The team coached by Sottil arrives in Turin seventh in the standings, just two points behind Juric’s Turin
The month of January was not very positive for the Turin, and the month of February began with the elimination from the Italian Cup. In championship three draws against Verona (1-1), Salernitana (1-1) and Empoli (2-2), a defeat against Spezia (0-1) and only one victory against Fiorentina (0-1). Definitely starting with the handbrake on, considering the opponents and the 6 points collected in 5 games. In Italian Cup at least the San Siro feat arrived, but in the quarterfinals Torino was eliminated by Fiorentina. A real shame, considering that in the semifinals he would have faced Cremonese (round trip). Now only the championship remains, and the next appointment is Sunday at 3 pm for Turin-Udinese. A real direct battle for seventh place. Seventh place that means Conference Leagueif the points are not returned to Juventus and if the Coppa Italia is won by one of the top seven.
Udinese’s season
Udinese had made an incredible start in the league, then slowed down. Now the Friulians are in seventh place in the standings, with 29 points, the result of 7 wins, 8 draws and 5 defeats. 22 goals conceded like Toro, but 28 scored against the 21 for the grenade. Now the Bianconeri are looking for their form at the start of the season. The most dangerous striker, Deulofeu, will have to be operated on and in the transfer market session he was replaced by Florian Thauvin, French world champion. Makengo on the other hand, grenade target in case Ilic vanishes, went to France to Lorient. Udinese’s squad is complete and has all the credentials to put a team like Turin in difficulty right now.
