Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
Torino
Torino do not have an unusual list of absentees against Napoli, as long-term injured stars Perr Schurs and Duvan Zapata are out of action alongside Ivan Ilic. Paolo Vanoli is expected to name his strongest eleven with the players he has at his disposal, meaning a back three will be onder against Napoli.
Sebastian Walukiewicz should feature on the right side of the back three, with Saul Coco and Adam Masina lining up alongside him. Marcus Pedersen and Valentino Lazaro should be the wing-back options.
Karol Linetty is the preferred choice at the base of Torino’s midfield, with Nikola Vlasic and Gvidas Gineitis on either side. Scottish striker Che Adams should lead the line for Vanoli’s team alongside Antonio Sanabria.
Napoli
Napoli have probably one of the least problems when it comes to player fitness, as only Pasquale Mazzocchi is absent ahead of this trip to Turin. This clash will also be a return for Alessandro Buingiorno to his old stomping grounds, although this time, their fans will not be cheering his name by any means.
The Italy defender will have Amir Rrahmani by his side in the backline. Giovanni Di Lorenzo will stay at right-back, while Mathias Olivera will start on the left. Scott McTominay has become a key part of Conte’s midfield plans, while Billy Gilmour and Stanislav Lobotka are being considered, as the manager might prefer the latter for this clash.
Romelu Lukaku will continue to lead the line for Napoli against Torino, and he will want to maintain his recent good form and help the club stay top of the Serie A standings. Matteo Politano and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will complete the front three for Conte’s side, and the manager will hope there are more goals this time around.
Torino possible starting lineup:
Milinkovic-Savic; Walukiewicz, Coco, Masina; Pedersen, Vlasic, Ricci, Gineitis, Lazaro; Adams, Sanabria
Napoli possible starting lineup:
Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Lukaku, Kvaratskhelia

Prediciton: Torino 0-1 Napoli
Torino and Napoli have both recorded four victories by a one-goal margin this season - only Lazio had more after 13 Serie A matches - so it could be a closely fought contest. As the away side are proving so difficult to beat - and Toro have slumped badly since the end of September - expect Conte and co to leave Turin with maximum points.
