Lazio vs Torino prediction

• Date: 16/04/2022  
• Competition: Serie A  
• Time: KO 20:45
• Venue Stadio Olimpico (Roma)

An on-form Lazio takes on the challenge of Torino at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday with the hosts looking to solidify their place inside Serie A´s top 6.

Just 2 points behind city rivals Roma in 5th place, Lazio will be determined to maintain their return to form in recent weeks which has seen them claim 4 wins from their last 5 league outings. Of course, those victories sandwiched a painful 3:0 defeat in the Rome derby but despite that loss Lazio remains on course for a top 6 finish with Fiorentina and Atalanta now trailing I Biancocelesti.

At the Olimpico, Lazio remains a strong side, losing just 2 of their last 28 league fixtures however they have found wins more difficult to come by in recent months with just 4 in their last 9 home matches. Prior to those 9 matches, Lazio had won an impressive 17 of the previous 19 home league contests.

Still, having won their last 2 at the Olimpico, Lazio will be confident of picking up another 3 points here against a Torino side that continues to struggle on their travels. Indeed, the visitors arrive in Rome having lost 7 of their last 12 away matches with just 2 wins picked up during that period and with several players missing, seem unlikely to match the quality of a Lazio side that dispatched Genoa 4:1 las time out.

A lack of firepower has been the biggest issue for Torino with Ivan Juric´s side scoring only 7 goals in those 12 most recent away fixtures. Torino have also scored more than 1 goal in only 1 of their last 21 away league matches and in none of their 10 most recent league fixtures.

While Torino does have a decent recent record in this fixture, we´re backing Lazio to maintain their winning form at home and claim another 3 points with the away side missing several important players for this fixture while also struggling in front of goal in recent weeks. 

Final score 2:0
