Torino vs Lecce Prediction and Betting Tips | September 15th 2024

Torino will invite Lecce to Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their league campaign, winning two of their three games. The Lupi have suffered two losses and registered a win in the league thus far.

Toro made it two wins on the spin in their previous outing as Saúl Coco's 86th-minute header, assisted by fellow defender Adam Masina, helped them register a 1-0 away win. They are in third place in the league standings with seven points, the same as league leaders and defending champions Inter Milan.

The visitors had suffered back-to-back losses in their first two league games of the season but bounced back with a 1-0 win over Cagliari last time around. Nikola Krstović scored the game's only goal in the 26th minute. Patrick Dorgu was sent off late in the first half but the Lupi managed to hold on to their narrow lead.

The Lupi have won two of their last 16 away meetings against the hosts in all competitions while suffering 11 defeats.
The visitors have the joint-worst goalscoring record and the joint-worst defensive record in the league after three games, scoring just one goal while conceding six times.
The last four league meetings between the two teams have produced under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, the preceding four games had produced over 2.5 goals each.

Torino vs Lecce Prediction

Toro were held to a draw in their campaign opener but bounced back well, recording two wins. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games in the league and have suffered just one loss in their last 15 home games. They are on a five-game winning streak against the visitors and are strong favorites.

Nikola Vlasic remains sidelined with an injury for head coach Paolo Vanoli while Perr Schuurs is a long-term absentee. A similar starting XI from their win over Venezia is expected to be field in this match.

The Salentini scored their first goal of the season before the international break and will look to continue their goalscoring run here. They have just one win in their last five away games in Serie A, failing to score in three, and will look to improve upon that record.

Patrick Dorgu is suspended for this match while Mohamed Kaba and Nicola Sansone are sidelined with injuries. Lameck Banda was injured in Zambia's win over Sierra Leone earlier this week and faces a late fitness test.

Considering the current form of the two teams and home advantage for Torino, we back Toro to eke out a narrow win.
