Torino 1-3 Como: Como win in Turin again, and the head-to-head record said they would
After last season's 6-0 and 5-1, Como win 3-1 away at Torino to move up to 20 points and 4th place. Torino stay 8th on 13.
6-0. 5-1. Those were the 2 previous meetings between Torino and Como before tonight, and the 3-1 final score simply adds another chapter to a story already written: in 4 recent meetings, Como have won 3 and Torino just 1.
That is why this result isn't a real surprise. Torino beat Como only in October 2024, 1-0 at home. After that: 1-0 to Como in April 2025, 5-1 in Turin in November 2025, 6-0 in Como in January 2026. 4 games, 14 goals in total, and a single side that has taken control of the fixture.
The table shows two teams climbing at different speeds
Como are 4th with 20 points from 9 games: 6 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat. They have scored 17 goals and conceded 8. Torino are 8th with 13 points: 4 wins, 1 draw, 4 defeats. The Granata (as Torino are nicknamed) have 14 goals scored and 14 conceded, against Como's 17 scored and 8 conceded. 7 points separate the two sides, and the gap shows most clearly at the back.
Form: Torino weren't arriving in bad shape
Let's be fair here. Torino came in on 3 wins from their last 3: 2-1 against Udinese, 3-0 at Parma, 3-2 against Monza. Before that, a 1-1 at Bologna and a 0-2 home defeat to Roma. Over their last 5 games they had scored 9 and conceded 6. The winning run was stopped by a side that scores freely and concedes little.
Como came in with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5, with 7 goals scored and 4 conceded. The 2-0 against Sassuolo and the 3-1 at Fiorentina are their 2 most recent results. Away from home, Como won at Fiorentina and lost 0-2 at Frosinone: they're not a flawless machine, but their last trip ended in a win with 3 goals.
The scorers: where the attacking weight comes from
In front of goal, Como carry a threat from several directions. Anastasios Douvikas leads the way with 5 goals. Martin Baturina has 3 goals and 1 assist, Nico Paz 3 goals and 3 assists. Torino have Che Adams as their main reference point, with 4 goals. That's 3 Como players near the top of the list against just 1 from Torino: it's the difference in depth that the 3-1 has made visible.
What it says about Torino at home
Talking about a home crisis would be too much. In their last 3 home games before this one, the Granata had beaten Monza and Udinese and lost to Roma. The picture is up and down, not collapsed. The point is something else: Torino remain 8th with 4 defeats in 9 games, and against Como home advantage has never really counted in the recent meetings. In the 2 most recent home fixtures between the sides, Torino lost 1-5 and won 1-0.
What to watch in the coming days
For Como, the question is whether the trip to Turin closes the chapter of ups and downs away from home: 4th place and 20 points are a solid base. For Torino, here's what I'd keep an eye on: defensive stability, because with 14 goals conceded in 9 games, that's the number keeping the Granata in mid-table. If Adams keeps scoring, the attack is there. If the goals against don't come down, 8th place stays a ceiling.
