The Italian Serie A Matchday 12 concludes with an intriguing Monday night fixture as Torino hosts newly-promoted Como at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Scheduled for Monday, November 24, 2025, this match brings together two teams enjoying impressive, albeit contrasting, periods of form. Como, managed by the ambitious Cesc Fàbregas, has been the season’s surprise package, currently occupying a lofty 7th position with 18 points from 11 matches.
The Lariani boast the second-best defensive record in the entire league, having lost only once this season. Torino, under coach Marco Baroni, sits lower down the table in 12th position with 14 points. Despite a disappointing league standing, the Granata enter the match on a solid six-game unbeaten run across all competitions, primarily built on resilient defensive displays. This fixture promises a tactical battle between Torino’s home defense and Como’s organized, yet attack-minded, system, as both teams look to break into the top half and continue their challenge for European qualification spots.

Team Form and Analysis for Torino
Serie A Performance and Streak of Draws
Torino currently sits in 12th position in the Serie A table with 14 points from 11 matches, a record of three wins, five draws, and three losses.
The Granata have shown great resilience recently, extending their unbeaten run to six matches across all competitions, including an impressive 0-0 away draw against city rivals Juventus in their last league outing. However, this streak is marred by a tendency to draw, with their last three league matches all ending in stalemates. Torino’s overall season has been defined by defensive solidity at home, having conceded zero goals in the second half of all their home matches so far this season, while possessing a modest goal differential of -6 (10 goals scored, 16 conceded). Coach Marco Baroni faces a significant challenge with star striker Giovanni Simeone (the team’s top scorer) sidelined with a thigh injury. The team’s strategy will rely on maintaining their strong defensive shape, dominating the central midfield, and utilizing the aerial threat of their veteran forwards to break down Como’s formidable backline.
Key Player: Duvan Zapata
In the absence of the injured Giovanni Simeone, veteran forward Duvan Zapata will shoulder the primary attacking responsibility for Torino. The Colombian striker, known for his physicality and aerial prowess, provides a crucial focal point for the Granata‘s attack. Zapata excels in aerial duels and his ability to hold up the ball and bring the wide players into play will be essential for unsettling Como’s disciplined defense. His experience in high-pressure Serie A fixtures will be invaluable for the home side as they look to secure a much-needed home victory.
Team Form and Analysis for Como
Serie A Campaign and Defensive Resilience
Como currently occupies an impressive 7th position in the Serie A table with 18 points from 11 matches, a remarkable record of four wins, six draws, and just one loss.
The Lariani have been exceptionally consistent this season, entering this fixture on a fantastic ten-game unbeaten streak across all competitions. Under the guidance of Cesc Fàbregas, Como boasts the league’s joint-second best defense, having conceded only six goals all season. Despite their defensive strength, their recent form has been characterized by too many draws, including three 0-0 stalemates in their last four league matches. Their away form, while mostly unbeaten (W1, D3, L1), has been pragmatic rather than spectacular. Como’s strategy will focus on maintaining their defensive organization, controlling the ball in midfield, and relying on their talented creative players and forwards to convert their limited opportunities. They will be without key winger Assane Diao, as well as defensive players Edoardo Goldaniga and Sergi Roberto due to injury.
Key Player: Nico Paz
Attacking midfielder Nico Paz has been a standout performer for Como this season, leading the team’s scoring charts with four goals. The Argentinian youngster provides the main creative spark for the Lariani, operating behind the central striker. Paz is known for his technical quality, intelligent movement, and willingness to take shots from distance. His ability to link up play with the forwards, particularly Álvaro Morata, and his threat from open play will be essential for unlocking a Torino defense that is highly efficient in the second half of matches.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
The recent competitive history between the two clubs in Serie A has been evenly matched, with home advantage proving decisive in their last two meetings.
| Metric | Torino Wins | Draws | Como Wins |
| Total Last 5 Competitive Meetings | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| Last Serie A Meeting (Apr 2025) | Como 1-0 Torino (H) | ||
| Home Team Result in Last 2 Serie A H2H | W (1-0, 1-0) |
The overall historical record in the past two decades slightly favors Torino, who have won three of the last five competitive meetings. However, the two most recent encounters, both taking place in the 2024/25 Serie A season, were low-scoring affairs that were decided by the home team. Torino won 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in October 2024, and Como won 1-0 at the Stadio Sinigaglia in April 2025. Crucially, none of the last six competitive matches between these two teams this century have produced over 2.5 goals, and neither team has scored in both halves in any of their last six meetings. This low-scoring trend highlights the defensive nature of this particular fixture.
Players to Watch
Torino
- Nikola Vlašić (Attacking Midfielder): The Croatian international is a crucial creative outlet, known for his powerful running and technical skill in the final third. Vlašić will be responsible for creating chances and taking shots, especially with the absence of Simeone.
- Kristjan Asllani (Central Midfielder): The central midfielder is the engine room of the Granata. His passing range, ball retention, and defensive work rate will be vital for controlling the tempo and breaking up Como’s well-organized counter-attacks.
Como
- Álvaro Morata (Forward): The experienced Spanish forward provides quality movement and finishing in the box. Morata has a good record against Torino (three goals, three assists in eight meetings) and is often decisive in the closing stages of games, with four of his last four club goals arriving after the 80th minute away from home.
- Maximo Perrone (Defensive Midfielder): The young Argentine midfielder is key to Como’s excellent defensive record. His positioning, ability to screen the back four, and composure on the ball under pressure will be essential for disrupting Torino’s attacks.
Prediction
This fixture is set to be a tight, tactical, and likely low-scoring affair, a pattern consistent with the recent history of these two defensive-minded teams. Como’s phenomenal defensive record (just six goals conceded) and their stability under Cesc Fàbregas make them slight favourites, despite playing away from home. Torino’s unbeaten run is commendable, but the loss of top scorer Giovanni Simeone will severely blunt an attack that has already struggled to convert draws into wins. Given Como’s unbeaten streak and the propensity for both teams to struggle to score goals, the visitors are well-equipped to grind out a result.
Score Prediction: Torino 0-1 Como
