&lt;p&gt;Torino host Napoli at 15:00. The hosts broke a three-game losing streak last week by drawing against Monza, but now need a win against the leaders to get back in the hunt for important goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli, who returned to three points last week against Roma, do not agree, ending the tour de force of the last month that saw Conte`s boys lose to Atalanta, draw with Inter, and win with Milan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino went unbeaten in their two matches against Napoli last season (W1 D1), after a run of five defeats in a row, and could go at least three consecutive matches unbeaten against the Partenopei for the first time since between December 2007 and November 2012 in Serie A (run of five – W3 D2).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino won the first meeting of last season`s league match against Napoli (3-0); the Granata have not won their first match of the season against the Neapolitans for two straight Serie A seasons since 1984-85 and 1985-86, with Luigi Radice as coach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli lost their last away match against Torino in Serie A (0-3 in January 2024), having won seven of their previous eight away matches against the Granata in the top-flight (D1). Indeed, only twice in the competition have the Azzurri lost two matches in a row without scoring away to the Granata, between March and December 1936 and between November 1938 and October 1939.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After earning 11 points in the first five matchdays of this season (W3 D2), Torino collected only four in the next eight (W1 D1 L6); no team has collected fewer points in Serie A since the start of MD6 (level with Venezia).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino and Napoli are two of the five teams to record four victories by a one goal margin this league season (along with Fiorentina, Inter and Udinese), only Lazio (5) boast more such wins in this Serie A season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have kept eight clean sheets so far, fewer only than Juventus (10) in the big five European leagues this season; in particular, the Partenopei have only conceded one goal in the first half away from home (against Inter), no team has done better (one also for Lazio, Lille and Real Madrid).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alessandro Buongiorno - who grew up in the youth ranks of Torino, as well as having made his first 99 appearances, with four goals, in Serie A with the Granata - intercepted 57 balls in 2024, among players in the big five European leagues only Rocco Reitz (58) of Borussia Mönchengladbach has done so more often.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Antonio Sanabria has scored a goal in three of his last four appearances against the Partenopei in Serie A, including the two matches between Torino and Napoli last season. Indeed, should he score, Napoli will be the side against which he’s scored against most often in Serie A for Torino (3 currently).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Romelu Lukaku has been involved in nine goals (5goals, 4 assists) against Torino in Serie A, against no other team has he been involved in more goals in the competition (9 also against Genoa). Indeed, should he start against the Granata, the Belgian would be starting his 350th game in Europe`s big five leagues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FABBRI (BRESMES – DEI GIUDICI) IV: FELICIANI, VAR: MERAVIGLIA, AVAR: MARINI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Genoa-Torino (saturday 7 december, 15.00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli-Lazio (sunday 8 december, 20.45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;
