Betting tips: Napoli x Torino
Check out our predictions of the day for Napoli vs. Torino
Prediction 1: Napoli x Torino / Napoli to win
Napoli has indeed relied on luck since Calzona took over. Still, the new manager is starting to produce results, so they can be confident heading into their match against Barcelona after a third consecutive win.
As their season stalls when their fans are beginning to get enthusiastic about a possible European push, Torino’s weak offense indicates they may struggle to pose much of a danger to this Napoli team.
Prediction 2: Napoli x Torino / Both teams to score
Recent results have disappointed Torino, who lost 2-0 to Lazio, played well at the Olimpico but were undone by Paulo Dybala’s genius, and were leading Fiorentina until Samuele Ricci’s red card. The Granata’s most significant issue is that they aren’t good at showing or getting things done. With eight goals scored so far this season, they should have been two spots higher in the standings and five goals up. Duvan Zapata has scored most of the team’s goals thanks to five assists from Raoul Bellanova. They will brace up in this game and hit the net again.
Prediction 3: Napoli x Torino / Over 2.25 goals
In the meantime, Torino have been rock-solid defensively; their scoreless draw with Fiorentina, despite playing with 10 men for the whole second half, is further evidence of this.
Despite creating opportunities, the visitors cannot score, yet they are tough to stop. When playing away from home, they have maintained four clean sheets—against Salernitana, Lecce, Frosinone, and Genoa—putting them in second place, behind leaders Inter (17).
In the last meeting, Torino cruised to a 3-0 victory over Napoli. Considering the Azzurri’s woeful home run (six losses across all competitions and 26 goals surrendered), the visitors may see Friday’s match as a chance to turn things around.
Besides being undefeated in six league home games, Napoli have scored in the final fifteen minutes five times in a row, except for a scoreless draw against Monza (in which the visitors missed a penalty).
More than two goals have only been scored in eight of Torino’s twenty-seven games, the worst record in Serie A at 30%. Thus, this Asian Line protects you: you would forfeit half of your money if there are just two goals.
