Torino return home against Udinese with a history that broadly favours the Granata, though the most recent meetings offer a more difficult reminder. In 42 official home matches against the Friulani, Torino have won 22 times, drawn nine and lost 11. Yet the two encounters played in the 2025/26 season both ended in Udinese victories.
The coach and the club
Under Ignazio Abate, Torino are expected to use a 3-4-1-2 system. Marco Perri is set to start in goal, behind a three-man defence of Pietro Comuzzo, Saul Coco and Guillermo Rodriguez.
Ali Belghali, Tiago Bragança, Rolando Mandragora and Cacciamani are named across midfield, with Gaetano Oristanio operating behind the forward pair of Che Adams and Giovanni Simeone.
Kosta Runjaic’s Udinese are listed in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Maduka Okoye is due to play in goal, protected by Festy Ebosse, Oumar Solet and Emmanuel Abankwah.
Mërgim Vojvoda, Sandi Lovric Karlstrom, Oier Zarraga and Hassane Kamara make up the midfield line. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Giorgi Chakvetadze are expected to support Unai Gomez, who leads the attack.
