Torino vs Napoli Prediction & Betting tips
Napoli has a changeable start and disappointed the weak brother from the group in the Champions League. This weekend the team will visit Torino, where it won five times in a row in 2016 and 2017. In May of this year, the series came to an end, when Torino was able to win from a point (2-2).
Torino:
Torino spent no fewer than 48 million this summer on six purchases, of which three players were already rented last season and so were already used to the club. On the other hand there was only one outgoing player, Antonio Barreca who played only nine games last year. With these investments, it was expected that Torino would have to be able to go back to eight to ten places and so far it meets that expectation.
In the opening duel it held out nicely against AS Roma, but had to cash in the last minute 0-1. Hereafter, a home win over SPAL (1-0) and draws was played at Inter (2-2) and Udinese (1-1). In that match against Udinese, Torino started weak and did not get a chance in the first half. After just eighteen minutes Iago Falque fell out with an injury and last-minute purchase Simone Zaza replaced him, moments later the 1-0 fell to Udinese after a nice check-up and completion of De Paul. After these two setbacks, Torino recovered well and Meite scored the equalizer right after the break, a great shot in the cross. In the second half Torino was many times stronger, but goals were no longer there and so it stayed at 1-1. It is striking that Torino always comes strong out of the locker room, against Inter it made a 2-0 deficit after halftime, against SPAL it scored the winning in the second half and also against Udinese it is in the second half many times stronger and makes it’s the 1-1.
Napoli:
Napoli went down a lot on Sampdoria two weeks ago. Defrel was very sharp and scored two goals in the first half, while Quagliarella with a beautiful goal with the heel determined the final score at 3-0. As a result of this suit on the trousers coach Carlo Ancelotti opted for a different set-up, he changed the team in five places against Fiorentina. Goalkeeper Karnezis did well in the opening game and again got the chance at the expense of Ospina, even Hamsik and Mertens were finally allowed to count on a starting place.
It only seemed a matter of time before Dries Mertens was allowed to start again in the starting line, with every game this season we saw that his team started to play better. For example, after his intervention against AC Milan, a 1-2 deficit was reversed into a 3-2 victory, partly due to his winning goal. Against Fiorentina, however, he was quite invisible, Napoli was not very strong in the first half. In the second half, Arek Milik entered the team and Napoli got a chance, while Fiorentina did not have any attacks. Still, it would take until the 79th minute before the decisive 1-0 fell, Insigne scored from the turn after a ball from Milik. It is striking that Napoli plays a lot better every time in the second half than the first half.
On Tuesday, Napoli also played in the Champions League against Red Star Belgrade. In this game, Milik started again in the base instead of Mertens and Napoli had a field over the entire race and more chances, but did not score. Seen Paris Saint Germain and Liverpool in this heavy group, a victory against the team from pot D is almost a must, but the Neapolitans did not go beyond 0-0.
