Torino's Momentum and Home Form Under Scrutiny
Ignazio Abate’s men return to the Grande Torino aiming to extend their winning streak after scoring five goals without reply across their last two league outings.
The Granata have hit their stride since the international break, taking 10 points from their last five matches to pull comfortably into the top half of the table. Abate’s front two looked sharp in Monday’s 3-0 rout at Parma, though sorting out their home defensive record remains crucial: Torino have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive league matches on their own turf.
Giovanni Simeone will partner Scottish striker Che Adams in attack, with the pair combining for five league goals already this season. Behind them, Croatian playmaker Nikola Vlašić pulls the strings in the attacking pocket, supported by Rolando Mandragora and Portuguese distributor Daniel Bragança in central midfield.
Abate must manage without experienced defender Ricardo Rodríguez, who is out for two weeks with a thigh injury, joining Niccolò Fortini and Emirhan İlkhan on the sidelines. In defense, Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri starts behind Ardian Ismajli, Pietro Comuzzo, and Saúl Coco, with Rafik Belghali and Alessio Cacciamani operating as dynamic wing-backs.

Monza's Away Struggles a Major Hurdle
Ivan Jurić takes his Monza squad back to his former stomping ground aiming to cure their chronic travel sickness after dismantling Cagliari 4-0 at the U-Power Stadium on Monday.
The Biancorossi have looked dangerous at home, winning two of their last three league matches behind an electric frontline. However, translating that punch onto the road has been a nightmare: Monza are winless in their four away trips this term, taking a lone point and shipping 11 goals in defeats to Cremonese, Lazio, and Sassuolo.
Across their last two top-flight campaigns, Monza have lost 14 of their last 16 away matches. Portuguese prodigy Gustavo Varela will spearhead the frontline in scintillating form, having struck six goals in just six league games since arriving in Italy.
Supporting Varela in the pockets will be Dany Mota and English talent Jay Robinson, with Ebenezer Akinsanmiro and Manga Foe-Ondoa anchoring the midfield engine room.
Jurić must navigate several key absences: club captain Matteo Pessina (knee) and Jan Ziółkowski (foot) are ruled out, while Yvan Maye and Idrissa Touré remain doubts. Lorenzo Lucchesi returns from suspension to join Eddy Kouadio and Andrea Carboni in a three-man defense, flanked by wing-backs Samuele Birindelli and Ricardo Mangas in front of Swedish goalkeeper Noel Törnqvist.

Torino vs. Monza Prediction: Hosts to Secure Victory
Monza’s league matches have averaged nearly four goals this term, while Torino’s frontline looked lethal in Parma with Simeone and Adams both finding the net. With neither backline looking impenetrable at the Grande Torino, backing Over 2.5 goals in total provides a rock-solid foundation.
Monza have managed at least five shots on target in six consecutive league outings and possess the division’s breakout finisher in Gustavo Varela. With Torino failing to keep a clean sheet in eight straight home league matches, backing B carries plenty of weight.
While Monza won here in the cup two months ago, Jurić’s side have been terrible travellers in Serie A, losing 14 of their last 16 away matches. Torino have momentum, are unbeaten against Monza in top-flight history, and should have enough firepower to take all three points. Back Torino on the Moneyline.
