    Torino are struggling for goals in Serie A. Il Toro scored a mere one goal across their last two Serie A matches. Will our algorithm predict Torino to score goals versus Lecce?

    Lecce will visit Torino at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday night. The Giallorossi are 13th in the standings. They took a mere four points from the last 18 points on offer in Serie A.

    Lecce are struggling for points and are just five points above the relegation zone.

    Torino are 10th in the standings. Six points separate Il Toro from the top five. The Turin-based club can still finish in the European places. However, Torino need to start winning games once more and scoring goals.

    Il Toro picked up nine points from the last six games in Serie A. They scored just six times in those six games. However, the defence played well, conceding only three goals to opponents.

    Ivan Juric’s team has been excellent at the Stadio Olimpico this season. Torino have a record of 5W-5D-1L at home, with 12 goals for and six against. Twelve of Torino’s 21 goals were scored by the team at home.

    Torino scored the third-fewest goals in Serie A after 24 matches. Their defence has kept them in the race for Europe, however.

    Lecce only took four points from their last six matches. They were outscored 13-5 across the last six games. The Giallorossi are one of three Serie A teams not to win a match on the road this season.

    The team has a record of 0W-5D-7L on the road this season. They were outscored 20-9 on the road. Twenty of the team’s 37 goals conceded have come away from home.

    Torino won their last three matches against Lecce in Serie A. They won all three games without conceding a goal.

    Striker Duvan Zapata leads Torino in goal scoring stats this season with six. The former Atalanta striker has struggled in front of goal this season. The next best goal scorer for Torino has just three goals.

    Like Torino, Lecce are struggling for goals. Their leading scorer is Nikola Krstovic. The Montenegrin has five goals this season.

    Our algorithm predicts a Torino win on Friday night at home. Thanks to Il Toro’s great home record, they should post a fourth straight victory over Lecce. Torino should find the goals, as they win 2-1 over Lecce. The win should put pressure on the other teams chasing Europe.
