This weekend’s Serie A action includes a mid-table battle and these Monza vs. Torino predictions give the latest picture for both teams. Hosts Monza have a slight edge ahead of kick-off, with a one-point lead over Torino.
1 – A draw – 9/4
2 – Monza under 2.5 total goals – 1/8
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 13/20
4 – Both teams to score – 1/1
5 – A 1-1 draw – 21/4
Torino’s weekend Serie A trip to Monza pits together two sides enjoying a strong run of recent form outside of the title race.
Monza’s 3-1 win away at Verona last time out has extended their streak to just one league loss in their last eight games and they have not lost any of their five home league games so far this season. In comparison, Torino picked up a Monday night win at home to Sassuolo to secure successive Serie A wins, and they will be looking to build on that here.
Monza’s overall form is better, but Torino have picked up this month, and a draw could be a solid option in this game.
In terms of goals scored, Monza’s treble against Verona was a change from their normal attacking output, as they have only managed to score over 2.5 goals in a Serie A game on one other occasion this season. Only two of the last eight league games have featured over 2.5 goals scored and that is an indicator of how they have remained so consistent.
Similarly, Torino have only scored over 2.5 goals in a league game once this season – in a 3-0 victory over Salernitana in September – and they have only scored one goal in their last three away matches in Serie A.
Both teams are capable of getting on the scoresheet. A draw would be a worse result for Monza and a positive step from Torino, with the visitors looking to keep up their push to break into the top half of the table before the end of the month.
