Napoli vs Torino Prediction & Match Preview

• Napoli notched eight goals in the last two league wins over Sassuolo and Juventus.
• Torino come into this off the back of two defeats and a draw in the previous three league fixtures.
• Victor Osimhen bagged five goals in the previous four matches across competitions.

Napoli will be looking for their third subsequent league win on Friday evening. They host top-half rivals Torino in the first match of Gameweek No 28 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

I Partinopei come into the tie on the back of a 2-1 win over Juventus in the last round’s derby. Francesco Calzona’s men produced another strong showing, dominating the pitch throughout most of the last weekend’s affair. Substitute Giacomo Raspadori found the late winner, minutes away from Victor Osimhen’s missed penalty.

Napoli still have an uphill battle to join the top-four race. They climbed to seventh place in the Serie A table. Fourth-placed Bologna are eight points away at the moment. Napoli are certainly the form favourites here against Torino who have been struggling for results of late.

Il Toro picked up just one point from the previous three league fixtures. They failed to do much in the final third in a goalless draw to Fiorentina six days ago. It was a nervous game in which first-half substitute Samuele Ricci got sent off just before the half-time. Torino are 10th in the league standings, sitting six points behind Friday’s counterparts.

Only one of the previous six head-to-head affairs between these rivals provided goals at both ends.

Napoli vs Torino Prediction

Napoli come into this in the highest of spirits after bagging eight goals in successive Serie A wins. They showed form and strength in the 2-1 win over second-placed Juventus last weekend. Torino will head to Naples off the back of two defeats and a draw in the last three league fixtures. They have not had much luck in the history of the clashes in Naples, winning just once in the previous 19 visits. The home win pick has to be the way to go at the odds of 1.90.

Victor Osimhen missed a penalty last weekend against Juventus. The Nigerian forward had previously scored five goals in three outings across competitions. The run includes a hat-trick in Reggio nell’Emilia where Napoli demolished Sassuolo 6-1 two weeks ago. We expect another dominant performance from I Partinopei on Friday. In these circumstances, the value is strong with their top scorer Osimhen to score anytime at the 2.25 odds.
