Napoli vs Torino prediction 08.03.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Friday, 8th March 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)

Napoli experienced an exceptional last season, securing their third Scudetto in an impressive manner. Unfortunately, the exit of their coach, Luciano Spalletti, dramatically altered their trajectory, and they did not replicate their previous season’s success. Currently, they sit in 7th place in Serie A, 29 points behind the top-ranked Inter. To their credit, Napoli’s performance was not as dismal as the standings suggest, but the results did not meet expectations. However, with two back-to-back decisive victories against Sassuolo and Juventus, there are positive signs. In the Champions League, Napoli is performing well and is set to face Barcelona in the second leg of the 1/8 Finals, following a 1:1 draw in Italy and a game against Torino.

This is Torino’s 12th season in Serie A, predominantly as a mid-table team. They are currently positioned 10th with 37 points after 27 rounds, suggesting another mid-table finish. Despite this, it appears they will be unable to secure a European spot again this year, as they are nine points behind 6th-placed Atalanta and six points behind 7th-placed Napoli.

Napoli vs Torino pick: Napoli to win

Napoli’s current standing does not accurately reflect their abilities. We have faith in their potential to achieve more. Their outstanding performance in the last two games, where they dominated Sassuolo with a 6:1 victory and defeated Juve 2:1, is a testament to their capabilities. We are confident that they will maintain their good results. Since there is a four-day gap between their matches with Torino and Barcelona, we do not anticipate any squad rotations.

In the last six games, Torino only managed a single victory. This win was against Lecce, who have not been performing well in their recent matches. Furthermore, Torino’s performance on the road has been markedly inferior to their home games, with just 35% of their points earned in away games.

In their last head-to-head (h2h) match, Torino triumphed with a 3:0 scoreline. However, this was their sole victory in their past 17 h2h encounters. Given the significant disparity in performance, we are confident that Napoli will clinify a win and take all three points at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
