Let's dive into this Italian face-off. We've got Lazio and Torino ready to bash heads on the football field. Between the sticks for Torino, we have Vanja Milinković-Savić, who has been decently consistent with a 7.10 rating, making six significant saves so far. On the other side, defending Lazio's goal will be Ivan Provedel, who sports a respectable 6.80 rating with eight saves.
Moving on to the land of the field players. Torino's top lads included Cristiano Biraghi, Cesare Casadei, and Che Adams. Biraghi's been solid in his pass accuracy, while Casadei and Adams have found the back of the net once each. But, let's take a moment of silence for Alieu Njie, Perr Schuurs, Duván Zapata, and Amine Salama, who, unfortunately, will be warming the bench due to injuries.
Over in Lazio's camp, Mattia Zaccagni and Nuno Tavares have been on their game, putting up impressive ratings. Gustav Isaksen also contributes, despite being goalless, as his presence is felt with an 83.1% accurate pass rate. A dark cloud hovers over Lazio, though, as they'll miss the services of Matías Vecino, Valentín Castellanos, Patric, Arijon Ibrahimović, and perhaps even Nuno Tavares.
As for their past duels, Lazio seems to have the upper hand, winning three out of the last four meetings. Torino, however, can't be discounted as they are quite the hustler in draws, racking up 11 this regular season. Recently, Torino's performance has been as consistent as a toddler's crayon scribble, while Lazio's has been somewhat shaky, struggling to maintain dominance in their fixtures.
So, where does that leave us? Well, if I had to place a bet, my gut tells me this might not be Lazio's day.
