Napoli are looking to kickstart this busy six-week period with a comfortable win over an inconsistent Torino side today.
The match between the Partenopei and the Granata kicks off at 14.00 UK time at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples.
Luciano Spalletti almost has a fully healthy Napoli squad for today’s clash, with his only absence being star striker Victor Osimhen, still out with a right hamstring injury.
Ivan Juric cannot count on Mergim Vojvoda, Samuele Ricci and Pietro Pellegri in his Torino side today, all of whom are sidelined with injuries.
Last season, Napoli won both meetings against Torino, 1-0 at home and 1-0 away, and both victories came after a goal late in the second half. Spalletti will be hoping for a more convincing win as the Campania side kick off their first game in 12 ahead of the World Cup break.
Probable line-ups for Napoli vs Torino:
Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Mario Rui; Zambo Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Simeone, Kvaratskhelia.
Torino (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Schuurs, Buongiorno, Rodriguez; Singo, Lukic, Linetty, Lazaro; Radonjic, Vlasic; Sanabria.
