The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this week as Lazio take on Torino at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday. Both teams have a few issues to address this week and will need to be at their best in this fixture.
Torino have endured a miserable month so far and have conceded an astonishing 11 goals in their last two league games. The Turin-based outfit is only four points above the relegation zone and has plenty of work to do ahead of this game.
Lazio, on the other hand, find themselves in sixth place in the league table and have not enjoyed the best of campaigns this year. The Biancocelesti suffered a 2-0 defeat in the Derby della Capitale over the weekend and cannot afford to drop points in this match.
Lazio vs Torino Head-to-Head
Lazio have an excellent record against Torino and have won 16 matches out of a total of 32 games played between the two teams. Torino have managed only six victories against Lazio and will need to be at their best on Tuesday.
The previous meeting between the two Italian sides took place in November last year and ended in an exhilarating 4-3 victory for Lazio. Torino gave a good account of themselves on the day but will need to be more robust in this fixture.

Lazio vs Torino Prediction
Lazio have a formidable squad but have largely failed to hit their stride over the course of this season. The likes of Ciro Immobile and Luis Alberto can be lethal on their day and will need to step up to the plate on Tuesday.
Torino also have impressive players in their ranks but have endured a miserable Serie A campaign this year. Lazio are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Lazio 3-1 Torino
