Torino vs Lecce prediction 16.02.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Friday, 16th February 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin)

For the last two seasons, Torino finished 10th in Serie A, winning 50 and 53 points. This season looks pretty much the same, as they are currently on pace to win 50-55 points once again. Right now, they are 10th with 33 points from 23 rounds, just five away from the European spots. Still, after the game vs Lecce, they will have a really tough schedule where they will face Lazio, AS Roma, Fiorentina, and Napoli in the next four rounds, so winning all three points against Lecce is imperative. 

Last year, Lecce finished only five points away from the relegation zone. Generally speaking, they are around the danger zone whenever they compete in Serie A. Right now, Lecce are 13th with 24 points from 24 matches, only five points away from the relegation zone. Even though they are just three spots away from Torino, they trail by nine points despite playing one extra game so far. Recently, Lecce struggled, and if they continue with poor performances, they could easily end up in the danger zone.

Torino vs Lecce pick: Torino to win

Torino lost just once in the last ten games in Serie A, losing only to Fiorentina away from home 1:0. At Stadio Olimpico di Torino, Il Toro has been playing well throughout the season, having only lost to the league's leader, Inter. They really excelled defensively at home, keeping a clean sheet in 64% of their games. Only Inter was as successful as Torino in Serie A this season, and Lecce will have a difficult task of scoring against Torino. 

Lecce are in terrible form, losing six of the last eight games. Away from home, they have been simply terrible throughout the season and are one of the only three teams in Italy without a win so far. It seems they are only getting worse away from home, considering they lost five in a row before this match while scoring only once during that period.

Torino won the previous h2h game away from home in October. Additionally, Torino won the last four h2h games (one after ET). Considering the previous h2h games and everything above, we believe Torino should secure a comfortable win.
