On the whole, Napoli had a good start. Gennaro Gattuso’s team took third place in the table after seven rounds. The Neapolitans have 14 points in their assets and are only three points behind their current rival, who is going first. The second Sassuolo has one point more, but there is a possibility that the Parthenopians will be able to regain one point, which was removed from them for technical defeat by Juventus. If we do not take into account the failed match with the champion of Italy, for which among other things one point was removed from Napoli, then they had only one mistake. This was a 0:2 home defeat against Sassuolo in the sixth round. In the last match Napoli beat Bologna with a score 1:0 for their fifth victory in Serie A. In the Europa League Napoli started with a 0:1 defeat from AZ, but won the next two matches against Real Sociedad (1:0) and Rijeka (2:1). On Thursday the Neapolitans will have another match with the Croats, a victory in which will make them the favorite of the quartet.
The Bulls had previously finished in 16th place in the standings this season and the handicap over the danger zone was only five points. They played fun and productive football, but fans gave it a little joy against the backdrop of poor results. In the new campaign the Turin people do not change their usual style of play, against which results do not come to them either. So far, “Torino” has only five points and they are located on the edge of the danger zone, avoiding it only at the expense of additional indicators. In seven starting rounds, the bulls managed to score 12 times, whereas they conceded 16 goals into their own net. The upcoming meeting will be missed by Milliko, Izzo and Baselli.
