Who Will Win?
Torino are aiming to rebound following consecutive 2–1 setbacks to open their campaign. Their most recent result was a 2–1 loss away to Sassuolo on Sunday, 30 August, which followed a 2–1 loss at home against AC Milan on Monday, 24 August. Scoring two goals and allowing four across those two starts, the home side will look to turn solid competitive periods into three points.
Monza have faced early defensive struggles, losing both of their games. Their last outing on Sunday, 30 August resulted in a 2–3 defeat at home against Udinese, following a 1–4 loss away to Internazionale on Sunday, 23 August. Conceding seven goals in two outings leaves them vulnerable at the back.
In head-to-head betting, Monza have 3.2→3.25 (drifted), while the draw has 3.4→3.3 (firmed). Torino currently sit at 2.1 to secure the home victory. Given Monza's defensive record over the opening fortnight, Torino rates a real chance to claim all three points on home turf.
