Torino FC
Torino, is one of three teams, along with Atalanta and Inter Milan, still undefeated in 2024. The team has won three of their six matches, with the most recent being a 2-0 win over Lecce. Torino secured maximum points against Salentini in Turin, where they have only lost once in the league all season. Head coach Ivan Juric is known for his teams’ organization, and Torino has registered 12 clean sheets this term, their second-best tally throughout Serie A and their best record at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1992. Although still in mid-table, Torino is not far behind the top six, and a win on Wednesday could see them leapfrog Lazio, Napoli, and Fiorentina. The home side eased past Lecce by a comfortable 2-0 score line last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Adrien Tameze is set to return from suspension, while Alessandro Buongiorno, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Perr Schuurs are still sidelined due to injury, while Ivan Juric will have Adrien Tameze back from suspension.
SS Lazio
Lazio, a top-four contender, returned to domestic duty last weekend, welcoming Bologna to Stadio Olimpico. Despite a win in Europe, they struggled to retain an early lead and are now seven points behind Bologna and fourth-placed Atalanta BC. Lazio have lost two of their last three games, both to other European challengers, allowing several lower-placed teams to close in. Torino and Napoli are within a point of Maurizio Sarri’s men ahead of Thursday’s fixture. Despite their poor performance in Saudi Arabia, Lazio have won three of their last four away matches in Serie A. They will try to maintain this streak before a busy schedule with Fiorentina, AC Milan, and then Bayern. Lazio currently sits in eighth place in the league table and have been inconsistent over the past year.
Lazio’s Patric is set to return to the starting lineup after a groin injury, while Nicolo Casale and Matias Vecino are also in contention. Matia Zaccagni and Nicolo Rovella are expected to miss the Turin trip. Toro’s top scorer, Duvan Zapata, has not scored much against Lazio.
