After the international break, Torino and Como return to the pitch on Monday, November 24 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino to play the final fixture of Serie A Matchday 12. This match brings together two in-form sides which, after the first eleven rounds, sit seventh and twelfth respectively, separated by just four points. The hosts, unbeaten throughout October and November, aim to secure a win that would push them closer to the European spots, fueling the dream of a season with ambitions beyond a simple mid-table finish. The visitors, on the other hand, need to get back to winning ways after two consecutive rounds without victory in order to reclaim sixth place, which at the end of the season would grant a historic European qualification. A match, therefore, with important points at stake in the European race, and one that will reveal much about the real ambitions of two of the most in-form teams in the Italian top flight.

Torino's Recent Form and Key Stats

Torino enter this match in excellent form, having remained unbeaten in their last six games with a record of four draws and two wins.

Just before the break, on November 8, the Granata earned a solid 0–0 draw in the Derby against Juventus, moving to 12th place in the standings with 14 points (3 wins, 5 draws, 3 defeats).

The attacking unit has not particularly shined so far, averaging just under one goal per game (0.9), led mainly by Simeone, who has scored 4 goals but will miss the match against Como due to injury.

After a shaky start, the defense finally seems to have found stability, as demonstrated by the three clean sheets in their last five matches against high-level opponents such as Napoli, Bologna and Juventus.

Marco Baroni’s side have not lost at home in two months: in their last four home matches across all competitions, they have collected three wins and one draw, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 0.75 conceded.

Como's Recent Form and Key Stats

Como, just like Torino, come into this match on a long positive run, having recorded ten consecutive unbeaten results (6 draws, 4 wins), as well as two straight 0–0 draws.

The latest came on November 8 at home against Cagliari, after a tense match with few chances. That result allowed the Lariani to remain 7th in the Serie A standings with 18 points, thanks to 4 wins, 6 draws and just 1 loss.

Cesc Fàbregas’ team is struggling mainly in attack, failing to score in three of their last four matches, against Parma, Napoli and Cagliari. Particularly disappointing has been the form of Álvaro Morata, still goalless and guilty of missing a penalty in the previous round against Napoli.

On the contrary, the team’s real strength lies in their defense, the second-best in Serie A behind Roma, with only 6 goals conceded (0.54 per match). Moreover, in their last five matches, Butez has kept four clean sheets.

The Azzurri are unbeaten in four consecutive away matches, collecting one win and three draws, scoring 3 goals and conceding only 2.

Torino vs Como Prediction by BetMines

The Serie A Matchday 12 clash between Torino and Como is shaping up to be one of the most balanced fixtures of the entire Italian football weekend. Two in-form teams face each other, both eager to improve their position in the standings.

Taking a bolder approach, one could consider the Double Chance X2, predicting a narrow Como win or a draw. What pushes the prediction slightly in favor of the visitors is the heavy absence of Simeone, undoubtedly Torino’s most decisive player so far.

While the final outcome appears difficult to predict, the same cannot be said about the likely number of goals. The feeling is that this will be a match with fewer than three total goals, and where one of the two teams might fail to score.

As noted, both Torino and Como have recently shown excellent defensive organization, partially compensating for their evident offensive struggles. In short, these are two teams that defend extremely well but lack efficiency in the final third.

Considering these factors, BetMines also provides the tips “Under 2.5 goals” and “at least one team not to score”, both of which have frequently occurred in the recent matches of the two sides, and have also appeared in each of the last six meetings between Torino and Como.
