Lazio hosts Torino in round 25 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 18th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
The Eagles were one of the discoveries of the previous Italian championship. Even slowing down after the lockdown, Simone Inzaghi's charges were still able to maintain their positions in the quartet of the strongest and finally returned to the Champions League. However, the performances were not triumphant. In the group, the Eagles barely fought back in the home match against Brugge in the last round and retained their 2nd place. But then they lose both matches against Bayern Munich in the 1/8 finals. The density in the Serie A standings was very tight, and the Roman club was pushed out of the quartet of leaders. And it is already clear that the Eagles will not return there. The chances are only mathematical. But they will not fall below the top six, and a spot in the Europa League has already been locked up. However, this does not explain a 0-2 defeat to Roma in the derby last Saturday.

In terms of the level of players, the Bulls should be somewhere near Lazio. But in fact, the threat of being relegated remains relevant for ambitious Torino for several seasons in a row. Under the management of Davide Nicola, the Bulls still managed to step up and break out of the relegation zone. Of course, there were very painful defeats, such as 0-7 in the match against Milan on May 12. And it was followed by a 4-1 defeat to Spezia. By the way, there is an important nuance: in the last round, the Bulls will play against Benevento, which is not hopelessly lagging behind. In theory, Torino should save energy for this game against the competitor. What will the coaching staff decide? Which players will they choose for the upcoming game and who will be reserved for the 38th round?
Lazio won three head-to-head matches in a row. But it was not so easy for the Eagles with the Bulls. In November. Lazio was losing 2-1 and 3-2 in Turin (in the 87th minute), but the Eagles managed to gain three points, scoring in the 95th and 98th minutes. They have to make excuses for the defeat in the derby. And the arrival of Torino, which conceded 11 goals in the last two rounds, is an excellent reason for this. We bet on the home team to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win with -1.0 handicap
