Torino preview: In-form Torino
After winning just one of their opening five matches in Serie A before the international break, Torino have now enjoyed three successive victories as they propel themselves into the top half of Serie A ahead of this midweek.
The hosts most recently entertainingly defeated Monza by three goals to two on Friday, with goals being scored by Kian Fitz-Jim, Rafik Belghali and Nikola Vlasic – not needing the usually relied upon goals of Giovanni Simeone and Che Adams.
Como preview: Impressive Como
Cesc Fabregas’ Como backed up their famous 4-1 hammering of Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League by easing to a comfortable 2-0 defeat of Sassuolo at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia with a brace scored by Tasos Douvikas.
That impressive and comfortable victory against I Neroverdi means that Como begin the ninth match day of the 2026-27 Serie A campaign once again sitting tucked inside the top four and the UEFA Champions League spots.

Torino vs Como prediction
Former AC Milan right-back Ignazio Abate took charge of Torino in the summer and he has massively improved the hosts as the season gone on – especially with a bit more efficiency and effectiveness in the final third. Como themselves are one of the more entertaining teams to watch in Europe and they appear to be solving their own profligacy and so both teams scoring seems a good bet for this one in Piedmont.
