Napoli will be looking to maintain their 100% record when they face Torino in an Italian Serie A fixture at the Stadio Diego Maradona on Sunday with kickoff at 19:00.
The hosts have looked almost unstoppable this season recording seven out of seven wins in the Serie A so far to collect 21 points that have left them at the top of the rankings with two points above second placed AC Millan.
The Neapolitans maintained their impressive start to season by fighting back from a goal down to record a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in their previous Serie A fixture with Hirving Lozano and Amir Rrahmani getting the goals. The win made sure that Napoli continue to remain the only side with 100% record in the league and have already beaten Juventus this term.
On top of their strong brilliant form Napoli are also among the leading scorers in the league with the impressive Victor Osimhen leading the line with four goals and have conceded the fewest goals while keeping three clean sheets in their last four league matches.
Meanwhile despite Torino displaying some improvement under manager Ivan Juric, they are still looking slightly unconvincing this season having just claimed two victories in their opening seven matches while registering two draws and three defeats and currently in the 11th position with eight points in the standings.
The Turins head into the match off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Juventus in the Turin derby last time out, where Torino displayed an impressive game but eventually succumbed to all the last minutes pressure condemning them to their third winless match in the Serie A.
Now Torino head into the match in poor form having just won two of their last six matches across all competitions as well as are enduring a steaky spell in their away matches as they have just won two of their last 10 Serie A matches stretching back to last season.
