Lazio v Torino

Lazio vs Torino Preview

Onto Italy and the Serie A action continues in midweek with this upcoming clash between Lazio and Torino at the Stadio Olimpico with the hosts looking to kick-start what has been an ordinary start to this season's campaign while Torino will be keen to continue their upward surge up the Serie A table with a positive result in this encounter.

Lazio have produced a somewhat disappointing start to this new Italian top flight season as the hosts find themselves languishing in the lower half of the Serie A table having picked up just one win in their opening five games which is in stark contrast to how Lazio performed last season.

Wednesday night's hosts finished last term in the runners-up spot behind the Scudetto winners, Napoli, but having suffered three defeats out of their opening five games of this new season, Lazio currently occupy a lowly 15th place in the league ladder and just a point above the relegation zone.

Lazio are therefore expected to be highly motivated in gaining all three points in this upcoming clash but the goals market appeals as four out of Lazio's five league games to date have resulted in both teams scoring and indeed, the hosts have also failed to keep a clean sheet into the bargain as well.

Torino have moved up the Serie A table to ninth place which is thanks to putting together a three-match unbeaten run in the Italian top flight heading into Wednesday night's trip to the Stadio Olimpico to take on early strugglers, Lazio.

Torino had previously started this new Serie A season in indifferent fashion as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home with Cagliari on the opening day of the season and this was followed by a heavy 4-1 thrashing away from home at AC Milan.

However, Torino have since steadied the ship by picking up seven points in their subsequent three league matches by way of wins against Genoa and Salernitana along with a point in a draw with Roma on Sunday.

The bigger picture shows Torino have lost just twice in their last 11 matches overall in Serie A while form away from home has been particularly impressive where the visitors have been concerned.

Torino have slipped to just one defeat in their last eight outings on the road and having collected no fewer than six wins in the process, they too will be confident that they can grab a favourable result here on Wednesday night.

Lazio v Torino Verdict

Both Lazio and Torino will be keen to pick up all three points in this encounter but goals for both teams looks the most likely outcome here, especially as four out of the last seven meetings have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score Yes @ 1.90
