Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Napoli and Torino go head to head at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in what is expected to be an interesting Serie A game. The Neapolitans made a flying start to the season, with the team leading the chase for Scudetto ahead of Matchday 8. Following a 2-1 win over Milan before the international break, the league leaders aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but they will have to prove their worth on the field.
Both Matteo Politano and Victor Osimhen are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Il Toro, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Inter and Sassuolo in the previous two league fixtures, and seeing that Napoli have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we are tempted to put our money on Luciano Spalletti’s charges. All Pietro Pellegri, Mergim Vojvoda, Samuele Ricci, and Alexey Miranchuk should miss out through injuries for the visiting side.
