Torino v Lazio

Torino vs Lazio Preview

Only one point separates Torino from Lazio ahead of Thursday night's clash in Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino as Torino bring a six-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming midweek encounter, while Lazio slipped to a second defeat in three games in the Italian top flight when they were handed a 2-1 defeat at home to Bologna on Sunday, so the visitors are still four points adrift of Roma and the top six pack.

Within their recent six-match unbeaten sequence, Torino have picked up points in draws with Genoa, Salernitana and Sassuolo whilst these stalemates have been further boosted by picking up three victories in the process as well with wins collected against the likes of Napoli 3-0 at home, a 2-1 win on the road at Cagliari and a solid 2-0 home win against Lecce.

Ivan Juric's side will therefore be in quietly confident mood ahead of this fixture against Lazio especially as the hosts have suffered just the two defeats out of their last 15 matches overall which incidentally were both dealt out to Torino on their travels with losses incurred at Bologna and Fiorentina.

However, Torino have also recorded seven wins within this sequence, five of which have been registered on home soil at their Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, while the hosts are also unbeaten in their last seven home games with five of these seven games also keeping clean sheets as well.

Lazio were handed a second defeat in three games in Serie A following a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Bologna which followed a 3-1 win away from home at Cagliari but also a previous heavy 3-1 loss away at Atalanta as well.

Nevertheless, Lazio still remain in the top half of the Serie A table where the visitors currently occupy eighth place which has been largely thanks to picking up four wins on the trot prior to their two recent defeats.

Victories against Empoli, Frosinone, Udinese and Lecce had given Lazio much promise and hope in terms of gaining a place in one of the European spots but the visitors still find themselves on the fringes of the top six pack ahead of this midweek fixture at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Results away from home have also been fairly ordinary of late in the Italian top flight as Lazio have won just four of their last 10 outings on the road while also being handed five defeats in the process as well, so there appears to be no guarantees of success for Maurizio Sarri's side.
