Torino vs Lazio prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

The Serie A continues this midweek and will see Torino host Lazio on Thursday in the fifth matchday of the Italian Serie A.

Torino have had notoriously poor Serie A campaigns over the last two seasons as they avoided relegation by four and five points respectively. Torino have appointed new boss Ivan Nuric over the summer in hopes of returning to the top end of the table.

Torino began their Serie A campaign with back-to-back 2-1 defeats to Atalanta and Fiorentina. However, they returned to winning ways in their third league game as they beat newly-promoted Salernitana 4-0. Torino then picked up a second straight win when they beat Sassuolo 1-0 last weekend.

Lazio, on the other hand, began their Serie A campaign with consecutive victories. They beat Empoli 3-1 in their opening game before beating Spezia 6-1 in their next game.

Lazio were, however, handed their first league defeat in their third game when they lost 2-0 to AC Milan.

Lazio are currently on a three-game winless run which includes their loss to AC Milan, a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in their Europa League clash and a 2-2 draw with Cagliari in their last league game.

The Eagles currently sit sixth in the Serie A table with seven points from four games.

Torino vs Lazio Prediction

Torino go into the game on Thursday off the back of consecutive wins in which they scored five goals and kept clean sheets in both games.

Lazio, on the other hand, have failed to win any of their last three games in all competitions and failed to score in two of those. They will be looking to return to winning ways on Thursday but the points between the sides should be shared.

Prediction: Torino 1-1 Lazio
