After winning Serie B the last season, Lecce's primary goal is to stay out of relegation. So far, they were successful in holding themselves above the danger zone throughout the season. They are in 15th place but relatively safe for now, with nine points more than the 18th-placed Verona.
Lecce will welcome Torino in their try to break the two-game losing streak. They lost against Sassuolo and Inter in back-to-back games, but before those two games, they were solid with a win over Atalanta and a draw vs AS Roma.
Even though Lecce are among the teams with the lowest overall goal-per-game statistic, that isn't the case at home. In 13 home games, we have seen just two games where both teams failed to score.
In their 11th consecutive season in the league, Torino established themselves as a reasonably stable Serie A team. They are 9th at the moment, but already eight points behind Atalanta and the spot that would give them an opportunity to secure the Europa Conference League qualifications spot.
Even though Torino won just four points at home than on the road, there is a big difference in their play style away from home. At home, Torino allowed just eight goals, being the third-best defense in Serie A, behind AS Roma and Inter. On the road, Juric's side allowed 21 goals in 13 matches! It is unbelievable how different they are at home and on the road. At home, Torino averages 1.6 goals per game, and on the road, that number is at 2.8.
Lecce vs Torino pick: Both teams to score
Lecce failed to score only in two of the 13 home games this season. On the other hand, they allowed at least one goal in all of their 13 home matches. Torino have been struggling the keep the clean sheet on the road. In 15 road matches, they allowed at least one goal in 13 of them. In the last four road matches, Torino allowed nine and scored six goals.
Torino are the slight favorite by the bookies in this match, but considering everything above, both teams to score should be the best option for this match.

Torino Team News
Ivan Juric was satisfied with a win over Bologna in the last round. He told the press that this was a team win and that winning without the best players will give them a confidence boost. Torino won without midfielder Ricci, winger Lazaro, attacking midfielder Vlasic, and potentially the best striker, Pellegri.
Samuele Ricci will be available after serving his suspension in the last match.
Pietro Pellegri trained with the team and could be back for limited minutes after missing several months due to injury.
David Zima, Ronaldo Viera, Nikola Vlasic, and Valentino Lazaro are injured and will miss the game. Luckily for Torino, they should all be back by the end of March.
