Torino – Napoli

Should we expect the teams to produce a high-scoring encounter?

With a more than convincing 6-1 victory over Sassuolo, Napoli are guaranteed a place in the Champions League. However, a string of defeats (and the Neapolitans had previously failed to win in three rounds) has made the side lose their chances of winning the league title. With three games to go, Luciano Spalletti's side are seven points behind the leader and five points adrift of second place. In the remaining encounters, Napoli will play against Genoa and La Spezia. A fight with Juventus for third obviously doesn't make a huge amount of sense. Torino are in tenth place and have 47 points under their belt. "The Bulls are unlikely to move up in the standings, and could drop just a line or two. Ivan Djuric's side, though, have a decent streak. For example, the Turin side have not lost in six games, winning half of them. It is important to note that the team have shared points with their rivals from the top flight (Milan, Lazio and Atalanta) on three occasions. Torino have conceded in four meetings (and in the match against Bergamas they did so four times), but the hallmark of the team this season is their solid defensive play. Thus, the Bulls have conceded just 37 goals so far. At the same time, the team are not particularly active offensively (45 goals scored). Juric's charges also play quite well against the leaders. Yes, Torino don't always take points from top-flight opponents, but if they do, they lose by a score of 1-0. The same result on the scoreboard was recorded in the match between the rivals in the first round. It should also be noted that the proposed bet has not lost during the six consecutive face-to-face meetings between the clubs. It is unlikely that the teams are hugely motivated for this game. Torino, probably, will not allow the Neapolitans to get too excited. We shouldn't expect goals galore in this encounter.
