On Saturday afternoon, Torino hosts Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino in Serie A, as the visitors attempt to keep their slim title hopes alive.
Torino
The Granata are finishing their Serie A campaign in decent form, as Ivan Juric’s team is unbeaten in their last six matches in the Italian top-flight, having recorded three wins and three draws. Last time out, the team from Turin recorded a 3-1 win at Empoli.
The home side is tenth-place in the Serie A table and the highest position they can reach in the table is ninth place, although that would only be achieved if they won all three of their remaining games and ninth-place Verona suffered defeat in all of theirs.
Torino’s recent home form in the league has been poor. A 2-1 home win over Spezia in their last home match in Serie A ended a five-game winless run on home soil in Serie A for Il Toro.
Napoli
After looking like potential title challengers for much of the season, Napoli head into the last three games of the Serie A season seven points adrift of top of the table Milan and five behind second-place Inter. Luciano Spalletti’s team is also just a point clear of fourth-place Juventus.
An emphatic 6-1 home win against Sassuolo last time out ended a winless run of three games in the Italian top-flight. That poor recent run of form virtually ended the Azzurri’s chances of winning the Scudetto this season.
The visitors have a decent recent away record in the Italian top-flight, winning five of their last seven matches in Serie A. In fact, a 3-2 defeat at Empoli ended a nine-game unbeaten run in the Italian top-flight on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Napoli will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter. However, it is likely to prove too little too late for their Scudetto challenge.
