Seven-time
Serie A champions Torino FC will take on Hellas Verona at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
The two teams will clash for the 27th time across all competitions since 1997. Torino have the upper hand in this fixture having recorded 11 victories compared to Verona's six wins, while nine games ended in a draw.
Their last meeting in the league was on 22 July 2020 and the encounter ended in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Meanwhile, Cagliari Calcio, who were crowned Serie A champions in 1970, will play host to Benevento Calcio at the Sardegna Arena.
This will be the third competitive match between the two teams since 2017 when Benevento were promoted to the top-flight for the first time.
Cagliari have an unbeaten record against Benevento having registered two victories. The last time the two teams met was on 18 March 2018 and Cagliari secured a 2-1 win over Benevento in a game which was played at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito.
Joao Pedro, the Cagliari midfielder, says the team needs to improve after they ended the year with a 3-2 defeat to AS Roma.
"We are there, I'm not worried because we are proving to have important values," Pedro said.
"But there is no doubt that we have to be tougher and get back to winning soon, the three points are missing from seven games and we cannot be satisfied.
"We have lost too many opportunities. Now let's think about resting a few days and having a peaceful Christmas, even if after a defeat it won't be easy."
Elsewhere, seven-time Serie A champions Bologna FC are set to welcome Udinese Calcio to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
The two teams will lock horns for the 42nd time across all competitions since 1996. Udinese have dominated this fixture having recorded 19 wins compared to Bologna's 12 victories, while 10 games ended in a draw.
Their last meeting in the league was on 22 February 2020 and the match ended in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.
