-----------------------------------

Napoli is welcoming Torino to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in round 14 in the Italian Serie A.

 

Napoli is a good team that can beat anyone, but they have lost their last 2 games in a row, and they are inconsistent. During this 2-game streak, Napoli has conceded 3 goals while scoring 0 goals. Napoli is in third place in the standings with 24 points, 26 scored goals, and 11 conceded goals which makes them the best defensive team in Serie A so far this season. Lozano is the leading goalscorer for Napoli with 6 goals, while Insigne and Mertens added 4 goals each. Mertens has also added 6 assists. Osimhen, Mertens, and Lozano are all injured, while Koulibaly is still questionable for this game. In their last game against Lazio on the road, Napoli was the dominant team with 61% of ball possession, 6 shots on goal, 9 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 87% of the correct passes. Despite being the better team here, Napoli wasn’t playing well on the defensive end, and they lost this game 2-0. Napoli is still high on the table, but they better get back on the winning track soon if they want to stay there.

 

Torino is one of the worst teams in Serie A this season, and they have won only 1 of their last 8 games, while not winning any of their last 5 games. During this 5-game stretch, Torino has scored 7 goals while conceding 11 goals. In their most recent Serie A game, Torino was hosting Bologna, and they have had 51% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 80% of the correct passes. It was a tough game for both teams, but Torino got ahead in the 69th minute. In the 78th minute, Torino conceded a goal, and this game ended in a 1-1 daw. With only 7 points, 21 scored goals, and 31 conceded goals, Torino is in 19th place, which is in the relegation zone. Belotti has scored 9 goals and added 2 assists for Torino so far this season, while Lukic has added 3 goals. Millico, Bonazzoli, Ansaldi, and Lynaco are all injured for Torino. The biggest problem for Torino is that when Belotti is not in good form, neither is Torino. There is still a lot of time left for Torino to get back on track, but they need to make a coaching change, and only then will Torino get out of the relegation zone.

 

Neither Napoli nor Torino is in good form, and both teams have a few important injuries, especially Napoli. Honestly, this game could go either way, which is why I will stick to goals here, which we should see plenty of.

 

Pick: Both teams to score and over 2.5
