Torino VS Lecce

Sitting four points above their visitors in Serie A's mid-table, both Torino and Lecce are desperate to snap their losing streaks ahead of the upcoming international break. Torino previously notched three straight wins before suffering two consecutive defeats, and are highly motivated to stop their recent slump to hold their position in the top half of the standings. Lecce are stuck in a worse rut, on a three-game losing streak where they conceded 9 goals in total across those matches. It is worth noting that none of their 10 Serie A outings this season have ended in a draw: their open, high-tempo playing style makes for high-scoring games, but leaves their already fragile defensive line constantly exposed. In terms of team availability, Torino wing-backs Berardi and Caciamani have returned to full training and are expected to make the starting lineup, though Mandragora, Fortini and Rodriguez remain sidelined. For Lecce, Coulibaly and Gaspar could make their comebacks, but Pierotti, Geubels, Ilic and multiple other first-team players are still unavailable, so their squad depth remains far from sufficient.
