Lazio vs Torino Live Stats & Betting Odds
Lazio Prediction – Can Lazio extend promising run?
An impressive 2-1 win away from home at Fiorentina on the weekend helped Lazio up into 6th place and a possible European berth as they extended their unbeaten run in the Italian top flight to 4 matches prior to this Wednesday night clash against Torino.
Wins against Genoa 4-0 at home and the aforementioned win at Fiorentina along with picking up points in draws with Bologna 2-2 and a high-scoring 3-3 encounter with Atalanta have helped Simone Inzaghi’s side into the top six and they’ll be desperate to hold onto this on Wednesday night.
The hosts have every chance of doing so too as they’re still unbeaten on home turf at their Stadio Olimpico as they possess a solid home record which stands at 2-2-0 10/4 and includes wins against Parma and Genoa which were both to nil (2-0 and 4-0 respectively).
With just 2 defeats out of their last 12 matches at home in Serie A, Lazio look set to further add to their points tally on Wednesday night while forward, Immobile (10 goals), looks the biggest threat up front for the hosts.
Torino Prediction – Can Torino move into top half?
While Lazio have been stringing a 4-match unbeaten sequence together in the Italian top flight, the exact reverse has happened to Wednesday night’s visitors, Torino, as they’ve now endured a 4-match spell without a win in Serie A.
Defeats to Parma 3-2 and Udinese 1-0 (both away from home) along with draws against Napoli and Cagliari at home, have prevented Torino from lifting themselves up into the top half of Serie A, although they do possess a 4-point buffer above the relegation zone at the moment.
Overall, Torino have registered just 3 wins out of their first 9 matches of this new Serie A campaign, with 2 of these 3 victories being achieved on home turf at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, with wins over Sassuolo and AC Milan.
However, results away from home have been less convincing as the visitors have lost 3 of their 4 away matches to date this term amidst an overall away record of 1-0-3 5/7 which includes defeats at bottom club Sampdoria as well as losses at Parma and Udinese.
Key-Facts – Lazio vs Torino
- Lazio are unbeaten in their last 4 matches overall in Serie A
- Lazio have lost just 2 of their last 12 home matches in Serie A
- Torino have lost 4 of their last 5 matches away from home in Serie A
Betting Tips Verdict
Lazio look to be in fairly solid form right now and should collect all three points here.
