Torino welcome Udinese to Turin with both sides stuck near the bottom of the Serie A table after a shaky start to the season. Torino sit 13th with four points from five games, Udinese one spot below with the same tally. Neither coach, Ignazio Abate nor Kosta Runjaic, can afford another slip, and that pressure should make for a cagey, nervy ninety minutes rather than a free-flowing one.
The interesting wrinkle here is defensive fragility on both ends. Udinese have shipped goals freely away from home while still finding the net themselves, and Torino have managed just one win in their last six matches across all competitions. This has the look of a match where mistakes decide the outcome rather than quality.
Giovanni Simeone leads Torino’s attacking numbers from recent games with seven shots in his last two appearances, and he remains the player most likely to drag the hosts over the line on a good day. For Udinese, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has been the standout attacking midfielder, contributing a goal and seven shots across his last two outings, and he looks the man capable of unlocking a stubborn Torino back line.
Hot stat: Udinese have conceded 10 goals in their last five matches while scoring 7 themselves, the leakiest defensive record of either side in this preview, and a number that points straight at the goals market.

Torino vs Udinese prediction
We lean towards backing both teams to score here. Torino’s defense has leaked seven goals in their last five league matches and Udinese have been even more generous at the back, conceding ten in the same span. Both sides carry enough attacking quality in Simeone, Kulenović, Ekkelenkamp and Gueye to punish those gaps, and we predict goals at both ends is the smarter route rather than chasing a clean win for either side.
Style-wise, Torino play a patient 3-4-3 with decent passing accuracy (799 completed passes, strong on paper) but limited cutting edge, scoring just four goals in their last five. Udinese favour a 3-4-2-1 with more directness, higher shot volume (32 shots in five games against Torino’s 22) and a much busier corner count (17 versus 7). Both teams pick up a similar amount of cards and fouls, suggesting a physical, competitive midfield battle rather than a cynical one. That extra Udinese directness is why we favour the visitors to have the better of the chances, even on the road.

Team Analysis
Torino’s most recent outing ended 1-1 against Bologna, a result that stopped the rot after back-to-back losses to Monza and Roma. The draw was earned rather than fortunate, but it still leaves Abate’s side with only one win in their last six and a lingering problem turning possession into chances. Before that stalemate, Torino lost 0-2 to Roma and were beaten 0-1 by Monza, both games where they struggled to create anything of note up front.
Udinese’s last match finished 1-1 against Pogon Szczecin, a result that continued a pattern of leaky defending even in games they are expected to control. Before that, Runjaic’s side lost 0-1 to Cagliari and were thrashed 3-5 by Inter, conceding five goals in a single match that exposed real structural issues at the back. Udinese have scored in four of their last five matches, which keeps their attacking reputation intact even as results slip away from them.
Most recent Head-to-Head Matches
Udinese have actually had the better of this fixture lately. Across the last four Serie A meetings between these two, Torino have scored five goals combined while Udinese have scored six, and the visitors have come away with wins in two of those four games.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Torino the favourite
- Moneyline Torino 2.30 | Udinese 3.00
- Draw 3.20
Bookmakers give Torino a slight edge at home, roughly a 41% implied chance against 31% for Udinese, with the draw sitting around 29%. We think that gap is a touch generous towards the hosts given how porous both defenses have looked recently. The value, in our view, sits less in the result market and more in backing goals, since both sides have shown they can score and both have shown they can be scored against.
Possible Starting Lineups
Torino possible starting eleven
- GK: Lucas Perri
- DF: Saúl Coco, Ardian Ismajli, Eray Cömert
- MF: Nathan Patterson, Rolando Mandragora, Kian Fitz-Jim, Rafik Belghali
- FW: Giovanni Simeone, Sandro Kulenović, Duván Zapata
Abate should stick with the 3-4-3 shape that has featured in Torino’s last five matches. Perri remains the clear number one with the most saves and minutes played, while Coco anchors a back three that has done reasonably well on the ball despite the team’s wider struggles. Simeone and Kulenović are the two to watch up front, the former for his shot volume and the latter for his recent goal contribution.
Udinese possible starting eleven
- GK: Maduka Okoye
- DF: Enzo Ebosse, Christian Kabasele, Hassane Kamara
- MF: Mergim Vojvoda, Jesper Karlstrom, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Lennon Miller
- FW: Giorgi Chakvetadze, Unai Gómez, Idrissa Gueye
Runjaic’s preferred 3-4-2-1 gives Ekkelenkamp and the attacking pair behind Gueye licence to roam, which fits their recent attacking output. Okoye has made the most saves of any Udinese keeper lately and should keep his place despite the leaky defense in front of him. Gueye, with a goal and six shots across his last two games, looks the most dangerous central outlet.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a tight, goal-filled game in Turin. Torino’s home advantage counts for something, but their attack has gone quiet over the last five matches, scoring just four times, and Udinese’s defense has been generous enough to let most opponents in. Perhaps the smartest route is simply trusting both attacks to find the net rather than guessing the final result. Our call: both teams to score, with Udinese’s extra attacking directness giving them a real shot at taking something from the trip, even if Torino edge it narrowly at home. To be hones, this looks more like a market for goals than for a confident home banker.
