Friday 8th March
Napoli 19:45 Torino

The game between Napoli and Torino is ongoing and as expected the host is dominating the match. The visitors have not had a single shot on target but Napoli have tried to get a shot on target but the scoreline is goaless. Coach Francesco Calzona came up with a strong squad and will also consider rotating some players by substituting them before the end of the match to prepare them for the second leg second round UCL match with Barcelona. Cyril Ngonge and Jens Cajuste were left out if the squad due to injuries but they team has good players who can replace them. Napoli will want to win this game to boast the chances of featuring in European competition. But it will not be an easy game because Torino is also are well organized side.

The last time both team met was in January when coach Walter Mazzarri was in charge of Napoli and Torino won the game by three goals to nothing. Maybe Napoli might want to revenge the last the last loss against the Torino but they just have about 50minutes to get some goals. If Napoli allow Torino to score first, they might find it difficult to level up because the visitor is a good defending side.

It was a goalless first half, and Torino didn't give any space to Napoli for them to find the back of the net, as they sealed up their defense in the first half. Napoli is playing at home, and this should be an advantage for them to win their visitors, who is also equal to the task of the challenge.

I don't think that this match would end in a draw, because one of the team will not be able to hold on till 90 minutes is over. If a change is made by the coach maybe this will bring light to one of the clubs to take advantage on that to score their opponent. Torino is a stubborn club that would not accept defeat until the final whistle. The second half is currently ongoing.

This match should not have been so difficult for Napoli to win, but playing against some lower teams makes it difficult for some big teams to win, even when statistics show that they have a better chance and a higher winning rate when compared to one another. So far, Napoli has had more possession and dominated the game than Torino, as well as more shots on target. This demonstrates Torino's defensive mindset, and they will not allow Napoli to take the lead in the game since it began.

When it comes to a team that can hold the other, I believe Torino will reach a point where they will be unable to withstand the pressure from Napoli and will simply have to allow them to score. If this occurs anytime soon, I expect more goals to come out of this game as the pressure on Torino will increase. Napoli is back on track and will not let this match break their winning streak as they aim to finish in the top four of the league before the season ends.

It should be like that, this match will not be too difficult for Napoli. Just now, in the 61st minute, Kvaratskheilla scored the first goal of the match.
So the position becomes:
1 - 0
for Napoli leading so far.

In fact, Torino also made quite a significant attack on Napoli. However, that is not yet too pressing and in fact Napoli can still be recognized quite well. Indeed, this match was quite tough, especially since there were several violations committed by the two clubs during the course of the match. Napoli also have to be alert, don't get a red card whatever happens.

The fabulous left winger for Napoli Kvaratskhelia has found the back of the net with a brilliant finish on the 61st minutes of the match to take the lead, but not upto for minutes that Antonio Sanabria equalized the goal with a fantastic over head goal to balance the scoreline. The match is becoming difficult, and I don't think that it will be an easy match for Napoli since their visitors have equalized the goal not q I te long after Napoli opened the scoreline. Napoli should try their best to win this match so that they can keep their matches going, and adding points. Torino is on the 10th position on the league, and this is why they don't want to mess things up by allowing Napoli to win the match, they believe the worst thing is that they will share points with Napoli. Let us see if a miracle will happen here for Napoli. Napoli needs to win this match to get more motivated for their match against Barcelona in the Champions League.

This match is a match that Napoli must win. I think Napoli will win even though Torino was able to hit back moments after Kvaratskhelia's goal to put Napoli ahead.
The statistics are now evenly matched, but in about 15 more years, Napoli can win again if I look at the way they play with the several opportunities that have occurred so far.
Osimhen will probably be the player who will score the winning goal even though Osimhen's accuracy level is still very low in this match at least until the 80th minute.

