&lt;p&gt;Torino and Lecce face off at 15:00 CEST at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. The hosts, after a draw at San Siro against AC Milan on opening day, secured consecutive wins against Atalanta and Venezia and are now dreaming big. Lecce, with a slower start including losses to Atalanta and Inter, bounced back with a win over Cagliari before the break.&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;Only Fiorentina (63.6%) have recorded a higher shot accuracy than Torino (59.3%) this season. On the other hand, only Genoa (32.1%) and Cagliari (32.1%) have a lower percentage than Lecce (32.4%). In fact, despite the Giallorossi having attempted 16 more shots than the Granata (48 v 32) they have scored four fewer goals (1 v 5).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The last season Juventus and Torino had jointly occupied first place in the Serie A standings after the first three games played was 1979/80 (with Inter in that case and with Inter and Udinese instead this year).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino have won each of their last four Serie A games against Lecce without conceding a goal, after having won just one of their previous eight matches against them (D3 L4). The Granata have only managed to record more consecutive wins against a single opponent whilst keeping a clean sheet once in their history in the competition – against Brescia (six, between 1967 and 1970).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce have won only two of their 10 away games against Torino in Serie A (D2 L6), both by a scoreline of 2-1 (in January 2000 and September 2019), on two of the last four occasions in which they have played away to the Granata during the first half of the season of the top-flight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino have scored in 16 of their last 17 games against Lecce in the top-flight (26 goals in the process, an average of 1.5 per game) – the only exception being a 0-4 defeat by the Giallorossi in February 2020, with goals from Alessandro Deiola, Antonin Barak, Filippo Falco and Gianluca Lapadula.&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;Among the opponents he has faced 3+ times in Serie A, Lecce are the team against which Torino striker Duván Zapata has the best ratio between goal involvements and minutes played. He has been involved in an average of one goal every 50 minutes (six goals and one assist in 348 minutes).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each of the last three times Lecce have found the back of the net in Serie A, they have done so through Nikola Krstovic (including the final two goals last season) – the last player to score more consecutive goals for the Giallorossi in the competition was Mirko Vucinic, who scored four in December 2005 (goal against Roma, brace against Udinese and goal against Treviso).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ivan Ilic has scored in his last two home league games (including the last of 2023/24), no Torino midfielder has found the net in three consecutive home appearances in Serie A in the three points for a win era.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Dorgu (Lecce)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Colombo (Mastrodonato-Di Giainto) IV: Rutella; VAR: Guida; AVAR: Paganessi&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hellas Verona-Torino (Friday 20 September, 20:45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce-Parma (Saturday 21 September, 20:45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
