After a two-year absence, Venezia returned to Italy's elite via the playoffs last season, but soon after beating Cremonese in the final, promotion-winning coach Vanoli left for a new challenge in Turin.

Former Frosinone boss Eusebio Di Francesco stepped in to lead the Lagunari's quest for survival, but his side have come away with only one point from two league games so far, in addition to exiting the Coppa Italia.

Following a 3-1 defeat at Lazio on Serie A's opening matchday, Venezia travelled to Florence last week, playing out a goalless draw with Fiorentina in which goalkeeper Jesse Joronen was required to make a couple of crucial saves.

The Arancioneroverdi must now meet another team that finished inside the top half of the table last season, as they reconvene with Torino for the first time since February 2022, when they won 2-1 in Turin. Indeed, they are unbeaten in five Serie A matches against Friday's visitors - a run dating back some 25 years.

Now returning home to Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo - where they posted 15 wins and only three defeats in Serie B last season - Venezia will try to get off the mark with a win at their lagoon-side headquarters.

缺席两年之后，威尼斯队在上个赛季的季后赛中重返意大利的精英行列，但在决赛中击败克雷莫纳人后不久，晋级冠军教练瓦诺里离开了都灵，接受了新的挑战。

前弗罗西诺内主帅迪弗朗西斯科加入球队，带领球队寻求生存，但他的球队目前在两场联赛中只拿到1分，而且还退出了意大利杯。

在意甲揭幕战1 - 3不敌拉齐奥之后，上周，威尼斯客场挑战佛罗伦萨，在与佛罗伦萨的一场0 - 0战平中，门将杰西·约罗宁做出了几次关键的扑救。

米兰现在必须面对另一支上赛季在积分榜上半区的球队，这是他们自2022年2月在都灵2-1获胜后首次与都灵重聚。事实上，他们在意甲对阵周五客队的五场比赛中保持不败，这一纪录可以追溯到25年前。

现在回到主场路易吉·彭佐球场——上赛季他们在乙级联赛中取得了15胜3负的成绩——威尼斯将试图在他们位于泻湖边的总部取得一场胜利。
