Torino host Como in Serie A on Tuesday evening, with the visitors arriving in considerably better league standing and carrying a dominant recent record in this fixture. Both sides come into the match in strong form, making this a compelling contest on paper.
Form guide
Torino have been in excellent shape lately. Their most recent outing was a 3-2 home win over Monza on 23 October, four days after a 3-0 away victory at Parma. Seven days before that Parma win, they had beaten Udinese 2-1 at home. That run of three successive wins followed a 1-1 draw away at Bologna on 19 September and a 2-0 home defeat to AS Roma on 14 September. In all, Torino have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five, scoring nine and conceding six across those games. In the two home games among their last three, they have scored five and conceded three, keeping no clean sheet in either. In the one away game among their last three, they scored three and kept a clean sheet. In Serie A this season, Torino sit eighth with 13 points from eight games, with four wins, one draw and three defeats, scoring 1.63 goals per game and conceding 1.38.
Como arrive in equally strong form and with even more firepower on show. Their most recent result was a 2-0 home win over Sassuolo on 24 October. Three days before that, they beat Manchester United 4-1 at home in the UEFA Champions League, and three days before that they had won 3-1 away at Fiorentina in Serie A. Their only setback in the last five was a 2-3 loss away to Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League on 14 October, preceded by a goalless home draw with AS Roma in Serie A on 11 October. Como have scored 11 and conceded five across their last five, keeping two clean sheets and with both teams scoring in three of those matches. In those three league games, Como failed to score in one and conceded just once. In Serie A this season, Como are fifth with 17 points from eight games, with five wins, two draws and one defeat, averaging 1.75 goals scored and 0.88 conceded per game.
Head to head
The recent head-to-head record strongly favours Como. In the four competitive meetings between the sides, Como have won three and Torino one, with no draws. The most recent meeting was at Como’s ground on 24 January 2026, where Como won 6-0. Before that, Torino hosted Como on 24 November 2025 and lost 1-5. Como also won 1-0 at home on 13 April 2025, and Torino’s only win in the sequence came when they hosted Como on 25 October 2024 and won 1-0. Across all four meetings, both teams scored in just one game and the total goals tally reached 14.
Team news
Torino have a number of players unavailable. Franco Israel is ruled out with a shoulder injury, and Ricardo Rodríguez is ruled out with a thigh injury. Niccolò Fortini is doubtful with a thigh injury, while Emirhan İlkhan and Rolando Mandragora are both doubtful with muscle injuries.
Como also have absentees to contend with. Trevoh Chalobah misses out through injury, Assane Diao is ruled out with a thigh injury, and Jesús Rodríguez misses out through injury. Moise Kean and Mattia Liberali are both doubtful with leg injuries.
What to watch
Torino have won two and lost two of their four home league games in Serie A this season, scoring at 1.50 goals per game and conceding at 1.75. Their average xG of 1.51 across their last five matches, against an average xG against of 1.15, suggests a side creating decent chances while remaining vulnerable defensively.
Como’s away form in the league is notably strong: three wins, one draw and one defeat from five away league games this season, scoring two goals per game on the road. Their average xG of 1.71 across their last five matches, with an average xG against of just 1.05, points to a side both creating and limiting chances effectively. The absentees on both sides are comparable in number, though Diao’s absence is a particular blow for Como given his four goals and one assist in eight appearances so far this season.
Torino come into this fixture with four days’ rest, while Como have had three days since their last match. The bookmakers make Como a 56% chance to win, with a draw at 25% and a Torino win at 20%. A high-scoring evening looks more likely than not: the bookmakers place over 2.5 goals at 57% and both teams scoring at the same figure. Both sides’ recent form points to goals, though Como’s defensive record on the road and in the head-to-head history makes Torino’s task a demanding one.
Conclusion
Tuesday evening’s match brings together two sides in fine recent form, but with Como’s superior Serie A standing, their dominance in recent head-to-head meetings, and their strong away record this season, Torino will need to be at their very best to halt a side that has been one of the division’s more convincing performers so far.
