Lazio vs Juventus Prediction: Serie A Match on 08.04.2023

Key Highlights

Torino’s Fight to Break into the Top Half of the Serie A Table

Torino are currently eleventh on the Serie A table with 37 points. They are 18 points clear of the relegation zone. However, they are also 13 points from the top-four position. This leaves this Turin side in a position where they are not threatened by relegation and not fighting for European places. The danger with this position is the potential risk of complacency or players switching off. Ivan Jurić will have to focus and ensure that his men are motivated to play in the run-in, starting with the visit of Roma on Saturday.

Roma’s Top-Four Chase

Mourinho’s Roma are fifth on the table, level on points with fourth-placed Inter. A win away to Torino will be crucial for Roma’s chances of breaking into the top four and enhancing their ability to qualify for the Champions League next season. Mourinho will be going for the win as matches come thick and fast and as the stakes of a top-four finish are raised as the business end of the Serie A season approaches.

Injury Report

Torino

Davina Zima is sidelined for Torino with a meniscal injury. The center-back will be unavailable for the home clash against Roma on Saturday as he nurses the injury he suffered on January 25, 2023. Having missed 11 matches for Torino, Zima is expected to be back in training by April 10, 2023. Torino will also be without central midfielder Ronaldo Vieira. The 24-year-old midfield enforcer is nursing a bruised knee since February 23, 2023. The midfielder has missed 4 matches for Torino so far, and the club has not set a return date yet. Ivan Ilic has also been missing from the squad with an ankle injury since March 30, 2023. The 22-year-old central midfielder is expected to return to the training ground by April 7, 2023. However, this match will come too soon for him to be included in the matchday squad.

Roma

Jose Mourinho’s side will be without defensive midfielder Ebrima Darboe for the trip to Turin to play Torino. The 21-year-old is nursing a cruciate ligament injury that forced him to undergo surgery. He has been out of action since July 21, 2022, and has missed 40 matches for the Stadio Olimpico side. Roma will also be without the services of right-back Rick Karsdorp. The fullback has missed action in one match since the injury on March 21, 2023. [banner][/banner]

Possible Lineups

Torino

V. Milinkovic-Savic; A. Gravillon, P. Schuurs, R. Rodriguez; W. Singo, K. Linetty, S. Ricci, M. Vojvoda; N. Vlasic, N. Radnjic, A. Sanabria

Roma

R. Patricio; N. Zalewski, C. Smalling, Diego Llorente, L. Spinazzola; G. Wijnaldum, N. Matic; P. Dybala, L. Pellegrini, II Faraone; T. Abraham

Prediction

On current form, Torino will look to play as solidly and compactly as possible to frustrate Roma and make life difficult in Turin. They will play on the break and try to force Mourinho’s side into errors or transitions that can encourage counterattacks. Roma, having bounced back to winning ways with a 3-0 home win against Sampdoria, will look to extend their good form when they face Torino on Saturday. Roma will look to strike a fine balance between their attacking and defending. Off the ball, they will close down and defend in numbers. On possession, they will look to be expansive and fast in their attacks to create chances. Given the form of these two sides going into this match, a draw is the likely result, with neither side satisfied with shared points. Make sure to bet on Torino vs Roma with 22Bet!"

Torino vs Roma Prediction: Serie A Match on 08.04.2023

Serie A Preview

There will be a huge match at the San Siro on Friday evening, as AC Milan look to maintain their challenge for a Champions League finish in Serie A. The Italian giants come into this home match after picking up one of their best results of the season in their previous fixture, but they have still lost two of their previous four.

Milan was excellent in their previous match, as they handed a massive 4-0 defeat to Napoli. The reigning champions were excellent in that fixture, with Rafael Leao being at the heart of everything good about the Italian giants. The winger scored either side of half time, and played his part in the two further goals added by Brahim Diaz and Alexis Saelemaekers. Building on that win will be key to Milan’s chances over the coming weeks.

Empoli sit in a much more comfortable position than they were before the World Cup, as they are now 12 points clear of the relegation places in Serie A. They currently sit 14th in the standings, but they could edge closer toward the top half of the standings with a rare victory on the road at the San Siro.

Empoli ended a four-game wait for a victory in their previous match, as they registered a fine 1-0 home win over Lecce. The only goal in the game was netted just after the hour mark, as Francesco Caputo smashed home his penalty. However, Empoli will be without Lorenzo Tonelli on Friday evening.

AC Milan vs Empoli Head to Head

AC Milan has an excellent recent record in this fixture, as they have picked up victories in each of their previous four matches against Empoli. The latest of those was a 3-1 success in October. Empoli’s last win against Milan was secured at the San Siro in April 2017.

AC Milan vs Empoli Prediction

This will be a big game to kickstart a huge seven days for Milan. The Italian giants was excellent in their previous match in Serie A, and we expect them to build momentum with another straightforward success against Empoli on Friday.
