Napoli vs. Torino: Match Prediction
At home, Napoli plays with authority and rarely fails to score. In 16 home matches this season, Antonio Conte's side only failed to score against Atalanta and Lazio, and in nine games, Napoli scored at least twice. However, the team is not always reliable defensively, having kept only one clean sheet in their last six home Serie A games.
Torino, even on the road, tends to push forward and often finds success in attack. In 8 of their last 9 away league matches, Paolo Vanoli's side scored, netting twice in four of those games. However, in 7 of their last 8 away Serie A matches, Torino failed to keep a clean sheet, with their only "clean" game in this period being against Monza, who are at the bottom of the table.
I expect a high-scoring game from both teams and anticipate goals from each side in this encounter. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
