Only a win will satisfy the Napoli supporters in this Stadio San Paolo, Napoli clash with Torino, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Serie A table.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Champions League match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Barcelona, was also a home game here at Stadio San Paolo, Napoli. The away team is better rested.
Torino have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Napoli form and stats
The story so far in the Serie A for Napoli at their home stadium (Stadio San Paolo, Napoli) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Napoli, who played 1-1 against Barcelona. That match was also played at this venue (Stadio San Paolo, Napoli). In the game before, an away victory in the Serie A match versus Brescia with a 2-1 scoreline.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Napoli have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won two, drawn zero and lost two.
The Napoli fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. Napoli have conceded 17 in these home matches.
Torino form and stats
4-1-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Torino in their Serie A matches away. It's looking increasingly bleak for Torino who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Bologna was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Torino are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
There might be some fixture complaints from Torino as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Serie A match against Milan (0-1). A loss against Sampdoria was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Torino playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Torino win, two draws and two defeats.
Torino find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Torino have conceded 21 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
