Torino vs Monza Predictions, Picks & Odds – 01/09/2026
Torino vs Monza Preview
Torino's early-season form has been poor, with back-to-back Serie A defeats leaving new boss Ignazio Abate under immediate pressure. The Granata fell 2-1 to AC Milan on the opening weekend before suffering another 2-1 reverse at Sassuolo, where Eray Comert made his league debut. This Coppa Italia second-round tie at the Olimpico Grande Torino offers Abate a chance to steady the ship, and fringe players like Emirhan Ilkhan and Gaetano Oristanio could feature.
Monza arrive in Turin in equally rough shape. Ivan Juric, who once patrolled the Torino touchline, has watched his side concede seven goals across two league outings: a 4-1 hammering by Inter followed by a 3-2 loss to Udinese. The Brianzoli did win their first-round Coppa Italia tie, but Juric may treat this fixture as secondary, rotating heavily with Serie A survival the bigger priority for a squad that looks fragile at the back.
Torino's head-to-head record against Monza is compelling. In their last five meetings, the Granata have won three and drawn two, conceding no defeats. That March 2025 victory, a clean 2-0 at Monza, underlines their dominance in this fixture. Playing at the Olimpico Grande Torino adds another layer of comfort, and the double chance 1X at 1.87 reflects that historical edge.
Ivan Juric returns to his former club, but his Monza side look fragile. A 4-1 hammering by Inter and a 3-2 loss to Udinese suggest defensive vulnerabilities that Torino can exploit. Juric may also rotate heavily, prioritizing Serie A survival over a deep cup run. That tactical calculation could weaken Monza's starting lineup considerably.
Both squads are likely to shuffle their personnel, with fringe players such as Emirhan Ilkhan and Gaetano Oristanio potentially featuring for Torino. Still, home advantage and superior recent pedigree in this matchup tilt the balance. The 1X double chance is the recommended selection here, banking on Torino avoiding defeat at home against a side they have consistently handled well. Odds correct at time of publication.
