Napoli will continue to push for UEFA Champions League (UCL) qualification for next season when they welcome Torino to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Friday night. The Scudetto holders are in third place but are a massive 14 points behind league leaders Inter Milan, and look likely to surrender their crown come the end of the campaign.
Still, they could qualify for the UCL via a top-four finish, and they boosted those hopes with a 2-1 win at Hellas Verona last time out. Meanwhile, Torino were also victors by beating Lazio 2-0 on home soil, but remain just four places and six points above the relegation zone.

Napoli vs Torino prediction: Hosts to seal vital victory?
Key stats
- Napoli remain unbeaten at home in Serie A this season (W8, D4).
- Torino are winless in four away matches in all competitions (D1, L3).
- Napoli are also unbeaten in 13 H2Hs on home soil (W8, D5).
Correct score prediction: Napoli 3-1 Torino
Napoli should be favourites to win this one given that they have home advantage and are higher up in the table. However, they are struggling to keep clean sheets at the moment, and so we are also backing Torino to score.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Napoli favourites with bookmakers
- HOME: 10/21 (1.48) – 67.7%
- DRAW: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
- AWAY: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As shown by the implied probabilities, Napoli are unsurprisingly the favourites with bookmakers to claim all three points on home soil. A draw can still be backed at just under 24%, while a Torino win is rated the most unlikely outcome at just over 15%.

Most recent H2Hs: Napoli strong at home
As mentioned before, Napoli are unbeaten in the last 13 home H2Hs, which suggests that they are likely to get a positive result. However, Torino did win 1-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season, which should give the visitors this time around a little encouragement.
