an impressive return to the top flight.
Under Fabio Grosso, they have been one of the more consistent mid-table sides recently, but their away form could prove a stumbling block.
With just two points from their last four road matches, improving performances away from home will be crucial if they are to achieve their season objective.
