By Rohan Mehta / 06.03.2026
Match Overview
Napoli is gearing up to host Torino on March 6, 2026, at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 local time, and it is crucial for both teams as they navigate their respective challenges in Serie A.
Team News
In a significant development for Napoli, Billy Gilmour will start in central midfield against Torino. However, the team will be without key players Scott McTominay and Stanislav Lobotka, who are unavailable due to injury. Additionally, Napoli will miss David Neres, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Amir Rrahmani. Kevin De Bruyne and André Frank-Zambo Anguissa are expected to start from the bench, which may impact Napoli’s attacking options.
On the other side, Torino is likely to field Duvan Zapata as their starting forward. The team has struggled recently, losing six of their last seven away matches in Serie A, which puts additional pressure on them as they face a strong Napoli side.
Current Form and Statistics
Napoli currently sits third in the Serie A table with 53 points from 27 matches. They have not lost at home this season, boasting an impressive record of eight wins and four draws. In their last corresponding fixture against Torino, Napoli secured a 2-0 victory, further solidifying their dominance over the visitors.
In contrast, Torino has faced difficulties this season, scoring only 27 goals, one of the lowest tallies in the league. Their average of 0.92 goals scored per away match highlights their struggles in front of goal, making this match even more challenging for them.
Historically, Napoli has been formidable against Torino at home, with an unbeaten run of 13 matches (W8, D4). This trend could weigh heavily on the minds of the Torino players as they prepare to take the field. Napoli cannot afford a slip-up this evening, as they aim to maintain their position in the top tier of the league.
Broadcast Information
The match will be broadcast live on DAZN in the UK and Ireland, and on Paramount+ in the USA, allowing fans to follow the action as it unfolds.
Predictions and Expectations
As the match approaches, predictions lean towards a Napoli victory, with many analysts suggesting a scoreline of Napoli 2, Torino 0. It would take something special from the visitors to address their wastefulness in front of goal at the Maradona Stadium.
With both teams facing their own sets of challenges, the Napoli vs Torino clash promises to be a significant encounter in the Serie A calendar. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Napoli can continue their home dominance or if Torino can turn their fortunes around.
