The visitors look to continue their remarkable form ahead of Sunday’s game and these Torino vs. Monza predictions suggest they have a chance. Monza have won three of their last four games and could entrench their top ten position with a win over the Granata.
Torino vs. Monza odds
1 – Monza to win – 16/5
2 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 13/20
3 – Only one team to score – 21/20
4 – Antonio Sanabria to score first – 9/2
5 – Torino to win – 1/1
Torino hope to maintain their winning record over Monza as they host Raffaele Palladino’s men in Piedmont on Saturday. The Granata have won their last six against these opponents but have never faced such a strong Biancorossi team.
Monza travel to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in their best form of the season, with three wins in their last four games. Having spent much of the season looking like prime candidates for relegation, the newly promoted side are now odds on to finish in the top half of the league table.
Wins over Inter and Fiorentina in recent weeks have proved Palladino’s side to be capable against the stronger sides too, meaning it is a surprise to see the visitors as underdogs to win on Saturday. Given the high odds for an away win, it may well be worth a bet on Monza to keep their fine form going.
A reason for the bookmakers’ trepidation might be Torino’s strong defensive organisation coming up against a Monza side short on goalscorers. Ahead of the mid-week fixtures, Monza’s top two goalscorers are defenders, with Carlos Augusto on an impressive six goals from left wing-back.
Coming up against a Granata formation that matches them man-for-man, the wide men may find themselves lacking space and, as a result, the visitors may struggle to get on the scoresheet. A wager on under 2.5 goals scored, or just one team to score on Sunday, could therefore provide a return.
Torino, on the other hand, have a different problem. The Granata have struggled in front of goal themselves this season but are able to boast a prolific forward in Antonio Sanabria. The striker has 10 goals to his name this season, meaning he needs just one more to tie his most successful professional campaign.
Sanabria is favourite to score first at the weekend and, should he do so, the hosts may well be defensively compact enough to secure the win that the bookies recommend.
