LAZ vs TOR Dream11: Torino travels to the Italian capital to take on Lazio in a Serie A fixture. Lazio started the season off well but have seemed to step off the pedal. They are currently out of the top 6 in Serie A. They have also lost 2 of their last 3 league games while also losing 3 of their last 4. Lazio followed up their 4-1 loss to Bayern with a 2-0 loss to Bologna. Torino has achieved stability after a very poor start to the season and is unbeaten in their last 6 games, although 5 of them were draws. They are currently 2 points clear of the relegation zone and will look to put some distance between the team around them with a win.

Expected changes: Despite losing to Bologna, Lazio had fielded their strongest side and should persist with that. Patric, Wesley Hoedt and Francesco Acerbi should form the 3-man defence. Mohamed Fares will replace the injured Lazarri in the right wing-back position. Ciro Immobile and Joaquin Correa will continue to lead the line.

Pepe Reina (GK) Patric Wesley Hoedt Francesco Acerbi Mohamed Fares Sergej Milinkovic-Savic Lucas Leiva Luis Alberto Adam Marusic Ciro Immobile Joaquin Correa
Injury Report, Unavailability: A Covid-19 outbreak has seen Alessandro Buongiorno, Daniele Baselli, Karol Linetty and Nicola Murru all ruled out of the fixture. Expected changes: Owing to the unavailable players and their newfound stability, Davide Nicola should leave the lineup unchanged. The 3-5-2 formation will continue with Armando Izzo, Nicolas N’Koulou and Gleison Bremer starting in a 3-man defence. Wilfred Singo and Cristian Ansaldi should start on the flanks with Simone Zaza and Andrea Belotti spearheading the attack.

Sky Bet: Lazio – 2/5; Torino – 13/2
Paddy Power: Lazio – 2/5; Torino – 13/2
Two teams on opposite ends of the table will face off with each other but they both enter the game with contrasting runs of form. Torino will know that Lazio is vulnerable now and will try to hurt them. They should take the game to the home side and not sit back and play passively. Lazio will look to turn their fortunes around with this game as they will not want to get into a slump during the critical months of the season. The LAZ vs TOR Today Match Prediction holds different things at stake for both clubs but both will want those 3 points.
Most Likely Result: Draw
________________________________________
Ciro Immobile – Immobile has carried on this form from last season and has 14 goals and 3 assists so far. He has also created 32 chances and dispatched 32 shots on target which will be a huge test for the Torino defence.
Andrea Belotti – In a lacklustre Torino side, Belotti has been a shining light with 11 goals and 5 assists in the league this season. He has also created 31 chances while succeeding in 34 dribbles in the Serie A this season.
Gleison Bremer – Despite playing in a defensive role, Bremer has scored in 2 of his last 3 games and bagged the winner against Cagliari as well. He does his defensive duties well too with 129 clearances and 40 interceptions.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic – With 12 goal-contribution so far, Milinkovic-Savic will be a huge presence in the centre of the park. He has created 34 chances so far and successfully completed 76% of his attempted dribbles this season.
