Torino vs Lazio Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals

Five games into the new Serie A season, Torino come into Sunday's lunch-time kick-off as surprising leaders of the division. Unbeaten with 11 points on the board, Paulo Vanoli´s side secured their unlikely spot at the top of the league with a 3:2 win at Verona last weekend. 

At the Stadio Olimpico Grande, Torino are a difficult side to beat, with only one defeat suffered in their last 16 home Serie A matches. However, that defeat did come against their opponents on Sunday. 

High-scoring outcomes have not proven overly frequent for Il Toro this year, particularly in home matches. Torino have seen under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 11 Serie A games at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Remarkably, six of those games finished with the same 0:0 scoreline.

Recent meetings against Lazio also proved low-scoring affairs. Each of the last seven encounters between these sides saw under 2.5 goals scored. Four of those seven games finished as draws including two 0:0 outcomes.

While Lazio´s goal numbers are a little less convincing - Lazio have seen under 2.5 goals in three of their last six away matches - Torino´s strong defence suggests we are likely to see another low-scoring encounter this weekend. It is worth noting that the Biancocelesti have seen BTTS in their last seven matches. 

A tricky tie to call with much confidence, Torino are in good form but a midweek Coppa Italia loss to Empoli makes it difficult to back the hosts this weekend. 

Ultimately, a tight outcome seems the likeliest, so I'll put my money on under 2.5 goals scored at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
