When is Torino vs Monza and why does it matter?

Both clubs opened Serie A with two defeats and zero points. Torino lost to AC Milan at home and fell 2-1 at Sassuolo on 29 August. Monza were beaten 4-1 by Inter and then 3-2 by Udinese at home. A cup exit at this stage would deepen the strain on Abate and Juric.
What do the Coppa Italia stats and recent form show?
Torino's cup run remains alive after a 1-0 win over Carrarese. Monza answered with a 3-0 victory against Avellino, their brighter competition result so far. In broader recent form, Goal.com records Torino with seven goals scored and six conceded across their last five matches, while Monza have 12 goals for and 13 against in the same span.
Torino also confirmed goalkeeper Lucas Perri on loan from Leeds United shortly after the Sassuolo defeat, a squad change that could reshape Abate's options. Defensively, both sides leaked goals in their latest league outings: Torino conceded twice against Sassuolo and Monza three times against Udinese.
What is the Torino vs Monza head-to-head record?
The most recent Serie A meeting came on 2 March 2025, when Torino won 2-0 at Monza. Across the last five encounters between these sides, Goal.com lists two Torino wins, one Monza win and two draws, with 11 goals in total and none of those five games exceeding 2.5 goals.
ToffeeWeb's deeper sample paints a starker picture for Monza: the Brianzoli are winless against Torino across seven or eight historical meetings, with roughly four or five Granata victories and three draws. That long-run dominance is why pre-match analysis leaned toward Torino or draw at 1.73, even with both teams struggling in Serie A.

Monza's injury list is extensive. Captain Matteo Pessina faces a prolonged absence with a serious knee problem, summer signing Gustavo Varela is out with an adductor issue, and Pedro Obiang is suspended. Patrick Cutrone has returned from a layoff, while Michael Folorunsho could make his debut.
Torino report fewer headaches but still list absences including Cesare Casadei, Adam Masina, Franco Israel and Ivan Ilić, with Eray Cömert unavailable after his league debut against Sassuolo. Both sides are expected to mirror 3-4-2-1 shapes, though Torino's starting striker remained unconfirmed before kick-off.
