Lazio host Torino in Serie A on Wednesday. Lazio are hoping their win at Fiorentina will be followed up by another victory over a European rival on Wednesday. Torino head to the capital having been knocked out of the Europa League in August, while the visitors are four points shy of Lazio. Can they close that gap here? Lazio are starting to gain ground in the fight for the top four, following a four-game unbeaten run in the league. The hosts have impressed at home so far this term, without defeat in their first four home games of the season. Can they extend that run here? The visitors have won just three of their nine games so far, harming their bid to make it into the Europa League. The visitors have had their troubles on the road this season, with three straight losses on the spin in Serie A. They have slumped behind the likes of Parma, Cagliari and Bologna as a result, with just one victory in their last seven league matches. The away side have also had major defensive issues holding them back, with a lack of clean sheets haunting them since late last term. Torino have conceded in 12 of their last 13 Serie A games, keeping a clean sheet only against Napoli (20 goals in total conceded during this period, 1.5 per match on average). On the road this season, Torino have shipped 1.75 goals per game. They are going up against a Lazio side who are in fine scoring form, with the hosts scoring at least twice in four consecutive home games, hitting 11 goals in the process. Overall in the league, the hosts have hit 18 goals in nine matches.
