(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 15 – Winning to remain attached to the dream of Europe. This is the goal of Lazio, which will host Torino at the Olimpico tomorrow evening. Maurizio Sarri’s team is on the hunt for the third victory in a row, a streak that has been missing since April 2021: the home win would be essential to keep Fiorentina and Atalanta away from sixth place (placed respectively 2 and 4 points below the Capitoline, but both with a race to recover). By beating the grenades, Lazio would temporarily overtake Roma as well, waiting for the big match of the Giallorossi against Napoli scheduled for Monday 18 April. The precedents against the team coached by Ivan Juric come to the eagles, who have not lost against Turin since the 2018-2019 season.

Training chapter: Pedro underwent checks at the Paideia clinic to assess the strain in his right calf that kept him away from Formello for the past three days. There is a risk that the Spanish winger will not even be able to go to the bench. If so, he would be the only one missing from a totally complete squad. Sarri – who did not hold the pre-match press conference today – will focus on Felipe Anderson: the Brazilian, who turns 29 today, has his favorite victim in the Piedmontese with 5 goals scored.

Meanwhile, the king of the biancoceleste attack, Ciro Immobile, hopes “to celebrate Easter in advance, perhaps with a victory”: these were his words at the Olimpico this morning, when Lazio donated Easter eggs to the delegations of children of the So. Spe. of Sister Paola and of the Family Home of Santa Marta. For the captain, the match against Torino is not just any match: in 2013-2014 he graduated as top scorer in Serie A with 22 goals with the grenade shirt on. This year he is already at 24 goals, first ahead of Vlahovic. (HANDLE).
