Torino vs Napoli Prediction: Will the home team be able to achieve another victory?

Italian league leader Napoli confidently beat Germany's Eintracht to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League on Wednesday. Now the team will play an away match in the Serie A against Torino. Will the home team be able to achieve another victory?

After three games without a win, the team won two straight victories. First, Torino beat Bologna (1:0) on home soil, and then, scoring two unanswered goals in 23 minutes, they easily beat Lecce (2:0) on the road. Thanks to their six points from the previous two rounds, the Pomegranate side is closer to the European Cup competitions. The Turin side is now in eighth place, only five points behind the top six.

The return leg against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League last eight essentially became a formality for Napoli after they beat the Eagles 2:0 in the first away game. Despite a comfortable lead, Luciano Spalletti fielded a fighting lineup for the game that achieved another victory over the Germans in 64 minutes, scoring three unanswered goals. Napoli reached the quarterfinals of the main European club tournament without any problems (3:0).

The Neapolitans also won the previous match of the domestic championship. And without any significant problems, sending two unanswered goals to Atalanta without allowing them to create a dangerous moment near their goal. With a 2:0 win, Napoli topped the Serie A standings with an insane 18-point handicap.

Napoli has won 11 of their 13 away matches this season. However, it is unlikely that Napoli will win in Turin. First, Torino has lost only three of their 12 home games, conceding only eight goals. Second, Napoli will be playing after their UEFA Champions League clash, which means they simply do not have the strength to overcome their opponent when needed. So let's take a cautious bet here on Napoli and the total under. Both home Torino and away Napoli are low-scoring teams this season.
