Our prediction for this Serie A match:
High-flying Torino will look to keep their 100% record in the 2021/2022 Serie A campaign intact when they host Torino to their Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Matchday 8. The Neapolitans made a flying start to the season, and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash. Hirving Lozano should be rested after representing Mexico in the World Cup qualifiers on Thursday, while all Ounas, Malcuit, and Lobotka are sidelined with injuries.
Il Toro, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Turin derby defeat, but given Napoli’s current form, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. All Pjaca, Praet, and Verdi are out of contention with injuries, while Pobega is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting in the Serie A Napoli defeated Torino 2-0.
