Torino vs Como Prediction and Betting Tips | October 25th 2024
The action continues in round nine of the Italian Serie A as Torino and Como lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday. This will be the first meeting between the two sides since September 2012, when Paolo Vanoli‘s men picked up a 3-0 victory in a friendly matchup.
Torino were left empty-handed yet again as they suffered a 3-2 defeat against Cagliari when the sides met at the Unipol Domus last Sunday.
Vanoli's men have lost four games on the bounce, including a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Empoli on September 24 which saw their Coppa Italia campaign come to an end in the round of 32.
Having picked up three wins and two draws from their opening five Serie A matches, this slump in form has seen Torino drop into ninth place in the league table with 11 points from a possible 24.
Meanwhile, Como played out a 1-1 draw with Parma last weekend, when Nico Paz netted his first league goal on the stroke of half time to cancel out Ange-Yoan Bonny’s 20th-minute opener.
This followed a 3-1 defeat against league leaders Napoli at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona on October 4 which saw their run of two back-to-back league wins come to an end.
After a slow start to the campaign, Cesc Fabregas’ men have turned a corner in recent weeks, rising into 14th place in the table, level on nine points with Bologna, Hellas Verona and Cagliari.
