Torino welcome Udinese to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Monday, 12 October, with both sides desperate to revive disappointing starts to the 2026-27 Serie A campaign.

Three Punchy Stats

• 12 combined league goals conceded? Torino have conceded eight and Udinese 11, making 19 between them.
• Six without a clean sheet: Neither side has recorded a shutout in its last six matches.
• Three straight defeats: Udinese have lost to Lazio, Inter Milan and Cagliari heading into Monday's encounter.

Separated by goal difference after five matches, the hosts sit 14th with four points, while Udinese occupy 13th. Neither side has kept a league clean sheet this season, setting up an intriguing contest between two struggling defences.

Torino Searching for First Home Victory

Ignazio Abate's appointment promised a fresh direction for Torino, but his first Serie A managerial assignment has produced an inconsistent opening.

The Granata began with consecutive defeats against AC Milan and Sassuolo before securing their only league victory, a 2-1 success away to Fiorentina.

A subsequent 2-0 home defeat against Roma exposed familiar weaknesses, although Sandro Kulenovic's 77th-minute equaliser rescued a valuable point against Bologna before the international break.

Torino have scored just five goals while conceding eight, highlighting problems at both ends. More concerning is their failure to collect a single point from their opening two home league fixtures.

That represents a significant reversal after finishing last season unbeaten in six consecutive home matches.

Their attacking difficulties are compounded by a worrying tendency to fall behind. Torino have conceded the opening goal in each of their last six matches across competitions, repeatedly forcing themselves into recovery mode.

However, their historical record against Udinese offers encouragement. Torino have lost only two of their previous 10 home meetings with the Friulani, recording five clean sheets during that sequence.

Udinese Looking to End Losing Streak

Udinese arrive facing equally pressing questions after three consecutive league defeats.

Kosta Runjaic's side initially showed promise, drawing with Como before securing an entertaining 3-2 away victory over Monza.

However, defeats against Lazio, Inter Milan and Cagliari have halted that momentum.

Their defensive record is particularly concerning. Udinese have conceded 11 goals in five league fixtures, including five against Inter, despite scoring eight themselves.

While that attacking output exceeds Torino's tally, their inability to protect their goal has repeatedly undermined otherwise competitive performances.

Another issue is their second-half productivity. Udinese have scored just twice after the interval this season, suggesting they struggle to sustain their attacking threat throughout matches.

Nevertheless, last season's meetings provide encouragement. Udinese completed the league double over Torino, including a 2-1 victory at Monday's venue.

Team News and Tactical Outlook

Torino could welcome Che Adams back into contention following injury, increasing competition alongside Kulenovic and Giovanni Simeone.

Simeone has gone seven Serie A appearances without scoring, placing additional importance on Torino creating better opportunities for their forwards.

Niccolo Fortini remains doubtful with a thigh problem, while Pietro Pellegri has returned to full training but is unlikely to feature.

Rolando Mandragora should provide experience in midfield, with Nikola Vlasic expected to support the central striker.

Udinese are expected to deploy Keinan Davis up front, supported by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, who has contributed to six goals across his last five Serie A away appearances.

However, injuries to Idrissa Gueye, Nicolo Zaniolo and Jakub Piotrowski restrict Runjaic's options.

Both teams could operate with three central defenders, making the wide areas particularly important. Torino must balance attacking ambition against Udinese's ability to exploit spaces on the counterattack.

Torino vs Udinese Prediction: 1-1 Draw

Neither side enters this fixture with sufficient defensive reliability to inspire confidence.

Torino's home struggles contrast with Udinese's three-match losing sequence, while both teams have failed to register a clean sheet in their previous six matches across competitions.

Udinese possess the stronger scoring record, but Torino's historical home advantage and recent resilience against Bologna suggest a closely contested encounter.

A 1-1 draw appears a reasonable outcome, with both managers still searching for greater consistency.

🎯 Pick 1: BTTS Yes @ 3/4

This fixture pairs two defences incapable of keeping clean sheets, making Both Teams to Score a direct reflection of their starts to the season. Across five league fixtures, neither Torino nor Udinese has recorded a shutout, combining to concede 19 goals already. Udinese’s 11 goals against highlight their difficulties at the back, but they have also scored eight times themselves, proving they can contribute to the goal tally despite losing their last three matches.

The likelihood of both sides scoring increases when looking at how Torino begin matches. Ignazio Abate’s men have conceded the opening goal in six consecutive fixtures across all competitions, constantly forcing themselves to chase the game. When they push forward to recover, Udinese can utilise Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, who has contributed to six goals across his last five Serie A away appearances, to exploit spaces on the counterattack. Torino’s failure to collect a single point from their opening two home matches further confirms their vulnerability at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

The main obstacle to this selection is Torino’s broader attacking return, as they have scored just five league goals so far. Giovanni Simeone’s run of seven Serie A appearances without a goal puts pressure on Sandro Kulenovic and a potentially returning Che Adams to finish chances. However, with both teams operating with three central defenders and leaving space in wide areas, and neither defence showing any reliability, the evidence strongly points towards a match where both attacks can capitalise on mutual defensive frailties.

🎯 Tactical Indicators

• Neither side has kept a clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions.
• Udinese have conceded 11 goals in five league fixtures but have scored eight times themselves.
• Torino have conceded the opening goal in each of their last six matches.

Risk Factor: Torino's low attacking output and Simeone's seven-match scoreless run could cause a blank if Udinese tighten defensively.

⚔️ Pick 2: Torino vs Udinese 1-1 @ 9/2

A 1-1 draw aligns directly with the statistical realities of two teams struggling to win but retaining enough attacking threat to score. Torino have demonstrated they can find the net in difficult situations, highlighted by Sandro Kulenovic’s 77th-minute equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw against Bologna recently. However, their modest return of five league goals limits the likelihood of them scoring multiple times against Udinese. With Giovanni Simeone without a goal in seven Serie A appearances, the hosts lack the sustained final-third output required to pull away comfortably in this fixture.

For Udinese, finding the net once is well supported by their return of eight goals in five matches, including a 3-2 away victory over Monza earlier this season. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp provides a consistent creative threat on the road. Yet, the visitors struggle to maintain their attacking pressure throughout a full match, having scored only twice after the interval this season. This second-half drop-off suggests that once they score, they find it difficult to extend their advantage, making a single goal their most plausible output.

The historical context adds weight to a low-scoring draw, despite Udinese winning 2-1 here last season. Both managers desperately need to halt poor runs of form, as Torino are winless at home and Udinese have suffered three straight defeats. This mutual desperation often creates cautious encounters. The exact 1-1 scoreline covers the likelihood of both porous defences conceding exactly once before a lack of attacking confidence restricts further scoring, though the bet remains fragile if either side unexpectedly finds a clinical edge.
