Como vs Torino prediction, head-to-head and probable lineups - 24 January 2026
One of the fixtures of Serie A's 22nd round will take place on Saturday at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Como, where the local side Como will host Torino. After a stunning victory over Lazio, the hosts come into this clash as favorites, making this the perfect moment to consider backing their success.
Match preview
The 3-0 win over Lazio in Rome wasn’t just a lucky result for Cesc Fàbregas’s side - it was a true testament to their progress. Como thrive against opponents who allow them to play their brand of football, and in such matchups, the team showcases its strengths: movement, intricate combinations, and seamless interplay between the lines.
At home, the "Larians" may not always be prolific, but they are consistently solid: the team has scored in nine of their ten home matches. Baturina is in tremendous form, and reverting to a more familiar setup with Douvikas up front should add more bite against the visitors’ troubled defense.
Torino once again lived up to their reputation for inconsistency, meekly surrendering to Roma in the previous round. Their win over the same opponent in the Coppa Italia now looks more like an exception than the start of a positive run.
The "Bulls" have systemic issues: they concede too often, make frequent defensive errors, and have struggled to find a reliable goalkeeper since Milinković-Savić’s departure. To make matters worse, several attacking players are doubtful for this fixture, casting further doubt on Torino’s prospects away from home.
Probable lineups
- Como: Buté, Valle, Ramon, Carlos Santos, Smolčić, Perrone, da Cunha, Baturina, Paz, Rodriguez, Douvikas
- Torino: Paleari, Maripán, Ismaily, Coco, Lazaro, Casadei, Ilhan, Vlašić, Pedersen, Adams, Ngonge
Match facts and head-to-head
- Como have scored in nine of their ten home matches in this Serie A campaign.
- Torino have conceded 34 goals in 21 rounds - one of the worst records in the league.
- Over 2.5 total goals have been scored in four of the last six meetings between these teams.
Prediction
Como come into this clash in great form both emotionally and on the pitch, while Torino continue to struggle, especially at the back. The hosts are adept at punishing mistakes and can dictate a tempo that the visitors are unlikely to handle. Given the current balance of power, a Como victory looks like the most logical outcome.
