Torino preview: Struggling Torino
In their opening six matches of the 2025/26 Serie A season, Torino have managed just one victory. They have been underwhelming for the last few years and standing still in any major league will eventually see you begin to go backwards.
Even with former Lazio boss Marco Baroni has replaced Paolo Vanoli at Stadio Grande Torino, but they have remained underwhelming. They most recently shared a thrilling 3-3 draw with the aforementioned Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.
Napoli preview: Defending champions
Antonio Conte is seeking to defend the Serie A title once again and Napoli return from the October international break sitting at the top-of-the-table after six matches, with five victories and one defeat so far this season.
The Neapolitans went into the break on the back of a come from behind 2-1 defeat of Genoa at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona a couple of weeks ago, courtesy of goals from Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Rasmus Hojlund.

Torino vs Napoli prediction
Ivan Juric departed Torino because things had gone stale and then Paolo Vanoli struggled to improve that. Marco Baroni will hope the recent 3-3 draw against Lazio was the much-needed discovery of a spark in that one. They now face a Napoli side that will be firm favourites for this one in Piedmont but, as pragmatic as they are, will try and keep things low energy ahead of facing PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Torino vs Napoli tip: Napoli to win & under 3.5 goals
