The creaks that were heard in the Europa League in the two-legged match against the Czechs of Viktoria Plzen were a clear symptom, despite the qualification – very hard-won – that they brought home. Lazio arrived at the break very tired and then crashed and burned in the direct match against Bologna, being overwhelmed 5-0 by Vincenzo Italiano’s team. This defeat is somewhat similar to the even heavier one suffered in December against Inter at the Olimpico (0-6) and which, above all, caused the biancocelesti to slip to sixth place, overtaken by the felsinei.
Marco Baroni, the Lazio coach, hopes to find a revitalized team after the break for the national teams, even if the infirmary hasn’t emptied completely yet: against Torino, for example, the Argentinean center forward Castellanos will still be absent, and he won’t be available again before mid-April.
Lazio, however, are still in the running for two objectives: fourth place is still within reach – Bologna and Juventus have two and one point more respectively – but to avoid derailing and ruining what has been done so far, greater consistency will be needed in the last part of the season. With this in mind, the match against Torino is one not to be missed, although they seem to have changed pace in the last few days. Regenerated by new signings (Elmas and Casadei above all), Paolo Vanoli’s team has obtained three victories and a draw since mid-February, making a good leap in the standings. Too late to get back into the running for Europe but the granata, on 38 points, can realistically aim for tenth place, currently occupied by Udinese.
Lazio-Torino: the latest news on the line-ups
Three players out for Lazio due to injury: in addition to Castellanos, Ibrahimovic and Patric are also unavailable. Vecino will also be absent as he is suspended. Baroni is hoping that Nuno Tavares will be fit to play, but the Portuguese player has been training separately for the last few days. In defense, Lazzari and Marusic are competing for a place with Hysaj and Pellegrini, while up front it’s a toss-up between Noslin and Pedro.
Vanoli’s main doubts concern the defense, where Walukiewicz and Maripan must beat the competition of Pedersen and Masina. In attack Adams supported by Lazaro, Vlasic and Elmas, with Casadei and Ricci in midfield.

The prediction
The break can only have been good for Lazio but the Biancocelesti, who appeared to be running out of energy two weeks ago, will have to be careful against a Torino side that has done very well in their last few matches. After the reaction of the Capitolini after the collapse against Bologna – in the era of 3 points for a win, Lazio have only lost two of their 20 home games against the granata – it will be very difficult to keep a clean sheet against a team that in 2025 has only once failed to score.
