Il Toro were good on their travels at the end of last season and picked up 11 points from their last six Serie A matches on the road. However, they were also slow starters, winning just one of their first nine away matches. Therefore, 101 Great Goals’ prediction for this match is Monza 1-1 Torino and is available at odds of 11/2.

The Torino central forward scored six goals (or 0.3 per 90) in Serie A last season with an expected goals of 9.6 and is 11/2 to be the first name on the score sheet in this match. Or 15/8 to score at any time during Saturday’s game.
Match preview
The White and Reds welcome Torino to the Stadio Brianteo in Monza on Saturday for this Serie A match.
Monza finished last season in 4th place in Serie B to enter into the promotion play-offs. There they defeated Brescia and Pisa to win promotion to Italy’s top-tier for the first time. Their 40 seasons in Serie B before achieving promotion is a record in Italy.
I Biancorossi come into this match on a run of six home league games undefeated carried over from last season. Monza lost their last league match of the 2021/22 season away to Perugia. The final score of the match was 1-0.
Matteo Pessina is a doubt due to a knee injury for this match. The Monza midfielder made 27 appearances last season. Fortunately, Monza come into Saturday’s match with Pessina as the only injury or suspension to worry about.
Torino finished last Serie A season in 10th place, 12 points behind ACF Fiorentina in 7th. This saw them miss out on qualification for the UEFA Conference League by quite a margin. Il Toro come into this match on a run of five away league games undefeated carried over from last season. Torino lost their last league match of the 2021/22 season at home to Roma. The final score of the match was 0-3.
Bremer is likely the biggest departure for them this summer. The 25 year old centre-back has joined Juventus FC for £36.90m. While the proceeds have been spread around, Samuele Ricci is the biggest name signing for them this summer. The 20 year old defensive midfield arrives from FC Empoli for £7.65m.
