Both teams exhibit strong defenses; expect a tight match.

Torino vs Como

Torino host Como in a Monday night Italian Serie A fixture, with both teams looking to build on some recent solid showings.

The Turin club are in a lengthy unbeaten run and have been particularly solid on home soil. They should do enough to avoid defeat against the visitors, who are a bit unconvincing on their travels.

Torino News

Torino appeared to be building some momentum prior to the international break and are currently on a six-match unbeaten run. They held out for a 0-0 draw at Juventus in their previous Serie A fixture.

The Stadio Olimpico di Torino is beginning to look like a fortress, having gone unbeaten in six of their last seven home matches across all competitions. Marco Baroni's team have picked up four wins on this run, including a 1-0 victory over champions Napoli.

Torino are not overly prolific in attack, but have gained a reputation for being defensively solid. Three of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals, with all three fixtures also offering up under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Como News

Como are enjoying a solid second season in the topflight, having lost just once in their 11 Serie A matches. Cesc Fabregas’ team are currently seventh in the table and will have ambitions of earning a European finish.

The problem for Como is the string of draws, having been held six times already this season, including a 0-0 home scoreline against Cagliari last time out. They have only won once in their five away matches so far and played out another 0-0 scoreline at Napoli in their previous fixture on the road.

As those two results suggest, matches involving Como are usually tight affairs, with six of their last seven fixtures producing under 2.5 goals. Four of the last five matches on this run have also served up under 1.5 goals in both halves.

Head to Head

Torino have three wins while Como have picked up two victories, with one draw in the last six matches. Each team won their home fixture last season, with both matches ending 1-0.

Verdict

Torino v Como

Torino and Como are known for being disciplined and hard to break down, and could be set to serve up another tight contest. With their last two meetings producing under 2.5 goals, a repeat is expected here.

Those two clashes also offered up under 1.5 goals in both halves, and Monday's clash could be set for a similar pattern. Having been victorious in three of their last four home matches, Torino could be backed to earn a win or draw on Monday.
