A rather good start to Torino’s season can be countered by a lacklustre one for Lecce, even though they managed to secure a vital win before the international break. But both might worry that this pause could hinder their momentum and we will see if there is any cause for such concerns on Sunday.
Torino Team News
Not many could have speculated that Torino would find themselves 3rd after matchday three. With two wins and a draw, Il Toro has 7 points with things looking good thus far. Most importantly, the team did not lose to heavyweights Milan and snatched a victory over Atalanta. Generally, Torino’s home form is quite good and they gather the vast majority of their points from such games. If we are to look for their last home defeat we will see that it came in February against Lazio. From then on Torino has not tasted defeat at home and this record has so far continued into the new season as well.
Lecce Team News
Despite back-to-back losses at the start of the campaign, Lecce managed to win on matchday three. The points won will surely have alleviated some of the pressure upon the team, but at the same time could have hampered their momentum. But despite the win, away games are still the Achilles heel of the team. Even from last season, Lecce’s away form was not great by any means. Yet, their most recent 7 away league fixtures have featured just 2 losses for the team and they both came to Milan’s giants. While such a record does span from last season to this one, away games will very likely be the place where Lecce will crumble again.
Head-to-Head-Games
Looking at the last 5 competitive games between Torino and Lecce we will see 4 wins for Il Toro and a draw. Their most recent 4 fixtures have all resulted in wins to nil for Torino. None of the last 5 games featured many goals either, as all had under 2.5 goals in them.

Torino – Lecce Betting Prediction
I expect Torino to snatch a victory here. They are quite good at home, while Lecce’s issues come from away games. Torino also looks like the team is in a much better condition as well. However, I do not expect many goals here, as recent head-to-head matches have been goal-shy and generally Torino’s home fixtures follow that pattern as well.
