Torino vs Modena Predictions

Will Torino’s New Era Begin with a Cup Stumble or a Statement?

• Torino’s pre-season woes: The Granata lost their final two friendlies, conceding five goals across those matches, a clear indicator of defensive rustiness.
• Modena’s momentum: Four straight wins in pre-season under new boss Andrea Sottil have fuelled optimism that they can punch above their Serie B weight.
• Torino’s blunt finish last year: Just one goal scored in their final five Serie A games underlines why Baroni’s first task is reigniting their attacking spark.

Best Bet for Torino vs Modena

There’s something fascinating about the Coppa Italia’s early rounds: the big names are expected to swat aside their lower-tier opponents, yet every now and then, a smaller club dares to turn the script upside down. Monday evening sees Torino launch their 2025-26 campaign against Modena at home, and the match already feels like a test of nerve for both.

Torino ended last season in a heap, winning just one of their final nine Serie A matches, scoring only once in their last five games and eventually waving goodbye to Paolo Vanoli. Marco Baroni has come in to breathe fresh life into a squad that looked tired and blunt, and with additions like Giovanni Simeone, Zakaria Aboukhlal and Cyril Ngonge, fans will be hoping for far more attacking bite. Even so, defeats in their final two pre-season games left supporters restless, and heading into this tie with Inter looming in the league next week, the Granata simply cannot afford an embarrassing slip.

Modena, by contrast, are buzzing after a perfect pre-season of four wins from four. New coach Andrea Sottil knows this is a huge chance to test his players’ resolve against top-flight opposition, and with the likes of Pedro Mendes and Gregoire Defrel up top, they have enough forward quality to sting anyone who takes them lightly. Torino’s stature makes them favourites, but cup football is cruel enough that nothing can be taken for granted.

Best Bet for this Match

At BettingTips4You we always keep things simple: one game, one prediction, one best bet. For this clash, our pick is Torino to win with both teams scoring. We’ve chosen this carefully after weighing up every angle of the contest, and it stands out as the ultimate call for punters looking for value.

The logic behind it is straightforward but compelling. Torino’s attack looks significantly upgraded with Simeone leading the line and fresh creativity from Ngonge and Aboukhlal behind him. Even though Ricci’s departure leaves a hole in midfield, Casadei and Ilic should provide enough balance to get Baroni’s side ticking. At home, with a cup pedigree behind them, it’s hard to imagine Torino not finding goals against a Modena side still adjusting under a new manager.

But—and this is the important bit—Torino’s defence has looked shaky. Conceding twice against Roma and shipping three to Monaco in pre-season highlights their vulnerability. Missing key defenders like Perr Schuurs and Ardian Ismajli compounds the problem. Modena, with Defrel’s experience and Mendes’s physicality, will absolutely fancy their chances of nicking at least one goal. The Canarini’s pre-season run of wins also speaks to a team that is growing in belief, and they will not sit back timidly.

So, instead of simply backing the hosts, the smarter angle is to combine their superior talent with the likelihood of both nets being rattled. The Granata should still get over the line—they have too much attacking firepower not to—but a clean sheet feels unrealistic at this stage of their development.

As BettingTips4You.com expert Luca Pratesi summed it up:

“Torino may have the big names, but Modena’s confidence and Torino’s defensive frailties make both teams to score the real kicker here. The hosts should still edge it.”

We’re calling it a 2-1 Torino victory: enough to progress, enough to quieten nerves, but not quite convincing enough to silence all the doubters in the Curva.
