A good away victory last time out for Napoli, who won 4-0 against Torino (placed 11th).

The forward Osimhen edged out all others in that match and got a match rating of 9.01 out of 10. Osimhen scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A victory at home ahead of that match, as expected. The team were big favourites against Eintracht Frankfurt and won 3-0. The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.
