Lazio vs. Torino in the capital

Lazio aiming for consistency as they host the Granata, who are hoping to turn their form around

An important match awaits at the Olimpico, where Lazio are set to host Torino. Maurizio Sarri’s men are looking for another victory following last week’s success in Genoa, hoping to prove they’ve put their slow start and consective defeats to Sassuolo and Roma behind them. Torino have a similar aim. The Granata beat Roma on their last visit to the capital – their only league win so far this season – before losing to Atalanta and then Parma on Monday.
