Current form

Torino: struggling at home

Ignazio Abate's Torino sit 14th with 4 points after five rounds (1W 1D 3L). The most worrying aspect is their home record: across two games at the Olimpico, they are still winless, just 1 goal scored and 4 conceded. Away from Turin, the picture is brighter: 1W 1D 1L across three matches, 4 goals scored.

Recent form (L-D-W-L-L) reflects an inconsistent side. With a negative goal difference (–3) and no win at home, Torino go into this game under real pressure to deliver points in front of their own supporters.

Udinese: firepower on the road

Kosta Runjaic's Udinese are in an equally delicate position: 13th with the same 4 points (1W 1D 3L). Their overall goal difference is negative (–3), but their attacking output away from home stands out: 6 goals scored in 2 away games, averaging 3 per match, with 1 win and 1 loss. At home, Udinese have managed just 2 goals across 3 matches (0W 1D 2L).

Recent form (W-D-L-L-L) shows three consecutive defeats following a brief recovery. Key creative midfielder Nicola Zaniolo is injured and expected to miss this fixture.

In the overall standings, AS Roma, Inter and Lazio lead Serie A with 13 points each after five rounds. Torino and Udinese, both on 4 points, trail the leaders by nine, a significant gap so early in the season. The pressure is real for both sides, who desperately need points to move away from the bottom of the table.

Recent history

Across the last five meetings between Torino and Udinese in Italian football, recent advantage edges toward Udinese. The Friulians won both most recent encounters in the 2025-26 season, including a victory in Turin in January 2026 (1–2). Torino, however, won the two preceding meetings in 2024-25.

• 2026-05-02: Udinese 2–0 Torino (Round 35, 2025-26, Udine)
• 2026-01-07: Torino 1–2 Udinese (Round 19, 2025-26, Turin)
• 2025-04-23: Torino 2–0 Udinese (Round 33, 2024-25, Turin)
• 2024-12-29: Udinese 2–2 Torino (Round 18, 2024-25, Udine)
• 2024-03-16: Udinese 0–2 Torino (Round 29, 2023-24, Udine)

The historical balance slightly favours Udinese in the recent head-to-head, but Torino at home have a record that can reverse trends.

What to expect

This is a clash between two struggling sides with an urgent need for points. The key tension is the contrasting home-and-away profiles: Torino are weak at the Olimpico (0 wins, 1 goal scored in 2 home games), while Udinese arrive with genuine road momentum (6 goals in 2 away games, averaging 3 per match).

Without Zaniolo, a confirmed absence, Udinese lose their most creative and unpredictable player. That simplifies Torino's defensive task, though the visitors still have Lovric and Chakvetadze in midfield. The doubt over Gueye also weakens the visitors' midfield depth.

For Torino, Che Adams, targeting a return for this very fixture, could be the difference-maker if he is available. Abate's side must resolve their defensive frailty at home (4 goals conceded in 2 matches) if they are to have any realistic chance of taking all three points.

Both teams need to win to climb away from the lower reaches of the table and prevent the gap to mid-table from widening further. With the top three already on 13 points (Roma, Inter and Lazio), every matchday counts.

Players to watch

Rolando Mandragora (Torino): The captain and central midfielder is the creative engine of the granata. An Italy international, he is the link between midfield and attack when Torino operate at home. With the pressure on for a home victory, Mandragora carries heightened responsibility.

Nikola Vlasic (Torino): The Croatian attacking midfielder is the most technically gifted player in Torino's squad. His ability to combine between the lines and shoot from distance represents the main goalscoring threat when Abate's side plays in compressed spaces.

Maduka Okoye (Udinese): The Nigerian goalkeeper will be crucial in containing Torino at their home ground. With a measured defensive game, Okoye will need to compensate for the absence of the visitors' creative players. One of Serie A's best in his position, he could be the defining factor in a draw.

Sandi Lovric (Udinese): With Zaniolo out, Lovric assumes even greater importance. The Slovenian is the organizer of Udinese's play, the player who decides when the team accelerates or slows down. Neutralizing Lovric is the key for Torino to contain the visitors' attacking threat.
