Torino vs Como Predictions

Torino vs Como Preview: Fabregas’ High-Flyers Face Torino’s Resurgent Granata. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.

Como will look to extend their impressive start to the Serie A season when they visit Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Tuesday, 27 October.

Three Punchy Stats

• 17 points: Como's best-ever return after eight Serie A matches.
• 11 goals: Como's combined tally against Torino in their two league meetings last season.
• Six of eight: Both teams have scored in six of Torino's eight league fixtures this season.

Cesc Fabregas’ side arrive following three consecutive victories across all competitions, including a remarkable Champions League triumph over Manchester United. However, Torino are gathering momentum under Ignazio Abate, having recorded three successive league wins for the first time since 2019.

With both teams finding form in attack, this Gameweek 9 encounter promises to be an intriguing test of their European ambitions.

Como's attacking quality presents a major threat

Como have emerged as one of Serie A’s most exciting sides, collecting 17 points from their opening eight matches to register the club’s best-ever start to a top-flight campaign.

Their five league victories have kept them within reach of the leading contenders, while their European performances suggest Fabregas is building a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts.

Last week's 4-1 Champions League demolition of Manchester United demonstrated their attacking potential. Como followed that result with a controlled 2-0 victory over Sassuolo, despite Fabregas making several changes to his starting lineup.

Tasos Douvikas scored twice against Sassuolo and has now found the net in four consecutive appearances across all competitions.

The Greek striker is particularly important with Moise Kean's availability uncertain. His movement and finishing could trouble a Torino defence that has struggled to consistently keep opponents out.

Como have also been effective away from home, winning three of their five Serie A trips while averaging two goals per game.

That travelling record gives Fabregas encouragement ahead of another demanding fixture, particularly considering his side's recent dominance over Torino.

Torino's resurgence faces its toughest examination

Torino have transformed their early-season fortunes under Abate, collecting 13 points from their previous six league matches.

Successive victories over Udinese, Parma and Monza have restored confidence, with the Granata scoring eight goals across those three fixtures.

Their 3-2 victory over Monza was particularly significant, completing a run of three consecutive Serie A wins that Torino had not achieved within a single campaign for seven years.

Kian Fitz-Jim opened his top-flight scoring account in that encounter, highlighting the growing contribution from midfield.

Torino's attacking threat is also becoming more varied. Che Adams, Giovanni Simeone and Sandro Kulenovic have each scored at least twice this season, while wing-back Rafik Belghali has contributed to four league goals.

Captain Nikola Vlasic has also ended an 11-match scoring drought, providing another welcome boost.

Nevertheless, home performances remain a concern. Torino have collected more points away than at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, where AC Milan and Roma have already beaten them.

Against Como's mobile attacking players, maintaining defensive discipline will be essential.

Team news and tactical outlook

Fabregas could restore Nico Paz to his starting lineup after resting the attacking midfielder against Sassuolo.

Douvikas is expected to lead the attack, supported by Paz, Martin Baturina and Jayden Addai.

Como remain without Trevoh Chalobah, Jesus Rodriguez and Assane Diao, while Mattia Liberali has been dealing with a shin problem.

Torino could welcome back Emirhan Ilkhan and Niccolo Fortini, although Ricardo Rodriguez remains unavailable.

Abate's expected back three of Eray Comert, Ardian Ismajli and Saul Coco will need protection against Como's attacking movement.

Belghali's forward runs could offer Torino an outlet, but they may also create space for Como to exploit during transitions.

Prediction: Torino 1-2 Como

Torino's improved confidence should make this a competitive contest, but Como possess greater attacking depth and have demonstrated their ability to win difficult away fixtures.

The visitors also dominated last season's meetings, recording 5-1 and 6-0 victories.

Torino have enough attacking quality to respond, although Como's recent performances suggest they can edge another entertaining encounter.

🎯 Pick 1: Como Asian Handicap -0.75

Como arrive at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino displaying formidable travelling credentials, making them a potent proposition despite Torino’s own recent resurgence. Cesc Fabregas’ side have collected 17 points from their first eight Serie A matches and have won three of their five away league trips, averaging exactly two goals per game on the road. That sustained away threat provides a strong foundation for an Asian Handicap selection that requires the visitors to win. The recent 4-1 Champions League victory over Manchester United and a 2-0 success against Sassuolo demonstrate an attack functioning efficiently across different competitions.

The matchup heavily favours Como when their mobile forward line encounters Torino’s ongoing home struggles. While Ignazio Abate’s side have recorded three consecutive league wins and scored eight times in that sequence, their performances at the Stadio Olimpico remain surprisingly fragile. Torino have accrued fewer points on their own ground than on their travels, suffering home defeats to AC Milan and Roma. With Tasos Douvikas finding the net in four consecutive appearances, Como’s forward movement is well-equipped to exploit a Granata defence that continues to leak goals, having conceded twice against Monza despite securing a victory.

Torino’s renewed confidence and their sequence of three successive victories do present a credible threat, particularly with forwards Che Adams and Giovanni Simeone already contributing multiple goals this season. The hosts clearly possess the attacking form to test Fabregas’ backline. However, Como’s overwhelming historical dominance in this fixture—evidenced by 5-1 and 6-0 victories last season—combined with their current two-goal away average, makes the visitors the more compelling proposition. The Asian Handicap -0.75 offers a safety net for a narrow one-goal victory while rewarding the clear possibility of another multi-goal Como success on the road.

🎯 Tactical Indicators

• Como average two goals per game in five Serie A away matches.
• Torino have fewer points at home than away, losing to Milan and Roma.
• Both teams scored in six of Torino's eight league games this season.

Risk Factor: Torino's three straight wins and eight goals scored could challenge Como's Asian Handicap.

⚔️ Pick 2: Torino vs Como 1-2 @ 6/1

A 2-1 away victory aligns neatly with the underlying attacking metrics and recent scorelines produced by both clubs. Como’s impressive away form is built on a reliable offensive output, with Fabregas’ men averaging exactly two goals per game across their five Serie A road trips. That consistent scoring rate makes a two-goal tally highly realistic for the visitors. The attacking form of Tasos Douvikas, who has scored in four consecutive outings, ensures Como have the necessary individual threat to breach Torino’s defence multiple times, just as they did against Sassuolo and Manchester United.

On the other side of the scoreline, Torino have demonstrated more than enough recent attacking quality to register a goal themselves. The Granata have netted eight times across their last three matches, with both teams scoring in six of their eight league fixtures this season. Ignazio Abate’s side possesses multiple scoring avenues, including Che Adams, Giovanni Simeone and the recently revived Nikola Vlasic. This broad attacking threat makes a clean sheet for Como unlikely, supporting the hosts’ ability to find the net despite their broader defensive struggles at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

The principal risk to this specific scoreline lies in the potential for a higher overall goal count, given both sides’ recent attacking form and Como’s extraordinary 5-1 and 6-0 victories in this fixture last season. If the visitors replicate that level of dominance, the two-goal ceiling required for a 1-2 result could easily be breached. Nevertheless, with Torino displaying improved confidence and a more varied midfield contribution under Abate, a slightly tighter contest remains the most coherent expectation. A 1-2 victory acknowledges Como’s clear superiority and strong away average while respecting Torino’s consistent ability to get on the scoresheet.
