Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is provided.
Torino
Paolo Vanoli's side shared the spoils with Monza at home in the last round (1-1). As a result, Torino failed to secure a win for the seventh time in their last eight league matches (1 draw, 6 losses). Additionally, the team scored only their second goal in the last five Serie A fixtures. In the standings, the club has 15 points and sits in 11th place.
Defender Perr Schuurs and forward Duván Zapata will miss the game due to injuries.
- The club has not lost in 10 of their last 12 home matches in Serie A (4 wins, 6 draws).
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 12 of Torino's last 16 home league fixtures.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 12 of Torino's last 15 home Serie A matches.
Napoli
In the previous round, Antonio Conte's side overcame Roma at home (1-0). As a result, Napoli secured their first victory in three Serie A matches (1 draw, 1 loss). Furthermore, the club has kept a clean sheet for the eighth time this season and has conceded fewer goals (9) than any team except Juventus (7). Napoli has accumulated 29 points and remains at the top of the league table.
Defender Pasquale Mazzocchi will miss the game due to injury.
- The team has not lost in 7 of their last 8 away Serie A matches (3 wins, 4 draws).
- No more than two goals have been scored in the club's last four away league games.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in 5 of Napoli's last 6 away Serie A matches.
Torino vs. Napoli: Match Prediction
At home, Torino tends to play defensively, focusing on avoiding mistakes at the back. Their home matches are not high-scoring affairs: in 10 of their last 13 home Serie A fixtures, Torino has not scored more than one goal, while conceding a maximum of one goal in 11 of their last 12 home league games.
Napoli's recent attacking displays have also been underwhelming: in their last 18 away Serie A encounters, Napoli scored more than once only five times. However, the team concedes few goals: in 12 of their last 15 away league matches, they have not conceded more than one goal, keeping four clean sheets in their last five games.
I do not anticipate many goals in this match, so I expect a low-scoring encounter. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
