My Prediction
Napoli by 2Alright then, here we are with the fixture of Napoli and Torino. Napoli's boys flex their credentials with Scott McTominay making some solid impressions on the pitch, notching up 3 goals and 86.1% accuracy. Bit of a one-man army, that lad. You've also got Matteo Politano and Frank Anguissa each contributing a goal, all the more reason for the opposition to be in jitters.
On the Torino end, though, you've got yourselves a bunch of hardworking chaps, seems to me. Eljif Elmas and Gvidas Gineitis are the soul goal-getters, no fireworks, but enough to keep the Torino ship afloat.
Between the sticks, Torino's Vanja Milinković-Savić has fared better with 17 saves, rating at 7.42, should've been a ballet dancer with those leaps. Napoli tends to switch keepers it seems, Simone Scuffet and Alex Meret trading the gloves, both at nearly similar ratings around the 7.3 mark.
To the historians among us, past encounters have favored Napoli, grabbing two wins and a draw in their last three meets - Nice little cherry on top for any Napoli fan. However, don't overlook Torino's recent run, with some tough cookie stalemates and a couple of wins tucked under their belt. Napoli on the other hand have a win-draw, win-draw sequence in recent games, can't quite tell if they like to keep things even-steven.
Season record though, tends to bend towards Napoli, with their 21-8-4 against Torino's 10-13-10, just need to do enough to keep their noses ahead. But in football, as in life, my friends, it’s the performances on the day that matter. Or at least that's what my ex-wife tells me.
Anyway, based on all this, the fat lady might just be warming up her vocals for Napoli. Torino has spirit, but Napoli's got the track record and baller festival lineup of top players.
