After their trips to Florence and Hamburg, a third away fixture awaits Lazio in the space of a week, this time against the Serie A shock leaders Torino.
The Biancocelesti will be looking to build on the momentum they gained in Europe to improve their league status, while the Granata are gunning for a positive result that extends their sensational start of the season.
The Serie A clash between Torino and Lazio kicks off at 12:30 local time on Sunday 29th September at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Turin.

Torino have stunned the world by placing themselves on top of the Serie A table after five rounds. The Granata started their campaign by coming close to beating Milan at San Siro before settling for a draw. Then they managed to win three of their last four, including an impressive victory over Atalanta.
Therefore, Paolo Vanoli couldn’t have asked for a better start to his maiden Serie A experience. Nevertheless, most fans and observers agree that the Granata’s time at the summit will be limited, so it remains to be seen if Lazio will be the one to knock them off their perch.
Following last weekend’s controversial defeat in Florence, Lazio restored confidence with a 3-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv in Hamburg on the opening day of the Europa League. The Biancocelesti currently sit 8th in the Serie A standings with seven points. Hence, they must now muster a positive run on the domestic field while the gap between them and those ahead remains razor-tight.
Marco Baroni decided to rotate his lineup by making eight changes between Florence and Hamburg. And while he’s expected to do likewise for the Torino clash, it remains to be seen if those who delivered the goods in Europe – like Pedro and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru – will maintain their spots in the lineup.
Torino (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savić; Walukiewicz, Maripán, Masina; Lazaro, Ricci, Ilić, Tameze, Sosa; Sanabria, Zapata
Lazio (4-2-3-1): Provedel; Lazzari, Gila, Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares; Guendouzi, Rovella; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni; Castellanos
