Torino have spent the last few seasons very weak, balancing on the edge of the relegation zone. In the summer, the team was headed by Ivan Yurich, who has established himself as a specialist capable of bringing the middle peasant to a new, higher quality level. The bulls are having a very solid start to the season under his leadership, at least in terms of the quality of football. In the first round “Torino” lost 1:2 to “Atalanta” at home, but clearly excelled in the game. The Bergamascans were frankly lucky with the winning goal. The same scenario happened in the duel with Fiorentina, lost by the bulls with the same score. In recent fights, luck turned to Torino, ending in victories over Salernitana (4:0) and Sassuolo (1:0) made it possible to move up to 10th place in the table.
Mallorca made it directly to the top division in the past season. The islanders took the final second place, which brought a ticket to the elite championship. The modest budget allowed them to strengthen only some positions, while maintaining the core of the team. The start of the new championship went well for the “cinnabar”. In five rounds the team scored two victories over Alaves (1:0) and Espanyol (1:0), which resulted in eight points and the ninth position in the standings. Last Sunday, the islanders shared the tournament points with Villarreal (0:0) at home. In the infirmary of the team are Angel, Maffeo, Raillo and Russo, who has a muscle injury.
