The Italian top flight action continues on Monday night when Torino play host to Lecce as the betting tips continue at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Torino Prediction – Can Torino win three on the trot?
Having collected early back-to-back wins to start their new Serie A season in impressive fashion, Monday night’s hosts, Torino, will be confident that they can grab another three points in this clash against newly promoted Lecce at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
Back-to-back victories against Sassuolo 2-1 at home and a 3-2 win away at Atalanta have provided Torino manager, Walter Mazzarri and his players the perfect start to their Italian top flight campaign, and recent results in Serie A suggest the hosts could add to their points tally here too.
Torino have won 6 of their last 8 matches overall in Serie A as well as losing just 1 of their last 12 matches overall, and the hosts will be in confident mood ahead of this clash with Lecce as they’ve won their last 4 home matches on the trot.
Wins over AC Milan, Sassuolo (twice) and Lazio will give them belief they can grab another three points here, especially as they’ve lost just 1 of their last 12 on home turf too. The hosts are also unbeaten in their last 4 meetings at home with Lecce.
Lecce Prediction – Can Lecce avoid third defeat on trot?
In total contrast to their hosts impressive start to this new season, visitors Lecce have had to endure the exact opposite start to their new Serie A campaign as the newly promoted side from last season’s Serie B have suffered back-to-back defeats to leave them second from bottom in the early Italian top flight standings.
It’s been 7 years since Lecce’s last appearance in Serie A and the newcomers couldn’t have made a worse start upon their return to the flight following early back-to-back losses away at Inter Milan 4-0 and a 1-0 defeat at home to Hellas Verona.
Lecce will now face a tough trip to face an in-form and confident Torino outfit in their own backyard on Monday night and having managed to win just 1 out of their last 9 matches overall in all competitions, the visitors look to have their work cut out to get a result of any sort in Torino.
As mentioned earlier, Lecce have failed to beat Torino away from home in each of their last 4 visits, and this upcoming fixture doesn’t look any easier as they seek to avoid a third league defeat on the trot.
Key-Facts – Torino v Lecce
- Torino have lost just 1 of their last 12 matches overall in Serie A
- Lecce have won just 1 of their last 11 away matches in all competitions
- Torino are unbeaten in their last 4 matches at home against Lecce
Betting Tips Verdict
Torino’s explosive start to this new season should see the hosts sweep aside Lecce here.
