Napoli return to the Diego Maradona Stadium seeking a third consecutive league victory, aiming to keep pace with Inter Milan at the top of Serie A.
With a formidable home record and a strong run of form, Napoli are favourites to extend their unbeaten streak, but Torino arrive with ambitions of their own, hoping to disrupt the title race.
Match Preview
Napoli have demonstrated remarkable consistency this season, particularly against top-half opponents, having collected at least six more points than any other side in such fixtures.
Their home form is equally impressive, with an eight-match unbeaten run in the league (six wins, two draws), despite keeping only one clean sheet in their last six at home.
Torino, meanwhile, are comfortably mid-table and cannot reach the European places or be dragged into a relegation battle, but they have shown resilience with just one defeat in their last eight matches.
While motivation might be limited for Torino, they will be eager to end their campaign on a positive note.
