"Last seen putting in a nightmare performance as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Genoa, Roberto D'Aversa's side have come free-falling down the Serie A standings and they are suddenly at the heart of a top-flight relegation scraps. Opening this weekend's fixtures holding just a three-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, Torino have recorded just a single win from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions."
"Sunday's hosts have gained a reputation for their glaring struggles on home soil. In fact, D'Aversa's men have lost four of their last five showdowns in Turin."
"As for the visitors, while Maurizio Sarri might still remain in the Stadio Olimpico dugout, the former Chelsea boss has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders. Putting in another toothless performance last time out as they had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at Cagliari, the Eagles are only just clinging onto their spot in the top-half of the Serie A standings."
Torino hosts Lazio on Sunday evening in a crucial Serie A match between two underperforming teams. Torino sits just three points above the relegation zone after a devastating 3-0 loss to Genoa, with only one win in their last seven matches. The hosts have particularly struggled at home, losing four of their last five Turin fixtures. Key absences include suspended midfielder Emirhan Ilkhan and injured forward Che Adams, though defender Adrian Ismajli and striker Duvan Zapata may return. Lazio, managed by Maurizio Sarri, faces mounting pressure after drawing 0-0 with Cagliari and barely maintaining their top-half position. Both teams desperately need a victory to improve their Serie A standings.
