Preview: Torino vs. Inter Milan

Torino vs. Inter

Inter Milan manager Walter Mazzarri will hand a Serie A debut to new signings Nemanja Vidic and Yann M'Vila when he takes his side to Torino on Sunday.

The duo, along with Pablo Osvaldo and Gary Medel, have been brought in by Mazzarri after Inter missed out on qualification for the Champions League last season.

I Nerazzurri warmed up for the start of their domestic campaign with a 9-0 aggregate win over Icelandic team Stjarnan in the Europa League.

Torino were also involved in the Europa League qualifying rounds this week, and they too secured their passage through to the group stages with a narrow victory over Hajduk Split.

Head coach Giampiero Ventura has made sweeping changes to a squad that finished in seventh place last term as Il Toro look to compete in all competitions.

Defender Cristian Molinaro, who was signed from Parma, and midfielder Antonio Nocerino, on loan from AC Milan, are likely to be among the debutants at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.
