>Torino vs Monza Prediction & Betting Tips – 23/10/2026
Torino welcome Monza to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Friday evening in a Serie A fixture that carries genuine relegation-zone tension. Both sides are level on points and languishing in the bottom half, with the Granata 12th and the Brianzoli 16th. A Coppa Italia defeat to Monza earlier this season still stings for the hosts, adding an edge of revenge to proceedings. With neither club able to string consistent results together, three points here could prove pivotal in the survival picture as the autumn fixtures unfold.
Match Analysis
Torino enter this Serie A relegation battle as marginal favourites at 2.05, backed by a clear H2H edge and the motivation of avenging a September Coppa Italia defeat against the same opponents on home soil.
- 4 wins vs 1 for Torino in the last 8 H2H meetings, including a 2-0 victory at Monza in March 2025.
- 3-5-2 home structure provides defensive solidity that suits a tight, pressure-filled six-pointer at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
- Monza concede 2.4 goals per game away from home with a 0% clean sheet rate in four road games this season.
- Monza missing five key players including Pessina, Ciurria, and suspended Lucchesi, severely depleting their squad depth.
Monza arrive as outsiders at 3.50, winless in all four away fixtures this Serie A campaign and ravaged by injuries, facing a Torino side eager to consolidate at home and climb away from the drop zone.
- Monza are winless in 4 road games this season, struggling to create and convert chances away from home.
- Pessina and Ciurria both absent through injury, stripping Monza of their two most creative and experienced midfield options.
- Monza's defensive record of 2.4 goals conceded per away game is the worst of any team in this fixture context.
Key point: With both attacks depleted by injuries, the double chance covering Torino home or draw pairs well with cautious play; consider backing the 1X outcome using 2.05 as a value anchor.

Low confidence
Both lineups carry a speculative tag ahead of this Serie A fixture, drawn from adjusted Coppa Italia data rather than confirmed pre-match sources, so the tactical picture could yet shift before kickoff. That said, a 3-5-2 versus 3-4-2-1 contest promises a congested midfield battle, with both sides deploying three-man defensive blocks.
For Torino, Giovanni Simeone leads the attacking line in what shapes up as a physically direct approach, while Monza's narrower 3-4-2-1 invites Dany Mota to operate in the pockets behind the striker. The wide channels could prove decisive given the wing-back structures on either flank.
Our Verdict
Torino's double chance (home or draw) looks the strongest selection here. The Granata hold four wins from the last eight head-to-head meetings, compared to just one for Monza, and the home side's price at 2.05 reflects that historical edge. Monza remain winless on the road this season across four attempts, a dismal record that undermines any away victory case at 3.50. Backing the 1X double chance covers Torino's inconsistency while exploiting Monza's travelling frailties. Questo articolo è a scopo informativo e non costituisce una raccomandazione di gioco.
