Separated by just two points in the Serie A standings, Torino and newly promoted Como will face off on Friday afternoon.
In recent weeks, the hosts have fallen from their early-season high as surprise league leaders to a more average position in the middle of the table. They’ve suffered a disappointing string of results, losing consecutive games to Lazio and Inter Milan, and then another defeat after the international break.
On the other hand, the visitors have shown encouraging signs that they are adjusting to life in Serie A after earning promotion as Serie B runners-up last season. While their hosts have struggled with a dip in form, Como seem to be finding their feet in Italy’s top division.

Team news & squads
Torino team news
As Torino gear up for a challenging stretch of fixtures that will culminate in the Turin derby, manager Paolo Vanoli faces a few selection headaches. Both Ivan Ilic and Borna Sosa remain unavailable, while team captain Duvan Zapata is sidelined for the rest of the season. Perr Schuurs' comeback from a significant knee injury has been pushed back to 2025.
On a more positive note for the hosts, Adrien Tameze and Marcus Pedersen are expected to return after recovering from illness, while Chilean defender Guillermo Maripan is back in the squad following his suspension.
With Karol Linetty set to captain the team from midfield, Che Adams and Antonio Sanabria will continue to lead the attack in Zapata's absence. Both forwards have netted three goals each in Serie A this season.
