Como vs. Torino Prediction, Match Preview and Betting Tips, 13 April 2025 - bettingexpert

This Sunday, Como will take on Torino at Stadio G. Sinigaglia in what promises to be an intriguing mid-table clash in Serie A. Both teams are positioned in the middle of the league standings, with Como sitting in 13th with 33 points and Torino in 10th with 40 points. Although Como is the bookmakers’ favourite with odds of 1.92, Torino’s recent form (DDWDW) suggests a resilient side that’s tough to beat.

Cesc Fabregas has been guiding Como impressively this season amidst rumours of a potential move to the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig. Torino, on the other hand, will be without suspended key player Samuele Ricci, which might tilt the balance slightly in Como’s favour. Matteo Marcenaro is the referee for this fixture, and with his history of awarding penalties, the match could have some exciting moments.

Given the current standings and form, a close and balanced game is expected, with a draw being a likely outcome.

Both teams are gearing up for a balanced match, with bookmakers slightly favouring Como. Given their recent performances and respective standings, Como, the 13th-placed team, seems to have the edge according to the odds.

Como Team Analysis

Como Recent Performance

Home team	Away team	Date	Competition	Result
Monza	Como	2025-04-05	Serie A	1-3 (Win)
Como	Empoli	2025-03-29	Serie A	1-1 (Draw)
AC Milan	Como	2025-03-15	Serie A	2-1 (Loss)
Como	Venezia	2025-03-08	Serie A	1-1 (Draw)
Roma	Como	2025-03-02	Serie A	2-1 (Loss)

Como has displayed a mixed bag of results recently, with a form of WDLDL. Their last five games include a commendable away victory against Monza but are bookended by losses to AC Milan and Roma.

Despite the lack of clean sheets in their last five matches, Como has consistently found the back of the net, averaging 1.4 goals per game. This attacking output might be a crucial advantage as they face Torino.

Overall, Como’s recent performances indicate tenacity and the ability to challenge stronger teams.

Como Key Players

Nico Paz stands out as Como’s top scorer this season with 6 goals. His attacking prowess will be pivotal for Como as they seek to break down Torino’s defense. An interesting match-up will be Paz against Torino’s defensive stalwart, Guillermo Maripán. Young talents like Assane Diao and Maxence Caqueret also bring creativity and dynamism to the midfield, ensuring Como can transition quickly from defense to attack. In defense, Edoardo Goldaniga and Marc-Oliver Kempf will be tasked with containing Torino’s main threat, Che Adams.

Expected lineup for Como:

• Goalkeeper: Jean Butez
• Defenders: Mergim Vojvoda, Edoardo Goldaniga, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Álex Valle
• Midfielders: Maxence Caqueret, Lucas Da Cunha, Gabriel Strefezza, Nico Paz, Assane Diao
• Forward: Anastasios Douvikas

Every player will need to perform at their best to secure a positive result.

Como Suspensions & Injuries

Como have been fortunate to avoid any suspensions ahead of their match against Torino, allowing coach Cesc Fabregas full selection for tactical choices.
However, there is a notable injury affecting the team:

Player	Injury	Expected return
Alberto Dossena	Cruciate ligament injury	Early October 2025

Alberto Dossena’s absence in defense could cause some instability, but Fabregas will hope that his other defenders step up to fill the gap. Dossena’s injury means more pressure on Edoardo Goldaniga and Marc-Oliver Kempf to hold down the fort at the back. The rest of the squad will need to stay injury-free to ensure Como continue their recent upward trajectory in the league.

Como Tactics and Formation

Como Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-2-3-1
• Key Forward: Anastasios Douvikas
• Attacking Midfielder: Nico Paz
• Wingers: Gabriel Strefezza (right), Assane Diao (left)

Under the management of Cesc Fabregas, Como typically employs a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Jean Butez starts in goal, with Mergim Vojvoda and Álex Valle taking the flanks as right and left backs, respectively.
Edoardo Goldaniga and Marc Oliver Kempf are tasked with central defensive duties, aiming to stabilize a defense that has lacked clean sheets recently.
In midfield, Maxence Caqueret and Lucas Da Cunha provide defensive support, allowing the creative Nico Paz to drive forward and link up with the wingers.
Gabriel Strefezza and Assane Diao aim to stretch opposition defenses, creating space for Anastasios Douvikas, who leads the offensive charge.

