Napoli take on the visitors Torino in the round 33 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, April 27th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Napoli have occasionally challenged for the top spots. However, they won the Scudetto rather unexpectedly two seasons ago, with a newly rebuilt squad that had lost key leaders but left no room for competition. On the other hand, by spring that season, their form dipped noticeably, and they merely held on to the title. Luciano Spalletti, sensing the situation, left the club under a respectable pretext — and rightly so, as the 2023/2024 campaign turned into a complete disappointment, ending with a drop to 10th place. Furthermore, key players like Osimhen and Zieliński departed in the summer. Nevertheless, Antonio Conte’s arrival brought fresh energy, and with Lukaku and McTominay as reinforcements, Napoli reignited a title race against Inter. Although the January departure of Kvaratskhelia hurt their momentum, rival teams also stumbled, allowing Napoli to maintain their position near the top. Moreover, a narrow 1-0 win over Monza, combined with Inter’s slip-up, helped Napoli climb back to a share of first place. Napoli have also improved defensively, conceding only one goal across their last five league matches.

Torino will definitely not improve this season. The Granata were managed by Ivan Jurić, who successfully kept them in the upper half of the table, although always just outside the European qualification zone — finishing ninth last year. Hopes for further progress led to the appointment of Paolo Vanoli, who left Venezia after guiding them to Serie A promotion through the playoffs. Vanoli’s Torino started brightly but soon fell into an inconsistent pattern of decent spells mixed with disappointing runs, with the failures outweighing the successes. As a result, they have fallen well behind even AC Milan, who currently sit ninth. That said, Torino put on a solid performance last round, beating Udinese 2-0 with a confident display. However, they have struggled to string together consecutive positive results, winning only two of their last eight matches. Their away form remains particularly troubling, with just one win on the road since January.
Last season, the Bulls managed to take four points off the champions — which helped them finish above Napoli on tiebreakers. However, in December, a lone goal from McTominay gave Napoli an away win. The stronger and highly motivated side is playing at home. We predict Napoli to win with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.0 handicap.
