Napoli return from the international break looking to extend their winning momentum when they visit struggling Torino in Serie A on Saturday. The reigning champions have climbed back to the top of the table and are level on points with Roma. Meanwhile, Torino sit in 16th position after a stuttering start to the season.
Antonio Conte’s side showed their trademark resilience in the 2-1 comeback victory over Genoa before the break, following up their Champions League triumph over Sporting Lisbon. With Rasmus Højlund in strong form and Frank Anguissa and Kevin de Bruyne providing control in midfield, Napoli look to have rediscovered their rhythm after defeats to Manchester City and AC Milan in September.

The Azzurri boast a strong historical record against Torino, winning eight of their last ten meetings in Turin and conceding just once in their last six away games against the Granata. Conte will expect nothing less than three points to keep pace in the title race. For Torino, the signs remain worrying.
Marco Baroni’s men have recorded only one win in six league outings, with a leaky defence conceding 13 goals. While a thrilling 3-3 draw at Lazio showed flashes of attacking life, Torino’s inability to defend continues to hurt them. They’ve gone four consecutive home league matches without scoring and look short of confidence in front of their fans.
Both sides have been involved in high-scoring games lately. Napoli’s last four matches across all competitions have each produced at least three goals. Torino, meanwhile, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Lazio and have conceded 13 goals in six Serie A matches and have the worst defensive record in the league. With Napoli’s attacking efficiency and Torino’s defensive vulnerability, another eventful encounter looks likely.
Rasmus Hojlund looks like an intriguing anytime goalscorer pick. The Danish striker has been in fine form for Napoli this season, scoring twice in four league appearances. While he is still finding his rhythm in Conte’s system, his physicality and ability to exploit defensive gaps make him a constant threat in big matches. With Napoli expected to create multiple chances against Torino, Hojlund should get opportunities to add to his tally.

Given Napoli’s attacking depth, superior form and historical dominance in this fixture, the visitors are clear favourites. Torino’s grit might make it competitive early on, but Napoli’s quality should eventually tell in this match.
Final Prediction: Torino 1-2 Napoli
