Torino vs Monza Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions

Torino: E. Ilkhan (Injured/out), N. Fortini (Injured/doubtful)

Monza: M. Pessina (Injured/out), J. Ziólkowski (Injured/out), I. Touré (Injured/doubtful), Y. Maye (Injured/doubtful)

Torino

Abate is set to stick with the side that won convincingly at Parma. The main question is in defense, where Ismajli could replace Ricardo Rodriguez, with Saul Coco shifting to the left-center spot. Bragança partners Mandragora in midfield, while Simeone leads the attack with Vlasic and Che Adams in support. Ilkhan remains unavailable, and Fortini is a doubt.

Monza

Juric welcomes Lucchesi back from suspension, and the defender should reclaim his spot, pushing Goglichidze to the bench. Foe Ondoa is likely to start alongside Akinsanmiro in midfield, with Birindelli on the right flank and Mangas on the left. Varela carries the attack, supported by Dany Mota and Robinson, while Colpani starts on the bench.

Torino vs Monza Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our Torino vs Monza prediction is a 3-2 Torino win. Both attacks are in rhythm and neither back line inspires much confidence. Torino struggle to stop opponents creating scoring opportunities, and Monza can be got at from set pieces. Torino get the nod as slim moneyline favorites because Simeone is in scoring touch and their long-range shooting gives them another route to goal. Monza carry enough punch to make the hosts sweat, though.

Best Picks

Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Both sides have been involved in plenty of goals this season. This is the first of our Torino vs Monza best picks, a play in the Total Goals Over/Under market, and it is the cleanest angle on the board. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 8 of Torino's last 10 Serie A games. Monza games have gone the same way, clearing that line in 6 of their last 7 in Serie A.

Both teams to score: Yes, in the Both Teams To Score market. Torino and Monza both look likely to find the net. This one sits in the Both Teams To Score market and pairs naturally with the Over. Our projections put the implied probability of both sides scoring at 68.43%, and that makes sense when Monza fire shots from everywhere and Simeone gives Torino a reliable finisher at the other end.

Torino vs Monza Same Game Parlay

Our Torino vs Monza same game parlay picks lean into the shot volume and edge in this matchup: Robinson on target, Birindelli carded, Kulenovic scoring and Simeone firing away.

Jay Robinson Over 0.5 Player Shots On Target. He has found the target in four straight Serie A outings, and he starts in the hole behind Varela.

Samuele Birindelli To Be Shown A Card. This prop has landed twice in his last three outings, and Monza's aggressive style keeps their right-sided wingback close to the referee's notebook.

Sandro Kulenovic Anytime Goalscorer. Two goals from his last three appearances put him in good touch, and a game this open should give a finisher that kind of look at chances.

Giovanni Simeone Over 1.5 Player Shots. He cleared that mark in all four of his most recent outings, and Torino like to attack through the middle with their striker as the focal point.

Torino vs Monza Talking Points

The obvious storyline is Juric coming back to face the club he used to coach. He now runs a Monza side he told Sky Sport must play a certain way: "To save ourselves, we must be young, carefree, and humble." Tactically, these two line up in mirror-image shapes, and Monza's direct, crossing game runs straight into a Torino defense that struggles against attacks down the wings. The twist is that Torino have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 6 games against Monza in all competitions. Both attacks look far too sharp right now to keep that run going.
