Torino welcome Lazio to the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino for a clash that pits the league’s most vulnerable defence against one of Serie A’s most disciplined backlines.
With both teams locked in mid-table, but with contrasting approaches and recent fortunes, this fixture could be decided by discipline, defensive quality, and who best capitalises on big chances. Kick-off is set for 17:00 on Sunday 1 March.
Best Bets & Predictions
Based on defensive records, goalscoring patterns, and recent head-to-heads, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in ‘Under 2.5 goals’ due to both teams’ struggles to convert chances and Lazio’s tendency to keep matches tight.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 2.5 goals | 8/15 @ Bet365 (65.2%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Lazio average just 1 goal scored and 1 conceded per game, with 12 clean sheets in 26 matches. Torino have failed to score in their last match and only have 25 goals in 26 games. Both sides miss more big chances than they convert, so a low-scoring contest looks likely. |
| Draw | 2/1 @ Bet365 (33.3%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | These sides have drawn 7 of their last 18 meetings, including a 3-3 thriller earlier this season. Both are among Serie A’s draw specialists, with Lazio drawing 10 and Torino 6 so far. The teams’ similar attacking records and defensive approaches suggest another stalemate is well within range. |
Odds correct at the time of writing.

Season Form & Standings
Both teams find themselves in the middle third of the table, but Lazio have been the more consistent outfit – especially in defence. Torino’s recent slide (losing their last match 3-0) typifies their issues at the back, while Lazio remain hard to beat but draw too many games to challenge higher up.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lazio | 10 | 26 | 8 | 10 | 8 | 26 | 25 | +1 | 34 |
| Torino | 15 | 26 | 7 | 6 | 13 | 25 | 47 | -22 | 27 |
Potential Match-Winners
- Duván Zapata (Torino): The Colombian forward remains Torino’s most likely source of goals, with the team reliant on strikers for 48% of their tally. Zapata’s physical presence and ability to win aerial duels could trouble a Lazio backline that prefers to play out from the back.
- Mattia Zaccagni (Lazio): With Lazio’s goals spread across midfielders, Zaccagni’s movement between the lines and knack for providing assists (16 for the team collectively) make him one to watch, especially on the counter.
- Alessio Romagnoli (Lazio): The defender is key to Lazio’s strong record of 12 clean sheets, helping marshal a back line that’s conceded just 25 goals all season.
- Nikola Vlašić (Torino): The midfielder offers Torino creative spark and leads the team in key passes, often linking midfield to attack.
Head-to-Head: Last 5 Meetings
The past five meetings have seen Lazio claim the edge with three wins and, with the other two games ending in a draw, Torino are winless in recent encounters. Most recently, the teams shared six goals in a thrilling 3-3 draw in October.
| Date | Score | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| 04/10/25 | Lazio 3-3 Torino | Serie A |
| 31/03/25 | Lazio 1-1 Torino | Serie A |
| 29/09/24 | Torino 2-3 Lazio | Serie A |
| 22/02/24 | Torino 0-2 Lazio | Serie A |
| 27/09/23 | Lazio 2-0 Torino | Serie A |
Conclusion: Will Lazios Defence Hold Firm?
This match promises to be a tactical chess match rather than a goal fest, with Lazio’s defensive discipline and ball retention up against Torino’s direct style and reliance on set pieces. With both sides struggling to convert big chances, our top tip is Under 2.5 goals at 8/15 (65.2%) with Bet365 – a strong value given these teams’ recent records and struggles in front of goal.
