Torino

DWWDWL

Torino will be hoping to bounce back here following the 1-2 Coppa Italia loss in their previous game against Empoli.

In that game, Torino had 56% possession and 14 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Torino was Ché Adams (74'). Empoli got 7 shots on goal with 2 on target. Emmanuel Ekong (30') and Nicolas Haas (90') scored for Empoli.

In their prior six games, Paolo Vanoli's Torino have found the net 9 times giving them an average number of goals scored per match equal to 1.5.

Looking at their past form shows that Torino:

• have not won against Lazio in their previous 2 league games.
• have not been beaten in their last 8 league matches at home. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.

Lazio

WLDWLW

Lazio will go into the match following a 0-3 Europa League win over Dynamo Kyiv in their previous outing.

In that game, Lazio had 44% possession and 14 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. For Lazio, the goals were scored by Boulaye Dia (5', 35') and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (34'). Dynamo Kyiv got 10 shots on goal with 6 on target.

Lazio have seen success in front of goal leading up to this encounter, scoring 10 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Marco Baroni will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Lazio can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same clashes.

A look at their previous results shows us that Lazio:

• remain unbeaten by Torino when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league games. An impressive run.
• are without a win away from home in their last 4 matches in the league.

🤜🤛 Head to head

An examination of their most recent head to head meetings stretching back to 23/09/2021 shows us that Torino have won 1 of them and Lazio 2, with the number of draws standing at 3.

9 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 3 of them from Il Toro and 6 belonging to i Biancocelesti. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 1.5.

The previous league fixture featuring these clubs was Serie A match day 21 on 22/02/2024 when it finished Torino 0-2 Lazio.

In that game, Torino had 55% possession and 24 shots on goal with 4 of them on target.

Lazio had 7 shots at goal with 4 on target. Mattéo Guendouzi (50') and Danilo Cataldi (56') scored.

The referee was Federico La Penna.

🗞️ Team News: Torino

Perr Schuurs (Knee surgery), Mërgim Vojvoda (muscular problems), Zanos Savva (Partial patellar tendon tear) and Emirhan İlkhan (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be able to feature for Torino manager Paolo Vanoli.

It looks as if Il Toro could make use of the 3-4-2-1 system in the match with Alberto Paleari, Mergim Vojvoda, Saul Coco, Adam Masina, Valentino Lazaro, Ivan Ilic, Samuele Ricci, Adrien Tameze, Borna Sosa, Antonio Sanabria and Duvan Zapata.

📰 Team News: Lazio

Lazio boss Marco Baroni has a number of players out of action. Patric (Hamstring injury) and Samuel Gigot (Shoulder injury) will not be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that i Biancocelesti seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Ivan Provedel, Manuel Lazzari, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares, Matteo Guendouzi, Nicolo Rovella, Gustav Isaksen, Boulaye Dia, Mattia Zaccagni and Valentin Castellanos.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Lazio and Torino could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.

A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. That’s why our selection here is for a close game with a 1-1 score draw at the end of this game.
