Torino wouldn’t only be playing for themselves this weekend as a positive result on Monday would also mean well for their city rivals Juventus. They take in Napoli who are currently just two points outside behind Juventus in the race for the top four. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Torino still haven’t registered a victory in this fixture since the 2014/15 season. During this time, they have held Napoli to a stalemate on four occasions. One of those were in the reverse fixture with both side sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw.

No losses in four

With two wins and two draws in the last four games, Torino looks like the side that actually means business in all of the teams hovering around the relegation zone. Having played a game less, they’re four points safe and as such, they would certainly be looking to put more daylight between them and the relegation battle. In their most recent game, they played out a 1-1 draw with Bologna.

Gattuso still pushing for a top four finish

Rino Gattuso and his side are still very much in the race for Champions League football as they stand just two points behind Juventus and Atalanta. They put five past Lazio last time out as they recorded a massive 5-2 win during the week. Given that Juventus and Atalanta still have a couple of tough games, they would certainly fancy their chances heading into the final six games of the season.
