Torino vs Modena prediction: Bulls to break the Canarini
Key stats
- Torino won once in their five preseason friendly games (D1, L3).
- The Bulls lost just twice in their final 10 home league games (D4, L4).
- Modena haven’t kept a clean sheet in 11 matches.
- The Canarini are winless in seven of their last 10 away competitive games (W3, D2).
Correct score prediction: Torino 2-1 Modena
Torino’s dismal end to last season saw them slump to a bottom-half Serie A finish, overtaken by dark horses Como. This collapse cost Paolo Vanoli his job, with ex-Lazio coach Marco Baroni now tasked with reviving the Granata. A shaky preseason makes this Coppa Italia tie critical for momentum before their daunting league opener against Inter Milan.
Modena, mirroring Torino’s struggles, finished 11th in Serie B last term. Though new manager Andrea Sottil has sparked hope with four straight preseason friendly wins, Coppa Italia presents a far sterner challenge against top-flight opposition.
Despite their struggles, Torino’s superior individual quality should overpower Modena’s resilient but limited squad. Baroni’s need for a confidence-boosting win before facing Inter will sharpen focus, while Sottil’s men, though organised, lack the depth to sustain a full 90-minute upset. Expect a nervy opener before Torino’s class edges it late, with either Pisa or Cesena to take on in the next round.

Despite losing several key players, including Samuel Ricci, Torino are strong favourites to claim a victory at home and progress to the next round. They are priced at 3/5 (1.60) odds, indicating a 62.5% chance of success in this season opener.
Modena almost shocked current Italian champions Napoli in the Coppa Italia first round last season, before succumbing 4-3 on penalties. However, this time, Torino has the upper hand, as bookies have assigned the Canarini with 9/2 (5.50) odds – a 18% chance of success.

Player to watch: Cesare Casadei
With midfield talisman Samuel Ricci departing for AC Milan, the creative burden now falls to 22-year-old Casadei. The former Chelsea prospect, who impressed for Italy U21 in the recent U21 European Championship, must now prove he can dictate play at the highest level, starting with anchoring Torino’s new-look midfield in this crucial cup test.
