Torino’s downfall has been deafening – four defeats in four matches since September 24 and an Italian Cup exit at the hands of Empoli. At the moment they are already in ninth place in the league, and it will be very difficult for Paolo Vanoli’s team to regain their lost positions. Duvan Zapata was not only the captain of the team and the leader of the locker room, but also the player around whom the whole attacking game is built. A serious injury to the Colombian forward is a very big loss for the hosts, and it will be difficult to recover from it. The problems in defense have not gone away either – Torino have consistently conceded three goals in three consecutive rounds.
In each of Torino’s four previous Serie A matches, five goals have been scored. Given Como’s ultra-attacking style, which they demonstrate against any opponent, there will be a lot of goals in this match.
