Torino vs Monza Prediction - Oct 23, 2026

Torino vs Monza prediction, betting tips and match story

The Torino vs Monza prediction brings an intriguing Friday night fixture at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:45 GMT on October 23, 2026, with two tactically interesting teams carrying recent reasons for confidence.

Jurić returns to familiar ground

The central story is Ivan Jurić’s return to Turin. Monza’s coach managed Torino between 2021 and 2024 before spells with Roma, Southampton and Atalanta. Now he faces Ignazio Abate, who took charge of Torino before the 2026/27 season. There should be few tactical secrets, although football often finds a way to surprise everyone anyway.

Jurić has already enjoyed one successful return this season. Monza won 1-0 at this stadium in the Coppa Italia on September 1, with Dany Mota scoring in first-half stoppage time. That head to head result matters because Monza were priced at 5.00, while Torino’s betting odds were 1.87.

Torino approach the league meeting after two encouraging victories. They defeated Udinese 2-1 before producing an impressive 3-0 away win over Parma on October 19. Giovanni Simeone scored twice in Parma, Ché Adams added another, and Lucas Perri made several excellent saves to record his first clean sheet of the campaign.

Abate usually sets up his side in a 3-5-2. Torino defend with three central players, but their possession game is less rigid, with movement based on available space. Rolando Mandragora remains the midfield anchor, while Nikola Vlašić has earned praise for his development. Abate has also highlighted the unity of a squad learning to carry Torino’s history as a responsibility rather than a burden.

However, the hosts have absentees. Emirhan İlkhan is expected to miss around three weeks, while Niccolò Fortini, Franco Israel, Adam Masina and Pietro Pellegri are also unavailable. Monza may therefore test Torino’s depth as much as their starting system.
