Napoli – Torino. Editors’ prediction
Napoli look just fine this season. The team scored record high 22 goals in the Europa League and came through the group stage without a single defeat. In the domestic league, things are going quite well too. They are third in the table and continue to fight for the Scudetto with Inter, Fiorentina and Juventus.
Their statistics in the last 5 matches are as follows: 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat with +4 goal difference. The defence is like a fortress with average 0.7 conceded goals per game. At home these numbers are even better – 0.6.
Their attack demonstrates an enviable stability, scoring almost 2 goals per game (1.82). The good news for both the coaching staff and for the fans is the absence of injured players, and the only loss on the eve of the match with Torino is Jorginho’s suspension.
Torino does not meet the expectations of many Italian experts who predicted them a place that would allow to participate in the Europa League. Giampiero Ventura’s team are 13th in the table and the coveted 5th place already seems unfeasible.
They looked bad both at home and away. They are complete disaster in away games, getting only 3 points in the last 5 games outside home stadium. They concede a lot (1.25 goals per game), and the attack led by Daniele Baselli, Andrea Belotti and Fabio Quagliarella looks pretty mediocre (1.3 goals).
Conclusion: Napoli confidently beat such opponents this season, and this game should not be an exception. A great option will be -1 handicap for the home team. Napoli to score in both halves also looks like a good choice.
