Torino host Como at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on October 27 in the ninth round of Serie A. Both sides arrive on three-match winning runs in the league, giving this midweek fixture an intriguing balance. Torino have recovered from a difficult start and sit eighth, while fourth-placed Como have taken 17 points from their first eight matches. The home side beat Monza 3-2 last time out; Como followed their 4-1 win over Manchester United with a 2-0 victory against Sassuolo. Recent meetings favour the visitors, but Torino’s improved results offer them a chance to challenge that pattern.

Torino’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Torino have collected 13 points from their last six league matches under Abate. Wins against Udinese and Parma preceded the 3-2 success over Monza on October 23, giving Torino three consecutive Serie A victories for the first time since 2019. Against Monza, Belghali, Vlasic and Fitz-Jim scored, although the match remained close after a late own goal by Patterson.

Their league record stands at four wins, one draw and three defeats. Across their last five matches, Torino have recorded three wins, one draw and one loss, averaging 1.8 goals scored and 1.2 conceded. Their attack has drawn contributions from nine different scorers this season. Adams has three goals, Kulenovic has scored twice, and Vlasic ended an 11-match wait for a goal against Monza. Belghali has also contributed to four league goals.

Torino’s recent fixtures have offered plenty of goalmouth action: their last three matches each finished with over 2.5 total goals. More broadly, there have been over 1.5 total goals in each of their last 13 Serie A games and each of their last 11 at home. At least one second-half goal has been scored in those 11 home matches, suggesting this contest may remain lively after the break.

Como’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Como travel after three straight wins, most recently beating Sassuolo 2-0 on October 24. Tasos Douvikas scored twice in that match, taking his Serie A tally to five, and has found the net in each of his last four appearances across all competitions. His goals have been particularly valuable with Moise Kean unavailable through injury.

Fabregas has guided Como to five wins, two draws and one defeat in their opening eight league games. They have averaged 1.8 goals scored and 0.9 conceded in Serie A; over their last five matches, those figures rise to 2.2 scored and 1.0 conceded. The Sassuolo victory came despite rotation, following the win over Manchester United. Chalobah, Diao, Kean, Liberali and Rodriguez are listed as unavailable for this match.

Como’s away performances will be important to their prospects. They have led at half-time in nine of their last 14 Serie A away matches, although they have yet to keep a league clean sheet on the road this season. They won both league meetings with Torino last season, including a 5-1 away victory. Even so, Torino’s current winning run points to a more competitive encounter than those results might suggest.

Probable Lineups

Torino could start Perri in goal, with Comert, Ismajli and Coco in defence. Belghali, Fitz-Jim, Mandragora, Vlasic and Cacciamani are mentioned as midfield options, with Adams and Simeone in attack. Ilkhan and Fortini could also return.

For Como, Butez could start in goal behind Smolcic, Ramon, Kempf and Valle. Perrone and Milla are options in midfield, with Addai, Paz and Baturina behind Douvikas. Paz was rested against Sassuolo, when Samuele Ricci and Willy Kambwala made their first starts.

Torino vs Como Match Analysis

Both teams bring attacking momentum into this Serie A meeting. Torino have scored in each of their last five matches, while Como have averaged 2.2 goals across their last five. The hosts’ three most recent games all exceeded 2.5 total goals, as did three of Como’s last four. Those figures make the attacking phases of the match especially significant, even with Como’s stronger season-long defensive average.

Como’s recent head-to-head results and higher league position give them reasons for confidence, but Torino’s revival complicates the picture. The visitors have won three of the four meetings covered by the supplied head-to-head record, while Torino are chasing a fourth straight league victory. With the hosts scoring consistently and Como still seeking an away clean sheet this season, there is a clear case for chances at both ends.
