Torino and Lazio last played against each other on February 22 during the 21st round of Serie A. Lazio secured a confident 2-0 victory in Turin.

Torino

Accustomed to languishing in the lower half of the table, Torino is showing impressive results this season. Under the guidance of Paolo Vanoli, the Piemontese team has not lost any of their first five league matches, placing them at the top of Serie A with 11 points. The team drew against Milan (2:2) and Lecce (0:0), and also won against Atalanta (2:1), Venezia (0:1), and Verona last Friday (2:3), thanks to goals from Duvan Zapata and Che Adams, who came off the bench in the second half. However, last week, the hosts unexpectedly lost at home to Empoli in the Round of 16 of the Coppa Italia (1:2).

This Sunday, Torino will attempt to remain unbeaten in their first six Serie A matches for the first time in 32 years! Defenders Vojvoda and Schuurs, promising Turkish midfielder Ilkhan, and young striker Savva (18 years old) are still absent from the squad. Croatian playmaker Vlasic is close to returning to action, but he will definitely not play this weekend. Paraguayan forward Sanabria scored in the last round, as did Zapata (2 goals) and Adams (2 goals), giving Vanoli plenty of options in attack. Ilic and Ricci will solidify the central midfield for the white and browns, while Serbian Milinkovic-Savic will don the goalkeeper’s gloves.

Lazio

Last season, Lazio finished seventh in the Serie A table, securing a spot in the Europa League group stage. The capital club hopes to surpass this result in the new campaign, and to achieve this, Marco Baroni was invited to take over as head coach during the summer. However, the start of the championship has been disappointing for the Biancocelesti: currently sitting in eighth place overall, the Romans have achieved only two victories against two defeats in five rounds. After returning from the international break, Lazio won against Verona (2:1) but lost to Fiorentina last weekend (2:1). Last week, the Lazio team started their Europa League campaign excellently, beating Kyiv’s Dynamo 3:0.

It is important to note that the visitors risk losing all three of their opening away matches in the league for the first time since 1969. Center-back Jigo is unavailable due to injury. In contrast, Spanish forward Castellanos (3 goals) has returned to the squad and is expected to feature in attack. Senegalese Boulaye Dia (2 goals), who transferred from Salernitana during the transfer window, is in excellent form, having scored twice in the Europa League. Italian Zaccagni (1 goal and 2 assists) and Frenchman Guendouzi are also expected to get playing time in the upcoming round, especially as Lazio’s attacking line has been weakened this summer with the departures of Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson, and Immobile.

Prediction

Prediction: Lazio will be playing their third match in almost a week. Torino has a similar schedule, but the intensity of the Coppa Italia match cannot be compared to the Roman team's game in the Europa League. The Bulls are fresher and also playing at home, so we are placing our bet on them based on that. Moreover, historically, Torino has an advantage in head-to-head matchups against Lazio.

Recommended bet: Torino to win with an Asian handicap (+0.25) at odds of 1.70.
