&lt;p&gt;Staying in the same spot: this will be Torino’s aim as they host Lazio after their elimination from the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa and attempt to remain unbeaten in the first six games of a Serie A season for the first time since 1992/93. If they win, they will also reach 14 points after six games for the first time in the era of three points for a win.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coming to Piedmont in search of a relaunch will be Lazio who will want three points to close down on the Toro in the table (currently +4) and be out on the hunt for European football.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 Serie A games against Torino (W5 D4), keeping clean sheets in the two most recent ones – the only win for the Granata in that period dates to 22 April 2023 (1-0 at Biancocelesti’s home); Lazio could record three clean sheets in a row against the Granata in the tournament for the first time since 1971-73.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio have not lost any of their last five away games against Torino in the league (W3 D2), already a record run for the Biancocelesti against the Granata away from home in Serie A, not conceding a goal in the two most recent games. Only between 2002 and 2008 have they kept three consecutive clean sheets away from home against the Granata in the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino had not been alone in first place in the Serie A standings at the end of the matchday since the 1976/77 season, after 17 games played (29 points, considering two points for a win) - in that case they finished the championship in second place (Juventus first).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino are unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 home league games (W8 D7), keeping 11 clean sheets, their only home defeat in that period coming against Lazio on 22 February (0-2). The Granata could also avoid defeat in nine consecutive home Serie A matches for the first time since December 2016 to April 2017.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lazio have lost both of their away games this season (1-2 against both Udinese and Fiorentina), the last time they lost in their first three away games in a Serie A season was in 1969/70.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the one hand, only Juventus (six) and Napoli (14) have conceded fewer shots on target than Lazio (16) in this Serie A, while only Venezia and Parma (both 28) have conceded more shots on target than Torino (27).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Duván Zapata`s last eight goals in Serie A have been header, only Giulio Migliaccio has scored nine consecutive headers (between 2009 and 2015) in the tournament since data has been available (since 2004/05).
