Serie A is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Lazio take on Torino on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Torino are in 11th place in the Serie A standings and have shown flashes of brilliance so far this season. The away side held AC Milan to a 0-0 stalemate last week and will look to take it up a notch in this match.
Lazio, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. The Biancocelesti eased past Genoa by a 4-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Lazio vs Torino Head-to-Head

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