Lazio may yet believe that there is a slim chance that they could catch Napoli at the top of the standings. They come into this game chasing a fifth straight win, which could see them move to with eleven of top spot.
Serie A Preview
Lazio has been one of the standout teams in Europe in the second half of the season. The Italian giants come into this fixture sitting second in the overall standings, while they have won each of their previous four matches in the league. Lazio already looks on course to finish in a Champions League spot this term, as they are ten points clear of fifth-placed Inter Milan with ten games of the season remaining.
Lazio’s excellent run of form was maintained last weekend, as they registered a straightforward 3-0 win on the road against Spezia. The deadlock was broken from the penalty spot after 36 minutes when Ciro Immobile netted the opening goal. Two further efforts were then registered in the second period, with Felipe Anderson and Marcos Antonio netting efforts.
Torino looks on course for a finish in the middle of the Serie A standings this term. They currently sit eleventh overall, but they could move into the top ten with a victory on the road this weekend. However, wins have been hard to come by over their previous five, as they have picked up just a single victory over that period.
Meanwhile, they come into this fixture having failed to win in their previous four. Over that period, they have suffered two defeats, and have been held to draws on two occasions. Their most recent draw was picked up last weekend, as they played out a 1-1 stalemate against Salernitana in front of their home fans.
Lazio vs Torino Head to Head
Draws have been exceptionally common in the previous meetings between these sides, with each of the previous four ending level. Over that period, two clashes have ended 0-0, while none of the last four have resulted in over 2.5 goals. But, Lazio do come into this fixture having gone unbeaten in their last seven against Torino.
Lazio vs Torino Prediction
While the run of draws is an interesting angle this weekend, we can only see Lazio maintaining their charge toward finishing in a top four spot. We expect the home side to record a straightforward 2-0 success.
