Torino vs Como Prediction 25.10.2024 | Serie A

• Competition: Italy - Serie A
• Date: Friday, 25th, October 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Torino)

Torino are looking to put an end to their unfortunate run of results when they meet Como at the Olimpico Grande in round nine of the Italian Serie A on Friday.

After making an extremely strong start to their 2024-25 campaign by posting three wins and two draws from their opening five matches, Torino have suffered a sharp decline in performances in recent weeks, which has seen them slide down to ninth place in the table. Not even the two-week break due to international duties helped Il Toro regain their momentum, as they once again showed signs of trouble within their squad by succumbing to a dramatic 2-3 defeat at the hands of a battling Cagliari last time out.

Their next league challenge comes in the form of a Como side that can be quite pleased with their showings so far in their return season, and it seems like they are poised to secure their stay in Italy’s top flight for at least another 12 months, although it’s still early for such predictions. The team led by former Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas currently sits in 14th place on the table with nine points to their name, just three points above the bottom three, so they will be eager to snatch something from Friday’s trip in order to keep a safe distance from the drop zone.

Torino vs Como Betting Tips: BTTS

Torino may have home advantage, but their recent form has been nothing short of dreadful, making us seriously doubt that they’ll have an easy time on Friday against a stubborn Como side, yet BTTS seems like an enticing pick in what promises to be a high-octane contest filled with action. Goals are flowing smoothly for the Bulls, but it is undeniable that their attack cannot make up for glaring defensive issues, as demonstrated by the statistic that their last three top-tier games have all concluded with a 2-3 loss. The same scenario is occurring with Como, as they too have gaps in their defense and still have not recorded a clean sheet this season, yet they have proven to be quite lethal in attack, netting a remarkable 10 goals in their previous five Serie A encounters. As we can clearly see, both teams are extremely vulnerable in defense, but they have also been highly prolific in the final third, which leads us to anticipate lively and thrilling football at the Olimpico Grande, where both Torino and Como should easily find a way to the net.
