Torino FC 3-2 AC Monza: Serie A Match Report, 23 October 2026

Our preview of this match was written on 18 October 2026 but only went live on 1 November, after the final whistle. Its pick is reviewed below as it was written, and it is left out of our win rate and bankroll.

Each side came into this off its first clean sheet of the season, and neither kept a second. Torino FC 3-2 AC Monza was 1-0 to Torino at the break, and the second half brought four more goals, two for each side.

Three points separated them. Torino went into it tenth on ten from seven matches and Monza fourteenth on seven, both four days on from those shutouts: Torino had won 3-0 at Parma, Monza 4-0 at home to Cagliari. Before that, Monza's six matches had all seen both sides score, with 24 goals between them, and Torino had conceded in every one of theirs.

The interval score says Torino scored first and held the lead for a half; after that, nothing can be put in order. With no record of when the four second-half goals came, it is not known whether Monza ever drew level or went ahead, only that they scored twice in Turin and still left with nothing. Torino's three matched what they had put past Parma, and their home record, one win in three going in, is now two in four.

Three straight wins have taken Torino to 13 points from eight, which is more than a quarter of last season's 45 and a different rate: about 1.6 points a match against 1.2. The goals have moved more at one end than the other. Torino have scored 13 in eight, quicker than last season's 44 in 38, while 11 conceded is only a modest improvement on the rate that let in 63, the second-worst total in Serie A. Three wins is a run, not yet a season.

Monza stay on seven. They have scored in all five of their away matches and conceded three or more in four of them, and seven of their eight games this season have had at least three goals. There is no Serie A season from last year to set them against, so the split is the reading that matters: two wins from three at home, one point from five trips away.

Our preview's call was Over 2.5 Goals at 1.85.

The case rested on Monza's matches, six of them, 24 goals, both sides scoring every time, with Torino's leaky record as support. By kick-off the both-teams-score run it leaned on had already ended, in the 4-0 over Cagliari. At half-time the score was the 1-0 the preview had named in its losing scenario, so everything depended on the second half. The underlying read, that neither defence would hold for ninety minutes, survived; calling the goal figures as unambiguous as this league produces was too strong for a total that stood at one after forty-five minutes.

Verdict: not counted. The pick would have won, but the preview only went live after kick-off.
