Comments and predictions for Napoli vs Torino: Extreme tension

Latest Napoli vs Torino team information

Juan Jesus is still unavailable, while former Torino defender Alessandro Buongiorno is not out of the squad but is struggling to recover from a groin injury.

Therefore, Rafa Marin – who just had a rare start against Monza – will likely continue to pair with mainstay Amir Rrahmani in the center of Napoli's defense.

With David Neres absent, Leonardo Spinazzola or Giacomo Raspadori will take on the left-wing role, supporting main striker Romelu Lukaku – who has been directly involved in six goals in his last three home games.

For Torino, with captain Duvan Zapata out with a long-term injury, Che Adams continues to lead the attack. After his goal in midweek, Adams has equaled the record of nine goals in a Serie A season, equaling fellow countryman Denis Law.

Former Napoli player Eljif Elmas – who scored 14 goals in 143 appearances for the Partenopei – will also start, while centre-back Saul Coco returns from suspension. However, Gvidas Gineitis is suspended for one match.

Ivan Ilic and Borna Sosa both picked up minor injuries against Udinese and could miss out, along with Nikola Vlasic and Valentino Lazaro.

Napoli:
Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Marin, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka; Politano, McTominay, Spinazzola; Lukaku

Latest football commentary Napoli vs Torino

Despite constant speculation about Antonio Conte's future – he is said to have fallen out with president Aurelio de Laurentiis – Napoli are still locked in a fierce battle with Inter for the Serie A title.

One of Conte's mainstays has made the difference in recent weeks, helping the southern club overcome a slump that had threatened their dream of a fourth Scudetto.

Just days after scoring twice against Empoli, Scott McTominay scored the only goal in last week’s win over bottom side Monza. Six of the Scot’s nine Serie A goals this season have come after the score was 0-0.

One of those goals was the winner in the first leg against Torino in December, and McTominay will be aiming to add to his tally when he faces Torino again this weekend, with just five games left of the season.

When Inter unexpectedly stumbled to a stoppage-time goal against Bologna, the two teams are now level on points, and if they finish the season level on points, a play-off to decide the title will be held.

Napoli are therefore under huge pressure to maintain their winning streak until the end of the season and are now looking to make it three consecutive Serie A wins for the first time since January.

History is on Napoli's side as they are unbeaten in their last 12 home games against Torino, however, at this late stage of the season, surprises can always happen.

Torino also have a poor recent record against Napoli: they have lost six of their last eight encounters, and have failed to score in five of those games.

However, Torino's current form is quite impressive: they have lost just one of their last eight Serie A games, thereby keeping alive their hopes of finishing in the top 10.

Che Adams – McTominay's international teammate – scored the opener as Torino beat Udinese 2-0 on Wednesday, extending their unbeaten home run into 2025.

Thanks to that, coach Paolo Vanoli's team is currently 10th in the rankings, eight points behind 9th-placed AC Milan, meaning they no longer have a chance to participate in the European Cup nor do they have to worry about the risk of relegation.

In their last 10 away games, Torino have lost just two and drawn six. With a relaxed mentality, they can fully hope to cause a surprise at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Sunday night.
