Torino vs Napoli Prediction and Preview – 08/05/16
Serie A preview – Torino vs Napoli prediction.
Giampiero Ventura has chopped and changed his Torino line-up in recent games but may be tempted to stick with the same starting eleven that hammered five past Udinese last weekend. There are no new injury concerns, left-back Danilo Avelar is out for the rest of the season while centre-forward Ciro Immobile and midfielder Joel Obi must prove their fitness after missing games with thigh problems.
Napoli have virtually a fully-fit squad available with stand-in defender Vlad Chiriches the only doubt with a hamstring strain. Maurizio Sarri substituted his three attacking players, Gonzalo Higuain, Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne, on Monday but the trio are available to start on Sunday. Higuain scored twice against Atalanta to extend his lead as Serie A top goalscorer with 32 league goals so far this season.
Possible Line-ups
Torino 3-5-2 formation: Padelli; Silva, Bovo, Jansson; Zappacosta, Acquah, Benassi, Vives, Peres; Martinez, Belotti
Napoli 4-3-3 formation: Reina; Hysaj, Koulibaly, Albiol, Ghoulam; Hamsik, Jorginho, Allan; Callejon, Higuain, Insigne
