Torino (home)
- Both clubs are struggling to start the Serie A 2026/2027 season and come into Monday's game with mixed-to-poor form.
- Torino have lost three of their last five and failed to win either of their home games.
- The home side have been less than convincing on home ground this term with no wins from two games and just 1 goal scored in those two games.
- We should also consider that Torino are coming off a 0-2 home defeat to AS Roma and 1-1 away draw with Bologna and were probably lacking bite in both boxes on those days, which leaves us with a cagey, tactical contest rather than a shootout.
Udinese (away)
- Udinese have won one of their two away games so far.
- Udinese Calcio are the 3.0 favourites for this Monday night Serie A 2026/2027 clash at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, but 2.32 on Torino FC looks like better value with the Zebrette struggling for momentum following a 0-1 home loss to Cagliari and 1-1 draw away to Pogon Szczecin.
- Kosta Runjaic, who took over at Udinese on 14 June 2024, has created a structured team that can play a possession-based game or launch direct attacks when the occasion demands it.
Head-to-Head
But Udinese won the head-to-head matchup last season 2-0 and will have come into this game with more momentum, despite their poor result against Cagliari .
Key Players
- Both clubs like to play with the wing-backs thrusting forward and both like to win the ball back quickly in transition, so the duel between the two sets of wing-backs should be a big factor here.
- Adams is Torino's most dangerous man, with two goals in three Serie A 2026/2027 appearances, but Keinan Davis has been a spark for Udinese from wide areas with three assists in the last five.
- Hassane Kamara has scored two of the club's six goals in that period to make him the team's top scorer in the Serie A 2026/2027 and make Udinese a big threat from wide positions, where they can over-load opponents.
- Vakoun Issouf Bayo has also come to life for the club, scoring two in the past five, so they will feel they can challenge Torino.
Betting Insights
Under 2.5 goals at 1.8 looks the best play as Torino have scored 0.5 per home game and Udinese have scored 3.00 on average in their away games.
Prediction
- It's a real toss-up for the result as both teams come into the game with a mix of one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five.
- So, if Torino go too hard with their pressing in the opening exchanges, the Zebrette will have a way to play through the gaps.
