Torino vs Napoli Preview
Torino
Torino will have one of the biggest tasks of their ongoing Serie A campaign when they clash against Napoli at home. The hosts have only won two matches against their visitors in the past, and this statistic might come back to haunt them in this game as well.
Torino is currently ranked 11th in the Serie A table with 15 points, but their recent performances do not give their supporters much confidence about their prospects. They have lost three out of the five matches they last played, with only one win.

Manager Paolo Vanoli, who trusts a 3-5-2 formation, will want to make sure that his wingbacks are on the same page as his other defenders so that Napoli’s attackers are not given space on the counter.
The highly-rated Samuele Ricci, who holds forth in the centre of the park for Torino, will have a vital role to play in this game with regards to keeping and distributing the ball.
Napoli
Napoli are flying high at the moment as they are the leaders of the Serie A table with 29 points inside their kitty. Although Atalanta are close in pursuit with 28 points of their own, Antonio Conte’s side knows how to stay in front when put under pressure and they will be keen on increasing their lead with a stupendous win in this game against Torino.

The former Chelsea manager prefers to play his team in a 4-3-3 formation, with another former Chelsea player Romelu Lukaku leading the ranks up front. The Belgian centre-forward, who has also played for Everton and Manchester United in England, has already bagged 5 goals and four assists in the Serie A this season.
His former Manchester United teammate Scott McTominay has also chipped in with two goals in midfield.
Napoli like to pass the ball around and build rhythm through short passes. They will hope to keep possession for major parts of this game while trying to dismantle the Torino defence on Sunday.
Bet hereTorino vs Napoli Prediction
- Pick: Napoli to win
- Odds: 1.83 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Torino 0-2 Napoli
Napoli have a massive advantage in this game against Torino, and we expect them to win it quite comfortably. The home team’s defence does not appear to be in the best of conditions, and it is not expected to withstand the shock that Napoli’s attackers are bound to give it.
Torino will also be disadvantaged owing to injuries to Duvan Zapata and Perr Schuurs; this makes Napoli the big favourites to win this match.

The visiting side have won three out of the last five matches against Torino, and will carry a historical advantage over them.
The visitors also have the prolific striker Lukaku, who is dangerous inside the box and is often known to create havoc in one-on-one situations with opposition defenders.
Torino vs Napoli Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
- Odds: 1.38 (22Bet)
Napoli, as stated earlier, are known for their goalscoring prowess and will be hopeful of running riot against a weak Torino defence that has already conceded 19 goals in the Serie A this season.
However, it also needs to be remembered that Napoli have scored just five goals in their last five matches, which means that they have not been among the goals as much as they would hope to be.

Torino, on the other hand, have scored just two goals in their last five matches, and their chances of scoring in this one against Napoli are close to nil.
We will hope to see a total of over 1.5 goals given that the visiting side’s manager Conte likes to take the game deep and attack through the wings. Torino’s efficiency in preventing a free passage of play for Napoli will be interesting to see.
