Como travel to meet Torino in the ninth round of Serie A, with the visitors looking to maintain their strong start to the season. Pinnacle888’s prices make Como the clear favourites, while Torino will aim to extend a run of three consecutive victories.
Torino
Torino have moved into eighth place with 13 points after winning their past three matches. The club are only four points behind Como, and another victory could take them into the European places once the full Serie A round has been completed.
The home side’s recent results have lifted the mood around the club. Torino beat Monza 3-2 before recording a 3-0 away win against Parma in their most recent league match.
However, Como’s current form presents a significant challenge. Torino will need to continue their recent improvement if they are to claim another important result and close the gap on the teams above them.
Como
Como sit fifth in Serie A on 17 points, just one point behind each of the two teams directly above them. The visitors are enjoying another strong campaign and have also taken six points from a possible nine in the Champions League.
Como defeated Sassuolo 2-0 in their previous Serie A fixture. They then produced an emphatic Champions League result by beating Manchester United 4-1.
The visitors will be aware that Torino are in good form and cannot afford to underestimate their opponents. The match is expected to be closely contested, with at least one side set to extend its current winning run.
