Torino vs Lazio prediction, preview, team news and more

The Serie A is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Lazio take on Torino on Saturday.

The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes in recent years and have a point to prove in this match.

Torino have made a good start to their league campaign and are currently in eighth place in the Serie A standings. The home side edged Monza to a 2-1 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.

Lazio are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have also started their Serie A season on an impressive note. The Biancocelesti defeated Bologna by a 2-1 scoreline in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Torino vs Lazio Head-to-Head

Lazio have a good record against Torino and have won 16 out of the 35 matches played between the two teams. Torino have managed six victories against Lazio and will look to cut the deficit in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in April this year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.

Lazio have impressive players in their ranks and have managed to step up to the plate under Maurizio Sarri. The likes of Ciro Immobile and Felipe Anderson can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark this weekend.

Torino can pack a punch on their day but have struggled against the Biancocelesti in the past. Lazio are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
