Napoli will put their 100% record on the line when they face Torino in an Italian Serie A fixture at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The hosts have looked almost unstoppable this season and should be too strong for Torino.
Napoli maintained their impressive start to the season with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in their previous Serie A fixture. They fought back from a goal down with Hirving Lozano and Amir Rrahmani getting the goals.
It has been a brilliant return to coaching for Luciano Spalletti with Napoli the only team with a 100% record in Serie A this season. They have already beaten Juventus this term and are two points clear at the top of the table.
Led by the impressive Victor Osimhen, who has four goals this season, Napoli are among the leading scorers in Serie A. They have also conceded the fewest goals and have kept clean sheets in three of their last four league matches.
Torino travel to Napoli off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Juventus in the Turin derby last time out. They held their rivals at bay for much of the contest but ultimately succumbed to all the pressure four minutes from time.
While Torino have shown some improvement under manager Ivan Juric, they are still looking slightly unconvincing this term. They have claimed just two wins from their opening seven matches and are currently in the bottom half of the table.
Torino are also generally poor on their travels and have claimed just two wins from their last 10 away matches stretching back to last season.
