Lazio — Torino : Match Preview and Prediction for October 04,2025

Lazio’s Current Form and Challenges

Lazio, under Baroni last season, ultimately failed to qualify for European competitions, finishing 7th and collapsing in the season’s closing stages. As a result, Maurizio Sarri returned to Rome after just a year, but the experienced manager is facing a very difficult start to his tenure. The “Biancocelesti” are once again grappling with significant squad absences under his leadership, having lost three of their initial five Serie A fixtures. Mercifully, before their home match against a defensively resolute Torino, the hosts managed a dominant 3-0 away victory against Genoa in Genoa, fueled by the efforts of their most effective forwards – Castellanos and Zaccagni. Unfortunately, this brief positive performance contrasts with the Roman side’s generally unimpressive play so far. Therefore, against Torino, the tifosi are eager for the hosts to deliver another pleasing performance at home in this encounter.

Lazio’s Injury Woes Ahead of Torino Clash

For the upcoming game against Torino, Lazio will be without Gigot, Marusic, Rovella, Dele-Bashiru, and the suspended Guendouzi. Additionally, Vecino, Lazzari, and Pellegrini are currently doubtful. These substantial losses severely impact the team’s potential in a negative way, posing a considerable challenge for Sarri’s side.

Torino’s Mixed Results and Coaching Impact

The week for Marco Baroni’s team has been a mixed bag. While the Turin side suffered their second consecutive league defeat this Monday in Parma (1-2) in a closely contested match, they had previously advanced in the Coppa Italia by overcoming stubborn Pisa (1-0).

Baroni’s Principled Return and Torino’s Squad Issues

The former Lazio manager has found a new home in Turin, though his team is still adapting under his fresh leadership after a season with Paolo Vanoli. They currently sit 15th in Serie A with a dismal goal difference of 2-10 after 5 rounds. Nevertheless, the game against Lazio will be extremely personal for Baroni following his dismissal from there. The visitors will be missing Schuurs, Sazonov, Ismajli, and Savva, while Angiorin remains questionable.
