The action continues in round seven of Italian Serie A as Torino play host to Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Saturday. Antonio Conte’s men head into the weekend on a run of two defeats in their last two away matches and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Torino were left red-faced in their last outing before the international break as they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Lazio after giving up their lead from the penalty spot in the 13th minute of stoppage time.
With that result, Marco Baroni’s side have failed to win five of their six Serie A games this season, losing three and claiming two draws while conceding 13 goals and scoring just five so far.

Napoli have won five of their six Serie A matches this season to sit top of the league table with 15 points from a possible 18, level on points with second-placed AS Roma.
