Torino preview: Trying Torino
After another change in management over the summer, Torino appointed former Lazio boss Marco Baroni. The hosts did so with an intent of playing more proactive football as they again sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table in Serie A.
The home team went into the November international break on the back of three successive draws. Their most recent outing saw them share a goalless draw with Juventus at the J Stadum in Turin a couple of weeks ago.
Como preview: Cesc’s Como
Coached by Cesc Fabregas, Como have been very entertaining to watch throughout the campaign with just one defeat in their 11 matches so far this season, challenging for a top six or seven finish and European qualification.
Como were frustrated once again, though, with the third draw in four matches and a six of the season a couple of weeks ago as they were held to a goalless draw at home to a struggling Cagliari side at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigigalia.

Torino vs Como prediction
Torino will believe their general progress in terms of gaining more cohesion in their attacking play will continue this weekend. The hosts do have a generally limited squad with some elements of quality, although the absence of Giovanni Simeone is a key one. They face a Como side that play a brilliant style of football and will head to Turin, as ever, on the front foot and both teams scoring appears a good bet for this one.
Torino vs Como tip: Both teams to score
