Torino and Udinese set for midtable clash
Torino host Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, the club from Udine has scored nine goals in their last five despite losing three straight. Meanwhile, the Turinese side has lost three of their last four games at home.
Ignazio Abate’s side have not seen the best start to the season, their only win coming against a poor Fiorentina, while their only draw came against Bologna. But with a three week break they may have had enough time to improve on their issues. During the press conference it was clearly said they needed to be ‘propositivi e concreti’, proactive and pragmatic, also saying they will have to match the physicality that Udinese brings to the game. They have no major injuries issues, though Zapata is still building fitness, while Pellegri is slowly returning from a cruciate ligament injury.
Udinese go into this fixture after losing three straight games, the international break came at the perfect time for them to reset and start fresh, starting with a game away against Torino. Kosta Runjaić mentioned in his press conference that they will be prioritizing fitness over anything. With Zanoli being back from his injury he will stay on the bench for now, with Vojvoda and Kamara likely starting on the wings. Another player that is ready to play is new signing David Alaba, though they will evaluate his fitness to see if he’s ready to start. The most important thing for Udinese is to sustain their pressure across both halves, often struggling to play out matches while starting strong.
Torino have won 8 out of the last 14 matches at home against Udinese, despite losing the most recent one with 1-2. This fixture has also not ended scoreless in their last 27 meetings.
Torino 2-1 Udinese was played on matchday 6 of Serie A 2026/27. Torino sit 12th in the table, while Udinese sit 15th.
