Form guide
Torino are tenth in Serie A with 10 points from seven games and have won their last two, 2-1 against Udinese and 3-0 at Parma on Monday. Their games are consistently tight: all seven league games had two or three goals.
Monza are 14th with seven points. Their games have been more open, but they are coming off their best result of the season, a 4-0 win over Cagliari on Monday. Before that they lost 3-1 at Lazio. Monza also won 1-0 in Turin in the Coppa Italia in September.
Head-to-head
This fixture has been low-scoring for years. None of the last six meetings had more than two goals: 0-1, 2-0, 1-1, 1-0, 1-1 and 1-1.
Team news
Both sides have injury problems. Torino are without Pellegri, Fortini and İlkhan, among others. Monza are missing six players, including Pessina and Touré.
Our prediction and why
We take under 4.5 goals. Torino's league games never go above three goals, and the last six meetings all finished with two goals or fewer. Monza's open games are the reason we use 4.5 rather than a lower line.
