Torino V Varese Preview

Torino will play their third Serie B game in eight days tonight, when they face last season's surprise package Varese at the Stadio Olimpico.

Torino will be eager to get their first home victory of the campaign, after only managing a draw against Cittadella on Wednesday night. However, Varese will certainly be tough opposition, and last season did the double over Toro as they surprised everybody by finishing in 4th position.

Much of last season's success was thanks to former coach Giuseppe Sannino, but he left in the summer to join Siena, and has been replaced by former Torino striker Benito Carbone. Varese have started the season with two 0-0 draws, and will therefore be looking for their first victory of the season.

Torino winger Nnamdi Oduamadi, who scored the winning goal in the opening game at Ascoli, is out for a month with an injury, and defender Kamil Glik is still away with Poland on international duty. Striker Giulio Ebagua, who signed from Varese in the summer, will be looking to score his first goal in a Torino shirt against his former team.

Torino Legends V Juventus Legends Charity Match Preview

Whilst Torino and Juventus enjoy a fierce rivalry as the two football clubs of Turin, both teams are putting aside their differences and uniting on Wednesday evening for a worthy cause.

The charity match, that will take place at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin was the idea of Michele Riva, a Torino fan who is suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) and this event will hopefully raise both awareness and funds for ALS charities.

The complete squad lists of which players will be involved can be found below, and as both Torino and Juventus are enduring disappointing seasons, fans of both clubs will probably wish they could rely on these players for the rest of the league campaign.