Torino Team Analysis

Torino Recent Performance

Torino have shown resilience in their recent outings, staying unbeaten in their last five fixtures. This run showcases their capability to grind out results, including two draws against Verona and Lazio, a vital win over Empoli, and a stalemate against Parma Calcio 1913. The team managed to secure a solid away win against Monza, highlighting their decent form on the road.
Their recent performances underline a balanced approach in both defence and attack, with an average of 1.40 goals scored in their last five games and two clean sheets during the same period. Here’s a closer look at their last five results:

Home team	Away team	Date	Competition	Result
Torino	Verona	2025-04-06	Serie A	1-1 (Draw)
Lazio	Torino	2025-03-31	Serie A	1-1 (Draw)
Torino	Empoli	2025-03-15	Serie A	1-0 (Win)
Parma Calcio 1913	Torino	2025-03-08	Serie A	2-2 (Draw)
Monza	Torino	2025-03-02	Serie A	0-2 (Win)

Torino’s solid form will be a crucial factor as they face Como, especially given the latter’s mixed results. Despite a ban ruling out Samuele Ricci, Torino will look to key players like Nikola Vlasic and Che Adams to spearhead their efforts. The team aims to maintain their position and close the gap on the higher ranks as they visit Stadio G. Sinigaglia.

Torino Key Players

Torino’s squad is packed with talent, which is essential for their mid-table positioning and recent unbeaten run. Leading the charge is Che Adams, their top scorer with 8 goals, who is vital for their attacking prowess. Nikola Vlasic also stands out with his playmaking abilities and creativity on the pitch.
Expected lineup for Torino:

• Goalkeeper: Vanja Milinković-Savić
• Defenders: Sebastian Walukiewicz, Guillermo Maripán, Saul Coco, Cristiano Biraghi
• Midfielders: Cesare Casadei, Ivan Ilić, Nikola Vlasic, Gvidas Gineitis, Elif Elmas
• Attacker: Che Adams

Key individual battles include Che Adams against Marc-Oliver Kempf and the creative duel between Nico Paz and Nikola Vlasic in midfield. Their performance against Como’s defense, which hasn’t kept a clean sheet in the last five games, will be crucial.

Torino Suspensions & Injuries

Torino’s squad will be dealing with several absences due to injuries and one key suspension. Here’s a detailed look:

Player	Injury	Expected return
Perr Schuurs	Knee injury	Unknown
Duván Zapata	Cruciate ligament injury	Out for season
Alieu Njie	Broken ankle	Late May 2025
Amine Salama	Muscle injury	Doubtful
Valentino Lazaro	Muscle injury	Late April 2025

Player	Suspension	Expected return
Samuele Ricci	Red card	1 match

These absences could significantly impact Torino’s game plan. Missing the likes of Duván Zapata and Perr Schuurs means they’ll need to rely on other squad members to step up, particularly as they prepare to face Como. The suspension of midfielder Samuele Ricci adds another layer of complexity, as his contributions in the middle of the park will be sorely missed.

Torino Tactics and Formation

Torino’s Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-2-3-1
• Key Forward: Che Adams, who has scored 8 goals this season.
• Midfield Duo: Cesare Casadei and Ivan Ilić, expected to cover the defensive midfield roles.
• Defensive Strength: Two clean sheets in the last five games show their resilience at the back.

Paolo Vanoli’s side will rely on a robust defensive line featuring Sebastian Walukiewicz and Guillermo Maripán, with Cristiano Biraghi adding width on the left flank. Nikola Vlasic and Elif Elmas add creativity and pace on the wings, aiming to supply key passes and crosses to the lone striker, Che Adams. With Samuele Ricci suspended, the team will need a solid performance from the remaining midfielders to control the game.
