Torino – Lazio

Will Torino be able to take advantage of their opponent’s tight schedule?

Torino are deservedly at the top of the Serie A standings. It would have seemed like a sensation even before the start of the season, but now - not at all. In five rounds, Torino managed to gain 11 points. The Bulls have three wins and two draws to their credit. The team started with a division of points with Milan. Then, however, Torino conceded twice starting in the 89th minute. They could have won the game. Then there were victories over Atalanta (2:1) and Venice (0:0). "Dry" with Lecce did not prevent Vanoli's wards from beating Verona in the last round match. The Garnets did it more than confidently. The team took the lead in the 10th minute, quickly conceded, but took the lead again before the end of the first half. Adams' third goal in the 79th minute allowed the game to be played out in peace. And even Ellas' second goal towards the end of the match did not spoil the impressions of the Turin side. On Tuesday, the team met Empoli in the Italian Cup. Unfortunately for Torino, this match ended with the team's first defeat of the season. Is that fair? Not really. "Bulls" had the game advantage, and the second goal conceded in the 90th minute. It's a shame, it had to happen sooner or later. Lazio lost in the previous round. The Romans met with Fiorentina, who had not had a single victory before this match. On Wednesday, the Eagles played in the Europa League. The game with Dynamo Kyiv ended with a more than convincing 0:3 victory for the Biancocelesti. However, the performance of Baroni's wards is not the best. In the championship the team occupies the eighth line with two wins, a draw and two defeats. Both opponents played matches in the middle of the week. However, it is obvious that the importance and intensity of the match of the Romans was much greater. If Marco Baroni fielded the main squad for the match against Dinamo, Paolo Vanoli could afford to rotate. At the same time, in 3 October the Biancocelesti will play another European Cup match. At the Olimpico, the team will host Nice. So in Turin, the Eagles can play with a very experimental lineup. And this is despite the fact that the Romans can't find their game without it. "Bulls" have already proved their worthiness in matches against Milan and Atalanta. Can Paolo Vanoli's team take points away from Lazio? Quite.
