Torino are chasing three straight Serie A wins for the first time since 2019 when they welcome Monza to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Friday night, with Ignazio Abate’s resurgent side brimming with confidence after a stunning 3-0 demolition of Parma last weekend. Back-to-back victories have lifted the Granata to 10th in the table on 10 points, and the home crowd will expect another statement performance against struggling opposition.
This Torino vs Monza prediction shapes as a fascinating contrast in form and fortunes. The hosts are flying under Abate, while Monza arrive fresh from a 4-0 rout of Cagliari yet remain winless in all four away league games this season, sitting 14th on seven points. The visitors have never beaten Torino in six Serie A meetings — their only win over the Granata came in September’s Coppa Italia, a 1-0 triumph settled by Dany Mota in first-half stoppage time. Kick-off in Turin is 19:45 WAT, and it promises to be a tight, tactical battle.
Torino vs Monza Prediction: Match Preview
Friday’s Serie A Matchday 8 clash at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino pits two sides with very different trajectories against each other. Torino are hunting a third consecutive league victory, while Monza must somehow solve their dreadful away form. Gustavo Varela’s six goals in six games will test a home defence that has tightened considerably under Ignazio Abate.

Torino vs Monza Betting Tips
Tip 1 – Result: Torino win
Torino have won back-to-back league games and are hunting a third straight victory for the first time since 2019. Against a Monza side that has never beaten them in six Serie A meetings and is winless in four away games, the hosts look excellent value at 2.20.
Tip 2 – Over-Under 2.5: Under 2.5 goals
Recent meetings between these sides have been tight, Torino’s defence has tightened under Abate, and Monza’s away games are rarely goal-fests for the visitors. Expect a low-scoring home win.
Tip 3 – BTTS Yes-No: No
Torino have scored first in eight of the last nine meetings, and with Monza conceding 2.4 goals per away game while struggling to create on the road, a clean sheet for the hosts is the smart play.
Torino vs Monza prediction — final verdict: our Torino vs Monza prediction backs a 2-0 home win. Torino win, under 2.5 goals and BTTS No is the full Torino vs Monza prediction, with the hosts chasing three straight Serie A wins and Monza winless in four away league games this season.
