Lazio always try to play well but they have never been lucky enough to win the championship. they may be in the Top 10 in the points table often but the trophy is not possible for them. Bologna is not a potential team. Lazio's players are very aggressive so they commit a lot of fouls. In yesterday's match, where Mario Gila was cautioned once with a yellow card, he again committed a major foul, which resulted in him being red carded and will not play in the next matches.
However, Lazio still won at the end of the match because that was what the Lazio team expected even though one of their players had to get a red card and could not play in the next match. Currently, Lazio and Roma are actually trying to play as well as possible in order to get a better position because the top five positions in the standings are still quite possible for them to hope for this season. Although both of them must be able to always win and hope that Bologna can lose consecutively in the upcoming matches.
In fact, if we look at the statistics, Torino has better statistics and they have a greater goal expectation than Lazio. But indeed anything is possible when a team doesn't give up and Lazio proved that even though they didn't have much of an advantage because they played with 10 people, they actually took the lead with the 2 goals they scored first. So Lazio just had to defend with their existing lead and they did their job well.
The competition with Roma will be the next headline because a narrow difference of 1 point makes almost no difference and one failure will change the standings between these two clubs. I think now Lazio just has to be able to make a difference with the quality they have and we know they could finish in 4th place in the standings last season. The season will be increasingly unpredictable and both Roma, Lazio, Bologna and Atalanta will be fighting for a crucial place in the champions league.
Sometimes a home game can be a very influential advantage but unfortunately Torino didn't take advantage of that opportunity well, but yes, as you said, the possibility could still happen because of the fact that Lazio has played very well in the last two matches and was even able to beat Bayern Munich previously so it's only natural that Lazio was able to beat Torino in the match even though they were away from home, in fact Torino itself took more shots than Lazio, none of which were scored as goals, so it could be said that Lazio's defense in this match was indeed strong even though they had to play with ten players.
To compete for the top four positions, several teams still have a big chance of occupying it because having a draw or losing just once can change the standings. If one of the teams is able to maintain its consistency then it can occupy the Champions League zone, but if it is still not consistent then it is not certain who will be occupy it.
