Napoli FC are aiming to continue their prolific run in the Serie A recently, as they go against Torino FC, who are at the other half of the league table. These two teams are not that far from each other when it comes to the league table. Napoli are currently at the seventh of the league table, having 43 points in their campaign. However, Napoli are aiming to get a win here so they could steal the sixth spot, where they only need all the maximum points. On the other hand, Torino is at the 10th of the league table with 37 points in their Serie A campaign. However, Torino are aiming to get as many wins, in order to improve their record in the Serie A. The meeting between these two teams is on March 9, 2024, at 3:45 AM (GMT+8).
Napoli FC
Slovakia’s new manager, Calzona, has made significant improvements in the team’s performance after the dismal reign of Walter Mazzarri. Despite a 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 tie, the tie remains alive, and Napoli’s last two results have been impressive. Victor Osimhen’s hat trick helped them defeat Sassuolo 6-1, and they beat a fading Juventus side 2-1 at the Maradona. Despite missing numerous brilliant chances, Napoli managed to secure three points thanks to Giacomo Raspadori’s late winner. An eight-point gap has opened between Napoli and Bologna. However, their current position in seventh place in the league table suggests they may be playing some form of European football next season. They has not been on their best this season, and they will aim to achieve a similar result this week.
Napoli faces fitness concerns for Amir Rrahmani, who was sidelined with a muscular problem in the win over Juventus. Jens Cajuste and Cyril Ngonge are also sidelined. Osimhen leads the line with five goals in four games.
Torino FC
Torino, who defeated Napoli 3-0 in Turin at the start of the year, has been struggling in the Serie A standings, currently in 10th place. They took 12 points from a possible 18, and were likely to threaten European places. However, gaps have begun to open up, and the table is beginning to take shape with the final few weeks on the horizon. Torino’s rapid falloff, with one point from their last three games, all against European rivals, has led to them losing touch with the top eight. Their problems lie in their inconsistent performance, with only three teams scoring fewer goals and another blank in their draw with La Viola. Torino must take up a notch in this fixture to maintain their position in the top eight.
Torino will be without Serbian midfielder Ivan Ilic due to a knee injury, and Samuele Ricci will serve a one-match suspension. Napoli will have Kosovan defender Rrahmani and Torino’s own defender Mergim Vojvoda injured.

Napoli FC (1.5)
