NAPOLI v TORINO PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Napoli have made a great start to the season and only Juventus and Inter Milan are above then in the current standings. Those sides meet at the weekend and if that match is drawn Napoli can gain ground if they beat Torino. That side made an excellent start to the season and reached a high of sixth place after their first five games. The home defeat to Cagliari has led to a poor run of results and they have fallen to 14th in the current standings after just one win in five matches. Matches involving these sides have been relatively low scoring this season with an overall average of marginally more than two goals. However, Napoli’s home matches have averaged virtually three goals per game.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Edinson Cavani is currently the second leading scorer in Serie A and another goal for Napoli in this match may earn his side all three points. His side had 53% of the possession in their recent defeat to league leaders Juventus but could only create two clear chances. That would suggest Napoli are not the most effective side in turning possession into goal scoring opportunities. Torino lost their recent home match to Cagliari. That side were winning for the first time this season so a home win was expected. In a game of few chances possession was shared and Cagliari scored the deciding goal with a late penalty. Rolando Bianchi is the side’s top scorer to date and is expected to play. His opportunities may be limited as his side mat struggle to share more than half of possession.

NAPOLI - TORINO PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Napoli have an unblemished record at home this season with five wins from as many matches. Only Juventus have a better record at their own ground and that is only due to a superior goal difference. Napoli are scoring on average more than two goals per game at home and that number can be maintained against Torino. It is worth noting that Torino are unbeaten on the roads this season but four of five such matches have been drawn. Torino are not playing well enough to spoil Napoli's record on their own pitch so a home win is anticipated.

Back Torino at 1.57 with 188Bet.

NAPOLI - TORINO PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Tornio have conceded just three goals in five matches away from home this season and that outstanding defensive record has compensated for some disappointing results at home. Torino also generally score away from home so correct bettors may consider a final result of 2-1. Napoli can create enough chances to win this game so both teams to score looks an interesting bet. In any case Napoli should be backed with no start in the handicap markets. Beginners not familiar with Asian Handicap can find info here: http://howtobet.net/online-betting-guide/asian-handicap
