Torino (home)
- Torino have won one and lost two of their three home games in Serie A 2026/2027, scoring 1.00 goals and conceding 1.67 per game on average.
- Torino and Monza, who are 12th and 16th in Serie A 2026/2027 with seven and four points from their opening six games respectively, face off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Italy on Friday and it looks set to be a close contest.
- The hosts have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches in all competitions, which is a decent return even if it won't have satisfied the club's expectations.
Monza (away)
- Monza have won none, drawn one and lost three of their four away games in Serie A 2026/2027, conceding 11 goals at an average of 2.75 per match.
- And pick up is something that Monza really needs to see.
- So this is a big game for both clubs and their respective coaches, Ignazio Abate and Ivan Juric.
Head-to-Head
And the fact that the latest game, a 1-0 away Monza win in the Coppa Italia 2026/2027, and the last five head-to-heads ( 2 Torino wins, 1 Monza win, 2 draws ), have all been very tight, suggests this game should go to the wire.
Key Players
- Che Adams has been a threat for Torino from the box area in 2026/2027, but the club have had to settle for the occasional goal from other sources like Sandro Kulenovic, who has scored twice in their last five.
- And Gustavo Varela has been a consistent threat for Monza with four Serie A 2026/2027 goals from four appearances.
Betting Insights
- Abate became Torino coach in June 2026 and has implemented his patient 3-4-2-1 system that is designed to bait pressure on the ball and then break vertically.
- Juric took over at Monza in July 2026 and has transformed them into a much more aggressive side that will press in a high-intensity, man-oriented way and then look to transition quickly to the attack.
- A bet on under 2.5 goals at 1.83 looks good for this game, with BTTS at 1.77 being the more exciting angle for those that want to get involved.
Prediction
But we're predicting that the two clubs will be tough to split on the night, even if Torino are marginally more likely to edge it.
