Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this week as Torino lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important clash at the Stadio San Paolo on Friday.
Napoli vs Torino Preview
Torino are currently in 10th place in the Serie A standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The away side played out a 0-0 stalemate against Fiorentina last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Napoli, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Neapolitan giants stunned Juventus with a 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Napoli vs Torino Prediction
Napoli have improved after a poor start to their campaign and will need to maintain their impressive run to move up the league table. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen have come into their own over the past month and will need to make their mark this week.
Torino can pack a punch on their day and stunned Napoli in the reverse fixture. Napoli are in better form at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
