Como go into Torino vs Como with a club-record 17 points from eight Serie A matches. Torino are on 13 points from eight, and their three straight league wins are their best run in seven years. That makes this a proper test of which side's momentum holds when they meet in Turin on Tuesday 27 October.

Torino's revival and Como's fast start

Torino's current run is the more obvious recent lift. They have collected 13 points from their last six matches, and three consecutive Serie A wins for the first time since 2019 is the kind of sequence that changes the tone around a team quickly.

Como's start still stands out more on the spreadsheet and in the table. Seventeen points from eight games is a club record, and their recent league form has brought four wins in five. They also beat Manchester United 4-1 in midweek, a result that only adds to the sense that they are carrying confidence into this fixture.

The preview is not just about the numbers, though. Sports Mole's preview team said this "will be a tougher test for Como than previously expected, as Torino have started to find some rhythm under their new coach and look more of a threat in the final third."

Team news and attacking focus

The attacking names give the game another layer. Tasos Douvikas has five Serie A goals and six in all competitions this season, and he has scored in his last four games across all competitions. He remains the clearest finishing threat for Como.

Kian Fitz-Jim adds a different angle for Torino. He scored his first Serie A goal in the recent win over Monza, and Torino's improved midfield contribution matters in a side that has started to look more balanced. Sky Sport Italia also reported that Torino are without Mandragora and have a Fitz-Jim or Gineitis doubt in the build-up.

On the Como side, Sky said they are expected to make changes, with Nico Paz, Ramón, Valle and Milla all toward returns from the start. That sits alongside the line from Sports Mole that the visitors can turn to a deep bench, which could prove the difference in a tight game.

The cleanest read is that both clubs arrive with reasons to trust themselves. Como have the stronger league start, Torino have the sharper recent run, and Torino vs Como now looks like a meeting between two sides who have earned their momentum rather than borrowed it.