[Mr.suevie]

But at this moment I personally might just be more confident about AS Roma because honestly, AS Roma really managed to improve their performance and quality in De Rossi's coaching. So, although currently AS Roma still has a four-point gap with Bologna who is in fourth place, but I think AS Roma has a better chance of being able to finish in the top four compared to Bologna. Likewise about Napoli, because after the change of coach that Napoli made that Napoli also experienced an increase in better results now. But unfortunately, Napoli do not have a close gap to be able to return to the topfour because after all, at the same time the teams above Napoli also have good performance such as Atalanta, AS Roma and Bologna. So ya,although Napoli are also experiencing an increase in performance, but I believe that Napoli do not have a good chance of being able to climb up to the top four.

The difference in points between Napoli and fourth place in the standings is quite large, it is a bit impossible for Bologna, Roma and Atalanta to fall at the same time, thus opening up the opportunity for Napoli to move up to the Champions League zone. Moreover, Roma is now starting to appear impressive since management appointed De Rossi as manager, and Napoli chances are lower than Roma's to finish in the top four. Soon Napoli will face Torino, getting 3 points makes them move up to 6th place, shifting Atalanta.

It's really hard to believe that Napoli who were once a fearsome force in the serie A last season would now be struggling to actually finish in the top four. And with the way things are heating up in this Torino game, I can deduce that they might actually end the game at draw a piece as the game is currently standing at one all a piece and this would certainly be a devastating results for Napoli as the chances gets slimmer and slimmer.

However, Napoli doesn't seem to have the determination to do that and if the score doesn't change then Napoli will have to be willing to share one point with Torino. I wonder what's the point of beating Juventus the previous week to beating Sassuolo badly if they still can't be consistent until now and this is more like wasting an existing opportunity. I don't expect much from Napoli and this season they won't be in the top 4 either.

It looks like this match will end in a draw and that is quite unfortunate in my opinion because even if 1 point is still quite good but this can be said as a defeat for Napoli because they have a loss if the match ends in a draw.
Though their momentum in the hands of Calzona is quite good but in this match they failed to get full points and have to start over with new momentum. Now the match has entered extra time and they are still unable to add to the score because of the good defense that Torino is doing.
Napoli played quite well actually but there were some things that I didn't really like in this match including their finishing which was very poor which made the match difficult to win.

Despite Napoli's recent victories, particularly in their recent matches like three games, I had anticipated a significant improvement in their performance overall. However, their game against Torino contradicted this expectation. Given that the match was held on Napoli's home turf, I had assumed they would emerge victorious. However, Napoli's performance fell short of my expectations.Despite their efforts, they failed to meet the level of play I had anticipated, especially considering Torino's comparatively weaker form. Their inconsistency raises doubts about their ability to secure a spot in the top four once again. Nevertheless, only time will reveal the outcome of their upcoming matches and whether they can rectify their performance to meet the desired standards.

Napoli seems to be having difficulty returning to the top 4 because several teams above their ranking have managed to perform more consistently than them. In today match, Napoli was held to a draw by Torino at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium with a score of 1-1. Statistically in today match, of course, Napoli excelled in shooting, where they managed to record 22 shots. Sometimes if the process of launching an attack is very good but when in the final solution they are not able to convert it into a goal then every opportunity is completely meaningless.

Torino managed to maintain their performance in the second half by mounting their defense strongly after the game remained at 1-1. If Napoli fails again then it will be very difficult for them to overtake other teams who are much more consistent than them and in my opinion Roma has a better chance of closing the season in the top 4 compared to Napoli.

It's quite unfortunate to see the results. because the euphoria regarding Napoli's performance so far is still quite good. especially under their new coach. And here, Napoli really have a bigger chance to win. but why? Why?

Yapppsss..
Quite disappointing results from this match. because after all, Napoli is favored. And even though they had to continue winning in order to reach a position above them, unfortunately that was already the end of this match.

I think Napoli players have tried their best but they are just unlucky today. They actually deserved to win the match because they very dominated the match. Sadly, Napoli attackers have no good accuracy in shooting today. They wasted too many chances, having 22 shots but only succeeded scoring 1 goal. In my opinion, Calzona sometimes needs to rotate the starting lineup of Napoli for the next matches.

