Antonio Conte’s Napoli are chasing a second Scudetto in three seasons — and every single game is now a must-win. With Inter Milan breathing down their necks, the reigning champions host Torino at the iconic Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Friday, March 6, 2026. Torino are mid-table, nothing to lose, and historically capable of a shock in Naples. Can Conte’s men hold their nerve?

Napoli are level on points with Inter at the top. A slip here could hand the title initiative back to the Nerazzurri immediately.
Match Preview
Napoli arrive in the best possible mood. Back-to-back clean sheet victories — including a dramatic comeback win over Genoa — have reignited their title charge. Conte has been the Granata’s personal bogey manager, winning 8 of his 10 career matches against Torino. The tactical blueprint is clear: stay compact, exploit Torino’s defensive fragility from the flanks.
The concern? Napoli are hit by a devastating injury crisis. Alex Meret, Frank Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne, David Neres, and Scott McTominay are all out. Rasmus Hojlund leads the attack, supported by Matteo Politano and Leonardo Spinazzola. A heavily reshuffled midfield means Napoli may lack their usual creative spark.
Torino, meanwhile, are neither safe nor threatened — sitting comfortably 10th. Manager Marco Baroni has steadied the ship after a rocky start, but the Granata have just one away win this season against teams not starting in the relegation zone. Their attackers, Giovanni Simeone and Che Adams, will need to be at their sharpest to breach a Napoli side that is unbeaten in 12 consecutive home matches against Torino.

Prediction
History, home advantage, and Conte’s tactical mastery all point firmly towards Napoli. But with six key players unavailable, this is far from routine. Torino’s low-block away approach could frustrate an understrength Napoli side — yet the Partenopei have too much to play for to settle for anything less than three points.
Our Prediction: Napoli 2–0 Torino (Hojlund and Politano to deliver)
