Torino – Como: Initial situation
We have seen two completely difference faces by Torino in the first couple of months of the new season. Currently, they are in a desperate shape and hopes to get out of the hole against Como, who made it back to the top tier after a while.
Torino Stats & Form
Torino had a solid start to the season, but recent struggles have seen them drop in the standings. The Maroons have lost the last four games overall and are now in ninth place in the standings. Interestingly, they lost the last three games by the same score, 3-2, against Lazio, Inter, and Cagliari. Che Adams and Duvan Zapata are the leading scorers on the team with 4 goals each, while Antonio Sanabria has two. Torino, or their goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic Savic, leads the league with 32 saves, and they are on the share of sixth place with 14 goals so far in the season.
Como Stats & Form
Como is back in Serie A for the first time in two decades, and the main man who stands behind that achievement is Secs Fabregas. The Spaniard took over the team last season, and his presence was immediately felt. Como is currently 14th in the standings with 2 wins in 8 games but still three points away from the dangerous zone. After winning back-to-back games against Atalanta and Verona, they lost to Napoli and played 1-1 at home against Parma in the last game. Patrick Cutrone is the leading scorer on the team with 5 goals. Como is ranked ninth in the league with 11 goals and 7th with 113 shots.

Betting tip and prediction: Torino – Como (25.10.2024)
Torino is still hanging on in the top half of Serie A, which is quite remarkable since they have lost the last three games in the competition and another one in the Cup. Paolo Vanoli took over the team in the offseason after spending the last two in Venezia and was aware of what he gets himself into. The chairman, Urbano Cairo, still has patience with him, but if Torino continues losing games and playing the way they play now, Vanoli may be packing his bags even before Christmas. Truth be told, everything is not in Vanoli’s hands since the team has been struggling with injuries and he is constantly in a situation to change the starting lineups given the available players he has on the roster. He is in the same situation going into the match against Como, as seven players are sidelined with injuries. Strikers Duvan Zapata and Alieu Njie, midfielders Adrien Tameze, Aaron Ciammaglichella, and Ivan Ilic, and defenders Borna Sosa and Marcus Pedersen are all out. On the other side, Como is going into this game full of enthusiasm even though they are in the bottom half of the standings. The team from the countryside is back in the Serie A for the first time in two decades, and every game is a real football holiday for the Voltiani. Como won only a point in the last two games after winning all six in the previous two, and they see this as an opportunity to make a huge step forward in the standings. The players love to lay for Cesc Fabregas, who is one of the youngest coaches in Italian football. He lets the players be creative in the midfield, and they know how to keep the ball in their possession. Unlike Torino, Como has only two players on the injury list: striker Alberto Cerri and defender Federico Barba. That puts them in a much better position, but still, Torino will be in control of the ball. The home team is under pressure to end the losing streak and will have to attack. Como is perfectly fine with winning a point on this visit, so will focus on the defense. It will take a while before any team gets on the board, so we go with under 2.5 goals in total.
