Torino vs Lazio

, KO: 11:30 Sep 29, 2024, Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino
Lazio

Torino are aiming to maintain their fine start to the season as they host Lazio in a Serie A fixture on Sunday. Both teams have had their moments this term but with neither defence looking solid, goals could be expected here.

Torino have been one of the surprise teams this season as they are currently sitting one point clear at the top of the standings. They are still unbeaten in Serie A, claiming three wins from their five matches.

A small problem for Torino is their shaky defence which was evident as they claimed a 3-2 victory over Verona last time out in Serie A. Paolo Vanoli’s men will head into Sunday’s clash off the back of their first defeat of the season as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Empoli in the Coppa Italia in midweek.

It has not been the best start to the season for Lazio, who have been a bit erratic so far. Marco Baroni’s men have claimed two wins and suffered two defeats in their five Serie A matches and were beaten 2-1 at Fiorentina last time out.

Lazio have had their moments of quality this season and were impressive in Wednesday’s Europa League clash. They claimed a 3-0 victory over Dinamo Kiev with Boulaye Dia netting a brace while Tom Dele-Bashiru was also on target.

How the bookies view it: Slight edge for Lazio

Lazio have a slight edge among the bookies and are priced at 8/5 by Betfred to claim the win. A victory for Torino is valued at 15/8 while Betfred is also offering odds of 21/10 for a draw.

Head to head: Lazio often superior

Lazio have a 20-10 advantage with 17 draws from 47 previous matches against Torino. The capital club did the double last season and claimed a 2-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino back in February.

Players to watch: Castellanos to star

Valentin Castellanos has caught the eye for Lazio this season, scoring three goals in four Serie A appearances. The striker will be the one to watch on Sunday and is priced at 11/5 with Betfred.

Che Adams appears to be settling well at Torino and has three goals across all competitions this season. The forward could be worth keeping an eye on at 12/5 with Betfred.

Probable line-ups

Adams scored off the bench in the previous Serie A fixture and could be handed a start in attack alongside Duvan Zapata. Samuele Ricci should start in midfield while Guillermo Maripan should continue in defence.

Castellanos missed the defeat to Fiorentina through injury but should return to the starting line-up after coming off the bench in the Europa League. Dele-Bashiru could also earn a start in midfield while Mario Gila is set to feature at the heart of the defence.

Torino: Milinkovic-Savic, Walukiewicz, Marian, Masina, Lazaro, Tameze, Ricci, Ilic, Sosa, Adams, Zapata
Lazio: Provedel, Lazzari, Patric, Gila, Tavares, Guendouzi, Vecino, Isaksen, Dele-Bashiru, Zaccagni, Castellanos

Anything else catch the eye?

Torino and Lazio have some quality going forward and with neither defence looking convincing, both teams could be backed to score at 5/6 with Betfred. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 6/5 by Betfred, who is also offering odds of 3/1 for over 3.5 goals.

Lazio have opened the scoring in the last two meetings with Torino and could be backed to grab the first goal on Sunday at 19/20 with Betfred.
