As part of the 30th round of Serie A, Lazio will face Torino at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, March 31. The match is set to kick off at 20:45 Central European Time. This is an intriguing encounter, and I recommend considering a bet on the winner.
Lazio
Lazio is having a solid season and can be considered to be performing well overall. They currently sit in 6th place in the Serie A standings with 51 points, having secured 15 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses.
The team has been particularly strong at home, where they’ve earned 7 wins, 5 draws, and only 2 losses at the Stadio Olimpico. This impressive home form is what has kept them in the European competition zone.
However, Lazio’s last match was a huge disappointment, suffering a heavy 0-5 defeat away to Bologna. This loss is sure to motivate Marco Baroni’s team as they aim to bounce back and redeem themselves in front of their home fans.
Lazio has also been performing well in European competitions, reaching the quarter-finals where they will face Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt.
Torino
Torino sits in 11th place in the Serie A standings with 38 points, having won 9 matches, drawn 11, and lost 9. The team has shown consistency throughout the season, maintaining a balanced goal difference of 34 scored and 34 conceded.
On the road, however, Torino has been less convincing, with 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses.
In their last match, Torino secured a narrow 1-0 win over Empoli, continuing a positive run in which they’ve lost just once in their last 12 matches.
