Torino return to action aiming to build on their convincing 3-0 win over Verona, a result that eased pressure after a dreadful spell. With Il Toro finding their best form in festive fixtures, we predict that they will defeat Udinese 1-0 on Matchday 19. Adam Masina is unavailable for the Zebrette due to international duty, but he has not been part of the regular starting plans, meaning Marco Baroniâs structure should remain intact. At home, Torino have struggled for consistency, collecting just 0.80 points per game and conceding 2.40 goals per match, a sharp contrast to their solid overall defensive numbers. However, their expected goals of 1.56 at home suggests they consistently create chances, even if finishing has often lagged behind.Udinese, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Como at the weekend, continuing a poor run that includes four losses in their last five away games. The Zebrette average only 0.60 goals per game on the road while conceding 2.00, highlighting clear imbalance. Their failed-to-score rate of 60% away is one of the lowest in Serie A. There are no fresh injury worries for the visiting team ahead of the trip to Turin. Historically, Torino hold a strong H2H advantage with 15 wins from 28 meetings.
