This Saturday, Matchday 6 of Serie A features Lazio hosting Torino at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Here’s a look at the match and the best betting option for goals based on each team’s current performance.
Match Preview
Under Maurizio Sarri, Lazio had a strong win in their second match but has struggled at home since then, with only one win in their last nine Serie A matches at the Olimpico.
Lazio’s scoring has been limited, rarely exceeding two goals, and they find it difficult to break down even weaker defenses.
On the other hand, Torino is facing difficulties as well. They lost to Parma recently and have scored only two goals in five matches, marking one of the lowest records this season.
Torino’s performance away from home is also concerning, with just one win in their last eight league matches. However, they maintain a solid defensive structure, especially against teams that aren’t very attacking.
Probable Lineups
- Lazio: Provedel, Marušić, Hila, Romagnoli, Pellegrini, Cataldi, Bašić, Zaccagni, Cancelleri, Dia, Castellanos
- Torino: Israel, Maripán, Coco, Ismajli, Nkunku, Lazaro, Casadei, Vlašić, Asllani, Ngonge, Simeone
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- In 4 of the last 5 matches between these teams at Lazio’s ground, no more than two goals have been scored.
- Torino has only managed to score two goals in five league games this season.
- In 6 of Lazio’s last 8 home Serie A matches, opponents have scored at most one goal.
Prediction
Both teams are struggling to generate scoring opportunities, with Torino being among the least effective teams in Serie A. Despite Lazio’s recent win, they often struggle at home and lack confidence in finding the net. Considering the careful approach from both sides and their finishing issues, a low-scoring game seems likely. The recommended bet is “Under 2.5 goals” at odds of 1.82.
