With a UEFA Europa League defeat to Porto FC behind them, Napoli return to league action in need of a victory on the road. The club is currently third in the Serie A table, three points behind AS Roma and an automatic UEFA Champions League qualification. Fortunately for the club, Napoli visit Turin in scintillating league form. The Blues were the victors in three of their previous five matches. They are also unbeaten during that stretch (3-0-2).
With Torino’s current form, extending that modest streak shouldn’t prove to be difficult. The club enters today’s match with just one victory in the previous five matches. (1-4-0).
