Torino vs Napoli Preview, Prediction, Possible Lineups & Bet Tips

Napoli will be looking to maintain their spot at the top of Serie A, as Antonio Conte’s side face Torino at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on October 18th and you can find a full preview, prediction, possible lineups and betting tips below.

Torino vs Napoli Preview

Antonio Conte will have mixed reviews over his sides’ performances so far this season, as despite sitting top of Serie A, Napoli have not been firing on all cylinders.

Gli Azzurri picked up three consecutive Serie A victories to kick-start their title defense, suffering two defeats from their next three matches across all competitions.

Napoli were swept aside by Manchester City in the Champions League, but managed to put it behind them in a 3-2 victory over Pisa – but were beaten by AC Milan in the following league fixture.

This defeat at San Siro highlighted how Napoli will face stiff competition for the Scudetto this season and dropping points could prove disastrous come the end of the campaign.

Conte’s men secured a 2-1 win over Genoa to move top of Serie A before players went off to play for their national sides and our statistics show that Napoli tend to do after an international break.

Napoli can cement their place at the top of the table on October 18th, as Conte’s men face a Torino side that has picked up just one win in Serie A this season.

Marco Baroni’s side have endured one of the more difficult starts to the season, facing Inter Milan, Fiorentina, Roma, Atalanta, Parma and Lazio so far.

Il Toro’s five-points have been earned from two draws and one victory, picking up a victory over Roma and being held to a stalemate by Fiorentina and in their most recent outing against Lazio.

Baroni will be well-aware of his sides’ issues on October 18th, as Torino have conceded the most goals in Serie A this season (13) and will be without star defender, Ardian Ismajli.

Torino vs Napoli Prediction

Napoli have enjoyed huge success over Torino in recent years, as Gli Azzurri have picked won eight of their last 11 meetings against the Turin-based side and picked up a league double last season.

Torino’s last victory over Napoli came in January 2024, with now Napoli defender, Alessandro Buongiorno, getting on the score-sheet for Il Toro.

Prior to this win, Torino had not beaten Napoli since March 2015 and we expect Antonio Conte’s side to continue their strong run against Il Toro with a comfortable victory on October 18th.

Prediction: Torino 1-3 Napoli

Torino vs Napoli Betting Tips

Rasmus Hojlund To Score: +120

The Danish international has been on a superb run of form since joining Napoli on loan, contributing to seven goals in his last four appearances for club and country (6G + 1A).

Hojlund’s bagged a brace and assist against Belarus on October ninth, before finding the back of the net three-days later against Greece – helping Denmark take another step to World Cup qualification.

His performances for the Danish national side come after a strong start in Naples, with Hojlund scoring four goals in six appearances for Antonio Conte’s side.

The Manchester United loanee was on target in Napoli’s most recent Serie A clash, scoring the winner in a 2-1 triumph over Genoa and will be looking to build on this momentum against Torino.
