Torino will be looking for another win after a 0-3 Serie A success versus Hellas Verona.

In that game, Torino had 52% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For Torino, the goalscorers were Giovanni Simeone (10'), Cesare Casadei (87') and Alieu Eybi Njie (91'). For their opponents, Hellas Verona got 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.

Marco Baroni's Torino have hit the target 6 times over their last 6 outings. The corresponding number of goals that have been scored against them in those same games amounts to 7.

Coming into this meeting, Torino have not been beaten in the league by Udinese in their last 6 matches.

Udinese

LLWLDL

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Como in Serie A action, Udinese and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Udinese managed 38% possession and 3 shots on goal with 0 on target. For their opponents, Como had 15 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Lucas da Cunha (18') scored for Como.

The stats tell the story, and Udinese have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 11 goals overall. Defensively, Udinese have seen their frailties exposed.

Taking a look at their past results, Udinese:

• have not emerged victorious against Torino when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not good.
• are without a win away from home in their last 2 league matches.

↔️ Head to head

A review of their past head to head results stretching back to 23/10/2022 tells us that these fixtures have not been good ones for Udinese. They’ve not managed to register any victories whatsoever while Torino have been the better of the two, beating them in 67 per cent of those ties.

A sum of 14 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 10 for Il Toro and 4 created by Bianconeri Friuliani. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.

The previous league match featuring these sides was Serie A match day 33 on 23/04/2025 when the final score was Torino 2-0 Udinese.

That day, Torino had 44% possession and 10 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The goalscorers were Ché Adams (39') and Ali Dembélé (85').

Udinese got 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target.

The match was refereed by Giuseppe Collu.

📰 Team News: Torino

Cyril Ngonge (flu), Perr Schuurs (Knee surgery), Niels Nkounkou (flu), Zanos Savva (Partial patellar tendon tear) and Ivan Ilić (Lumbago) are unavailable for Torino manager Marco Baroni. Adam Masina will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It’s our opinion that Il Toro will possibly go for a 3-5-2 system, handing starts to Alberto Paleari, Ardian Ismajli, Guillermo Maripan, Saul Coco, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Cesare Casadei, Emirhan Ilkhan, Nikola Vlasic, Valentino Lazaro, Giovanni Simeone and Che Adams.

🗞️ Team News: Udinese

Udinese manager Kosta Runjaić has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Jordan Zemura (muscular problems), Saba Goglichidze (Muscle fatigue) and Adam Buksa (Calf injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Vakoun Bayo is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that Bianconeri Friuliani seem most likely to play in a 3-5-1-1 formation, giving starts to Maduka Okoye, Thomas Kristensen, Christian Kabasele, Oumar Solet, Alessandro Zanoli, Lennon Miller, Jesper Karlstroem, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Hassane Kamara, Nicolo Zaniolo and Keinan Davis.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that Udinese will have to play well to find the net against this Torino team who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a highly competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Torino at the end of the 90.

There should be little in it.
