Torino have won their last two matches, scoring five goals, but Monza bring a nine-match scoring streak into Friday’s meeting. Both sides arrive after wins without conceding: Torino beat Parma 3-0 away, while Monza defeated Cagliari 4-0 at home.
Availability gives Monza another challenge. They have five players out injured, with L. Lucchesi also suspended following a red card.
E. Zeballos, I. Toure and M. Pessina are sidelined by knee injuries. J. Ziolkowski is out with a foot injury, while Y. Maye has a muscle injury.
Torino have three injury absences. E. Ilkhan is out with a muscle injury, F. Israel has a shoulder injury and N. Fortini is sidelined by a thigh injury.
The hosts sit 10th with 10 points from seven matches, three points ahead of 14th-placed Monza. Torino’s record stands at three wins, one draw and three defeats, with a goal difference of plus one. Monza have two wins, one draw and four defeats, and a goal difference of minus two.
Torino’s recent results have improved that picture. A 2-1 home victory over Udinese preceded the win at Parma, giving them three victories, a draw and one defeat across their last five matches.
Their home record is less convincing: one win and two defeats from three league games this season. Friday offers a chance to record successive home victories after the Udinese result.
Monza’s win over Cagliari followed a 3-1 defeat away to Lazio. Their last five matches have produced two wins, two defeats and a draw, even as their scoring run has continued. With only three points between them and the relegation places, turning goals into points remains important.
The three meetings between these sides since July 2024 have been evenly split: one Torino victory, one Monza victory and one draw.
Kickoff is at 20:45 CEST on Friday 23 October in Week 8 of the 2026/27 Serie A season. Monza can draw level with Torino on points with a victory; the hosts have the chance to extend their winning sequence to three matches.
