We have just one midweek game from Serie A this week, as teams catch up on games played and it should be a really good contest, with two sides who are going along nicely at the moment. Torino are the hosts, they head into the week in 10th with 36 points, and they take on a side just above them, Lazio, who have 37 points on the board.
Torino Form GuideI've been really impressed with what Torino have done all season, but recently in particular, they've found a way to ensure they don't lose games. That's given them a genuine shot at finishing in the top half, and they're only five points off the top six, with a game in hand on some of those around them.
To make things better for Torino, they come here on the back of a good win at the weekend. They were at home then too, and won 2-0 against Lecce, a game that never really looked in doubt. They are now unbeaten in their last six games, with three wins and three draws in that period.
Lazio Form GuideLazio are going along ok at the moment, but certainly no better, and I know some people will be a little disappointed with what they have done so far this season. Four off Roma in 6th, eight off Atalanta in 4th, it could be better, but it has by no means been a disaster for them just yet.
They come here on the back of a defeat at the weekend, and two losses from their last three league games, so are not in the best of form right now. At the weekend, they lost 2-1 at home to Bologna, their other loss was a 3-1 away defeat at Atalanta. But there's hope for what happened in the middle, a 3-1 win at Cagliari and a 1-0 home win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Match PredictionA tight game is expected here, and I am going to side with the home team Torino to take all three points. They're in good form, and against a side who are struggling a little, so it's Torino for me.
