Torino have been very inconsistent lately, winning 3/9 of their last 9 league fixtures. However, they've only won 1/3 of their last 5 away from home. They haven't scored in 4 consecutive league fixtures and have conceded 7 times in those same 4 fixtures. Their defense has let them down badly recently, allowing 10+ shots per game in each of their last 2 league fixtures. They're currently without key defenders Andrea Barzaglia (hamstrings) and Alessandro Florenzi(knees). Torino have lost 2/3 of their last 3 away from home so we expect them to struggle to score here.
Juventus who lost over the past weekend at home to AC Milan will be looking for a morale boosting win against Torino. The Turin side have won just once in their last 8 league matches but that was back in December when they beat Napoli 2-1. They've also won just twice on the road this season and both wins were by a solitary goal margin. In fact, Juve's last victory on the road came way back in August when they defeated Sassuolo 2-0. They've not kept a clean sheet since then either. This is a tough fixture for Torino as they've failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 9 away from home matches.
We think Juventus will get the job done with ease here.
Prediction : Juventus to Win
Napoli have had an incredible start to the season, having won 7/9 of their opening 9 league fixtures. They've also picked up 23 points out of a possible 27 in their first 9 league matches. That's pretty impressive stuff! They've also managed to pick up a total of 14 points from losing positions which is even better than what most sides manage to do. They've scored 20 goals already this season and have conceded just 6. They've also won all three of their home games so far this season.
Bologna have struggled this season, picking up just 7 points from a possible 27 in their opening 9 league fixtures. They've failed to score in 4 consecutive league fixtures. They've lost 3/4 of their last 5 away form home and have only won one of their last 12 away from home. They've also failed to keep a cleansheet in 4 of their last 5 league matches. They've also failed miserably in front of goal scoring just 3 goals in their last 5 league matches and have yet to register a single shot on target in any of those matches.
Napoli have been unstoppable at home this season!
Prediction: Napoli Win
