Torino – Napoli: 14th May 2017

The kings of the draws

FC Torino ranks 9th in the Serie A standings with 50 points gathered in 35 rounds. Thus, Sinisa Mihajlovic’s band gave up any thought of taking a place in Europe, but despite this, the “bulls” have only recorded a single failure in the last 10 games of the championship, trying to wash Sins for a disappointing journey this season. Basically, in these last three stages, the team will play for Andrea Belotti, the young striker of the Torinoes, who has the chance to beat the leader of the hockey hierarchy in Italy, Edin Dzeko, the latter being injured. Thus, with just two failures, Belotti can become the top scorer of the season in which Torinez’s defense not only left him desirable, but also accounts for an embarrassing average of over 1.5 goals / match.

Second place, the only objective

Napoli ranks 3rd in the Serie A hierarchy, with 77 points in 35 stages. So, Maurizio Sarri’s students want to take second place again at the end of this season, as they did at the end of the past season, to the detriment of Rome. This round may be decisive for “azzuri”, as a possible misfortune of the capitalists in the Juventus dispute, coupled with a Napoletans’ success in Turin, would propel Napoli to the second place, which leads directly to the UEFA Champions League. However, the last two stages are not to be neglected for Sarri’s band, as Fiorentina or Sampdoria could always put them in the wheel of the Azzurri.
