Napoli vs Torino Betting Tips

It’s already been a pretty great season for Napoli. They eased through the group stages of the Europa League, they are just one point off top place in Serie A after entering the Christmas break on the back of a 0-0 draw with rivals Roma and beating a solid opponent Atalanta 3-1 away from home. They’re also into the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia after beating Verona 3-0.

Lots of games for a stretched squad that aims to play an attacking and entertaining brand of football. They’re great fun to watch and highly skilled, but it’ll be interested to see whether they can keep the pace up through the second half of the season and whether recruits are brought in before the end of the January transfer window.

They start Wednesday’s game against Torino as big favourites. Torino haven’t quite been able to replicate what was a highly effective 2014/15 season. They lost at home to Udinese before the winter break and got dumped out in a 4-0 defeat against Turin rivals Juventus in the Coppa Italia.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Napoli will go for it

Playing at home, coming back fresh, we back Napoli to give this game a go with the intention of scoring a few times. Our correct score prediction backs a relatively comfortable victory for the home side.

2. Torino match up well

This isn’t a bad match-up overall for Torino. They’ll be happy to sit on the back foot and not see the football too much, they’ll look to get the ball in the air, win battles and bundle a goal in at some stage. Serie A is erratic and unpredictable and we think Torino will find a way to at least get on the scoresheet in this match-up.

3. Open game

Napoli’s playing style and Torino’s goal-scoring ability will ensure that this is an open game of football and we’re getting a BTTS market at 10/11, which isn’t bad at all.