Calzona has done quite good job, he makes Napoli to always get point in every match. In the last 5 matches in Serie A, Napoli never got a single lose at least. I'm sure Calzona still adapts his tactics with the players of Napoli. He may need a longer time to ensure everything running as his plan. Honestly, I am a bit optimistic with Calzona.

They can still be in the top 4 in the table, but the main reason why I also doubt if they can still make it is that they have already decided to share points with Torino, although the Torino defence was not very simple for Napoli to break because they didn’t give Napoli any chance, and all of us have that complete hope that Napoli will definitely win them. That is why Torino came prepared just to surprise people, and the results of today’s game will make us start doubting if Napoli can really still make the 7 points and meet up with the top 4 in the table. But with belief and hope, Napoli will definitely try their best to see themselves prospering in the game.

By most of the indications, it's obvious that Napoli may not actually be able to make up for the slack they are already slacking behind, so it's almost of no much use if they just keep fighting when they know that they my not be able to still meet up so at this point all they do is to maintain.a very good position above relegation and probably hope to get a come back in a very much better form by next season hopefully when they have improved.

Beating Torino wouldn't still make much difference for Napoli too except they will be able to maintain a streak of winnings where they will be able to continually beat mist teams till the end of the season so they could get back hopes on probably been able to get to the top four on the table again because they may definitely not get the opportunity to defend their title this season again, Sharing points with Torino didn't do them much good neither was it a bad move for them aswell but it would have been better if they and won Torino as it would have helped their position.

T
Napoli was wanting to gradually get back to staying amongst the top teams on the table and it would have been possible by the gradual accumulation of points till they get to the top of the table again but  then this draw against Torino may have a way of slowing them down but if they brace up by next match, they can possibly get to fix the lapsis and still get back in form a d probably get to finish well this season.

[nelson4lov]

Despite Kvaratskhelia chances towards the end of the match, Napoli wasn't able to score another goal. After watching today's game, I think it's safe to say that Napoli's problem this season is way bigger than only Oshimen can solve. It's almost as if some players are giving their best while others are contributing less than 100% effort. Anyway, I don't want to stray too far. Torino needed that draw and was very happy that it ended 1-1 apiece.

Napoli play hosts to Inter Milan next week. That's another game to look forward to. Napoli should have won against Torino because of Inter will be more difficult challenge.

What a disappointing performance displayed by Napoli indeed. I was expecting a revenge from Napoli since Torino won them earlier this year 2024 in their first leg match.
However, I finalized the match as a lucky match for Torino because the one point is actually important for Torino because they will be happy to maintain their position even though they can be adjusted if other matches are played.
Napoli dominated the match from beginning to the end, but slight errors lead to the equalizer which made the match ended in a draw. It is not a bad result for Napoli as well, but they will appreciate the complete three points.

Napoli this season has looked very bad until it has changed coaches twice. and until now Napoli has fallen behind 7 points potentially so 10 points with the current 4th place Bologna. to get a champion league ticket next season is very difficult even though the opportunity is still there.

This is not easy match for Napoli and i think their players have give their best in this match especially Kvaratskhelia that besides scored Kvaratskhelia is became an the most dangerous player for Torino because during the match he was often to threaten Torino defensive lines and i have to says Kvaratskhelia is performing more good compared to Osimhen but indeed Torino players were very discipline so although they were pressed but Torino players is very focus to guarded their defensive lines especially their goalkeeper Milinković-Savić that he was successfully to made fantastic safe several times

This result indeed beyond out from people predictions because people thought Napoli will be able to resumes their winning streak but in fact Torino was successfully to stole point from them and this result makes Napoli target to entering top 4 will be so difficult because currently they have 7 points behind Bologna and upcoming matches in Serie A also will not easy because next week Napoli have to fight against Inter Milan and if we see based from their recent performance then most likely Napoli will be lost from that match
