Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 2-1 win over Juventus, Napoli will look to extend their winning run to three games when they take on Torino on Friday evening. The Partenopei have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Despite failing to convert a penalty against the Bianconeri, Victor Osimhen will continue leading the line for the hosts, while midfielder Jens Cajuste remains in the recovery room. Forward Cyril Ngonge is a major doubt.
Il Toro, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with 37 points on their account. As the visitors have little to play for in the season finale, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Champions League-chasing hosts. To make things even worse for the away side, Ivan Ilic suffered an injury at the weekend, while fellow midfielder Samuele Ricci serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
