The Serie A match between Torino and Lecce is set to kick off at 12:30 at the Olimpico Grande Torino, with official lineups revealing Zapata starting for Torino and Cheddira for Lecce. Torino's coach Marco Baroni faces a critical moment, as his job is under threat due to poor results—four consecutive defeats, the worst defensive record in the league, and only one goal scored in the last 360 minutes. The team has been training in retreat, but injuries persist, with Simeone and Njie in doubt and Kulenovic racing against time for registration. The match carries high stakes for Baroni, who might be ousted if the team loses, especially with the recent protests including a new banner criticizing club president Cairo. Meanwhile, Torino's supporters, organized in the Maratona, have announced a tifo strike in protest against Cairo's management, amid ongoing dissatisfaction expressed through banners. The broader context includes Torino's recent transfer market activity, with new signings Marianucci, Prati, and Kulenovic, and ongoing efforts by sports director Petrachi to reinforce the squad. The club's environment is tense, with fan unrest and internal struggles reflecting in the club's performance and management issues. The match itself is part of a busy day in Serie A, with other fixtures and league updates covering teams like Pisa, Sassuolo, Napoli, Fiorentina, and Lazio, alongside international competitions and transfer news, highlighting a turbulent period for Italian football.
