Lazio vs Torino Prediction: Will the Romans be able to extend their winning streak at home?

Lazio is in fine form. Maurizio Sarri's side has won four games in a row. Will the Romans be able to extend their winning streak at home to Torino? It is clear that Lazio will have a tough time with four previous encounters with the Turin side ending in draws.

The team is on the right track following their Conference League exit to AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands. Four wins in a row - this is how the team approaches their home clash with Torino. If we look at the last eight games in the Italian league, the current form of Lazio looks even better, with seven wins, one draw, and conceding just one goal in their 2:1 home win over Juventus. They are sitting comfortably in second place with a 5-point lead over the runners-up, thereby winning the unofficial title of a national champion without counting Napoli, who are 14 points behind Lazio.

While Lazio has a winning streak, Torino has been without a win in four successive rounds. They began with their 4:0 home defeat at the hands of Napoli, followed by a 0:1 away draw at home to Sassuolo and generally poor performance, a 0:1 home loss to Roma, and a 1:1 draw at home to Salernitana. They sit 10th in the standings and will remain in this position till the end of the championship.

Lazio and Torino's main weapon this season is their defensive play. Therefore, it's no wonder that the bookmakers are offering such low odds on the underdogs, and, quite possibly, there really won't be many goals in the upcoming game. So, let's bet on the low-scoring game, and as for the outcome, we favor Lazio - Maurizio Sarri's side has won four straight league games, seven of their last eight, and are deservedly in second place in the standings. On the other hand, Torino has slowed down of late, as if they had finally lost their tournament motivation.
