Udinese have scored 8 goals in 5 Serie A matches, compared with Torino's 5, and the gap in attack is the main reason this feels slightly tilted toward the visitors. The two clubs are level on 4 points after five games, and they go into Torino vs Udinese with very little between them on the table.
Udinese's attacking edge
The raw scoring numbers are not huge, but they are enough to matter in a game like this. Udinese sit 13th with 4 points and a goal difference of minus three, while Torino are 14th on the same total and the same goal difference, yet Udinese have still found the net more often.
That is before you get to the recent run. Udinese have lost three straight league matches before the break, which keeps a bit of caution around their form, but the broader attacking return is still better than Torino's. Sports Mole went with a 2-1 away win, and that looks like the more natural lean if one side is more likely to create the sharper chances.
Torino's home wait
Torino are still seeking their first home win of the season, which is the bigger pressure point for [Ignazio Abate](plain text only) to deal with. Their recent league line is one win in five, and their home record against Udinese has been decent enough to stop this from feeling like a one-way fixture, with just two defeats in the last 10 league meetings in Turin.
Udinese also won both meetings last season, including a 2-1 win in Turin in January, so the visitors have already shown they can carry the game plan to this ground. Kosta Runjaic does not need a huge performance here, just a cleaner one than Torino have managed at home so far.
Monday night should be tight, but the scoring edge still sits with Udinese, and that is why they look the likelier side to leave Turin with points.
