Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Torino and Lazio go head to head at Stadio Olimpico di Torino in what is expected to be an interesting Serie A encounter. Il Toro aim to build on a 2-0 win over Lecce and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Thursday’s encounter. All Rodriguez, Buongiorno, and Schuurs remain in the recovery room, while fit-again midfielder Karol Linetty should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Bologna. As Lazio are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the midweek clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Defender Patric limped off with injury in the last league match, with Nicolo Casale likely to replace him in the starting XI. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last six meetings in the Italian top flight.
