Torino take on the visitors Lecce in the round 5 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, September 5th at Stadio Olimpico di Torino (Turin).
Torino last season closed the top 10 of the final table of Serie A. Not the highest results, but at the same time clear progress, against the background of the 17th position in 2020/2021. And he was provided with Ivan Yurich, who has been working in Turin for just a year. Of course, the Croatian wants to improve with his wards further. But he was seriously pissed off over the summer by how easily important players were let go, from Bremer and Ansaldi to Thomas Rincon and Belotti. As a result, they gradually recruited new players, including Miranchuk and Vlašić. Both have already been able to show themselves well, scoring goals. But so far, it turns out that “Torino” is brisk enough to score points. By the way, playing worthily with the giants, Lecce and Atalanta, Yurich's team won, albeit 2-1 each, on the field of the newcomers of the division - first against Monza, and then against Cremonese.

Lecce quite often show good football in Serie B. But it’s another matter that, as a rule, it’s impossible to gain a foothold in Calcio. In 2019, it turned out to return to the Italian football elite again, and they went there in transit, giving out 2 rises in a row in 2 years. Over the summer, a lot of interesting and strong players appeared, albeit not at the peak of their careers: Bistrovic, Cisse, Pongrachich, Colombo, Frabotta, Mert Çetin and even Umtiti. But so far, the points have been scraped together with difficulty. With “Inter” they conceded the decisive goal almost in the last attack of the giant, they did not respond to the only goal of “Sassuolo”. But already with “Empoli” at home it turned out at least to catch on for a draw. And then, on Wednesday, there was a sensation. The newcomer was able to repeat the score 1-1, but already on the Napoli field. Moreover, “Lecce” conceded first, but managed to quickly answer, and a full hour of playing time kept their gates, fighting off all the attacks of Spalletti's wards.
When Lecce visited Serie A in the 2019/2020 season, they managed to win against Torino, and in both matches. Moreover, last year, already in the cup, he gave out 1-1 in regular time. And only due to Verdi's double, the “pomegranate” were able to put the squeeze on an outsider in extra time. “Torino” in this fight should get a good result. And it is unlikely that “Lecce” after the feat in Naples will be able to survive in Turin.
Prediction for the match: Torino to win.
