    Happy Valentines Day to the Rosanero. It is a sad and sweet romance indeed.

    Also an appropriate match for Valentine's Day given the number of connections between the two teams.

    Bosi taking the reigns for the second time, this time as the official manager.

    Supposedly going to stick with the 4-3-3, but possibly towards 4-3-1-2

    Lazaar suspended after his red card last week. Struna likely to still be absent, same as Maresca. But Jajalo is back after serving his suspension.

    Very few options for Lazaar at left back. Supposedly Rispoli can play there (though naturally a right back), but I wouldn't be shocked to see a 3 man back line instead.

    Also Bosi seems to have indicated that Gilardino will start.

    Sorrentino
    Morganella-Goldaniga-Gonzalez-Rispoli
    Jajalo-Chochev-Hiljemark
    Vazquez-Gilardino-Trajkovski

    As always either Djurdjevic or Quaison equally options up front.


    -----------------------

    Ex-Rosanero on Torino include Cesare Bovo, Kamil Glik, Afriyie Acquah, Amauri, and of course Andrea Belotti.

    However, Bovo is injured, as is Acquah. Amauri, despite being on the team, has not made a single appearance so far

    Torino lost their second leading scorer Fabio Quagliarella, so its up to Belotti and the new purchase Immobile to make up for it.
    -----------------------

    Prior to the loss at the start of the season, Palermo had drawn their last four games against Torino.

    On the other hand, Torino has not won at the Renzo Barbera since the 1962-63 season.

    Looks like BeIN Sports 6 will have this online tomorrow morning, so I will likely give them a view.

    After an early goal, it's been rough going, and it's likely to get tougher with Sorrentino having to be replaced at 'keeper.

    Nice save on what looked like a dangerous breakout there.

    Free kick stopped and turned into a break for Torino, excellent save keeps Palermo in it.

    And... Torino gets a third (Inmoble's second) likely ending this one with 20 minutes to go.

    Vasquez with a strong shot from about 20 yards out, wins a corner. Palermo still fighting.
