Torino won’t resist the temptation to rotate players against HJK Helsinki, whilst Daniele Padelli is expected to keep Jean-Francois Gillet out of the side.

Padelli is expected to start between the sticks in the Europa League Group B clash this evening, following Giampiero Ventura’s words yesterday.

Gillet was handed the gloves for Toro’s opening two fixtures, keeping a clean sheet against Club Brugge and FC Copenhagen, but Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport both expect Padelli to line-up in Helsinki tonight.

Ventura is expected to stick with a 3-5-2 formation, with Nikola Maksimovic and Kamil Glik occupying two of the three defensive roles. Tuttosport believes that Gaston Silva will take up the third berth at the back to give Emiliano Moretti a rest, whereas the Corriere dello Sport believes Toro will stick with Moretti.

Cristian Molinaro and Italian international Matteo Darmian will occupy the wing-back positions for Torino, with Eco di Torino agreeing with Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport that the central midfield three will comprise Juan Sanchez Mino, Nelson Vives and Omar El Kaddouri.

In attack, Fabio Quagliarella’s wonder-goal in Sunday’s win over Udinese should see him retain his place up-front according to Corriere dello Sport and Eco di Torino, whereas Tuttosport believes the former Juve man will start on the bench, with Amauri partnering Josef Martinez.

Probable Torino XI to face Helsinki: Padelli; Maksimovic, Glik, Moretti; Darmian, Sanchez Mino, Vives, El Kaddouri, Nocerino; Quagliarella, Martinez
