Lazio will be looking to maintain their push for a European finish when they host Torino at Stadio Olimpico in their Serie A Matchday 33 encounter on Saturday night with kickoff at 21:45.
Lazio have been flying high lately in Serie A and head into the match off a rampant 4-1 away victory against genoa last Sunday. The victory saw them record back-to-back victories in the top flight as they were previously coming off a 2-1 victory against Sassuolo.
They have now won four of their last five Serie A games a run that has boosted their European quest as they now sit sixth in the standings on 55 points from 32 matches, just two points behind firth-placed Roma, while they are seven points outside the Champions League places.
However, their European spot is being eyed by the seventh-placed Fiorentina, who have also been flying high lately and a drop of points for Lazio on Saturday could leave them outside the European places. Therefore they will be looking to maintain their new found winning momentum in order to keep their place in the standings.
Lazio are unbeaten against Torino in their last five Serie A meetings claiming three victories in the run and they should be confident of extending that run in the Saturday’s clash.
Torino, meanwhile have been inconsistent this season with the side claiming just 10 victories from their 31 matches this season so far, and as result they sit 11th in the middle of the table with 39 points on board in their name, six points outside the top half.
However, Torino have shown some flashes of brilliance lately and they held league leaders AC Milan to 0-0 stalemate last week and will look to take it up a notch in this match.
