Torino vs Lazio Predictions and Betting Tips
There's plenty of action this Sunday in the Serie A much to the delight of Italian football fans. Our focus for this one will be at Turin as Torino welcome Lazio to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. In yet another instalment of Turin vs Rome, who gets all three points?
Lazio just edges past their opponents over the last 17 meetings. The capital club has recorded eight wins in that time compared to their opponent's four. It is also to be noted that Inzaghi has never lost to Giampaolo in all seven meetings between the two Italians. The most recent meeting between the two ended in a win for Lazio and the capital club, certainly, will be hell-bent on replicating that performance.
Still, no wins on the board for La Granata
Torino enters into this week in 19th place after four played games. The Turin-based side welcomes Lazio to their home turf bidding to get their first win of the season. With just one point on the board, things need to change for Giampaolo who is currently looking at a possible sacking.
They were involved in a six-goal thriller in the most recent league game against Sassuolo. As at the 80th minute, it looked like Torino has finally recorded their first league win of the season, given that they were 3-1 up. However, with two quickfire goals from Cheriches and Caputo, the home side snatched a point. La Granata managed to get past Lecce in mid-week to register their first win of the season- in all competitions. Will they get their first league win this weekend?
Inzaghi keen on getting his players back to speed
Lazio's start to the season, in all honesty, has been under-par looking at the quality they possess. In the league, they sit at 12th place with two wins, a draw and two losses from five games. This is quite far from their performance at the start of the last campaign. However, we've been seeing glimpses of last season's Lazio in the UEFA Champions League as they lead the way at the top of Group F.
Inzaghi and his troops recorded their first win in four league games last time out. Goals from Luis Alberto and Immobile trumped De Silvestri's late strike as they ran out 2-1 winners. Although they lead the way in Group F, they had to share the spoils in their matchday two clashes away to Club Brugge.
Torino vs Lazio Team News
Torino possible starting XI:

Lazio possible starting XI:
Reina; Acerbi, Hoedt, Patric; Marusic, Milinkovic-Savic, Parolo, Luis Alberto, Fares; Correa, Immobile
Torino vs Lazio Prediction: 1-2
The home side is currently going through a rough patch with no wins in four. Goals haven't been hard to come by for them with five of their seven league goals being scored by Andrea Belotti. AS a result, if he's having a quiet game, the team lose their major attacking threat.
Lazio, on the other hand, still haven't found their rhythm since the coronavirus lockdown but will be heading into this game brimming with confidence since the won both legs against Torino last season. Although we expect to see both sides to score, we believe the away side are well worth backing.
