Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Napoli to Win – 1.59
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 3 Goals – 1.60
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Napoli to Score the First Goal – 1.49
Napoli to Win
Napoli have won five of their seven games in Serie A since August and two of their three home fixtures giving them a 67% chance to win this game. Torino have lost their last two away games and are winless in Napoli in their last six visits.
Under 3 Goals
In the last five rounds, Napoli’s Serie A fixtures produced three or fewer goals which is 71% of their games. Also, Torino’s six of their seven league games ended with the same number of goals. Thus the probability of seeing under three goals in this matchup is over 70%.
Napoli to Score the First Goal
Playing at home, Napoli usually start strongly their matches as they opened the scoring in all three of their encounters at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Torino on the other side conceded first in two of their last four away games and went down first in the last three meetings with Napoli.

Napoli
Napoli find themselves where they were at this stage last season, at the top of the Serie A standings, However, the Azzurri lost the commanding lead they had last time around but look keen to go all the way this season. Spaletti’s team dropped four points from a possible 21 and will hope his team doesn’t lose so many points at home as they did last term.
The scare was there though in their match against Lecce at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as they were held to a stalemate by the Serie A newcomers. However, since then Spaletti’s men put on three splendid performances with the last one being the most significant beating champions Milan at the San Siro.
In order to correct the mistakes of last season, Spaletti needs to focus on stability in his team’s performances. That was the main reason for Napoli to lose the top spot that they maintained for over two months. In addition, Defensively, the Azzurri need to be more solid and not focus on offense as was the case in the previous campaign.
Torino
After their defeat at the hands of Sassuolo in the previous round, Torino extended their losing streak to two and have now gathered ten points from seven games which are two points better than they had last season at this stage. Despite taking the ninth position on the Serie A table, Il Toro’s offense need to improve their one goal per game average.
In the first three matches of the season, Torino picked up seven points and were undefeated. However, coach Ivan Juric saw his team’s form take a dip in the next four rounds winning one and losing three. As a result, Juric needs to find a way to get his team back on track with victories or at least come back from Napoli with a point.
Despite enjoying more ball possession in their last game with Sassuolo with 58%, Torino couldn’t manage to threaten their opponent’s goal more than three times. Obviously, the problem for coach Jurix lies in the fact that his team is not able to create enough scoring chances.
Despite losing many players in the summer transfer window, coach Luciano Spaletti proved that he doesn’t need big names in his team but players who can implement his tactics. And we saw that in almost all of Napoli’s seven games so far. With the morale being at its highest, we predict Napoli to continue their surge and pick the three points.
Playing at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, Napoli are averaging 2.00 goals per game. In four of their five previous games in all competitions, Napoli scored two or more goals. With odds of 1.67 at 22Bet, we will back Napoli to score over 1.5 goals and consider it as our safe bet option for this match.
Combining a Napoli win with under 2.5 goals at 22Bet returns your stake with odds of 3.98. To justify, the last four games between Napoli and Torino produced under 2.5 goals of which Napoli won the last three. Also, Napoli won their last game in at home by 1-0 and Torino lost their last away game by 0-1.
Giovanni Simeone joined Napoli this summer after a very successful 2021/22 season with Verona when he scored 17 goals in 35 games. With Victor Osimhen injured, Simeone stepped up and scored his first goal for Napoli in the last match guiding them to a crucial win over Milan. We predict Simeone to score anytime in this match.
