Napoli and Torino have faced off in Naples 79 times before. There have been 32 Napoli wins (most recently 2-0 in Serie A 2024/25), 35 draws (the last being 1-1 in Serie A 2023/24) and 12 Torino victories (the most recent 1-2 in Serie A 2008/09).
Torino haven't beaten Napoli in Naples since Rolando Bianchi and Alessandro Rosina sealed a 2-1 win on 17 May 2009, after Inacio Pia's opener for the Azzurri. Since then, there have been eight home wins and five draws on Napoli soil.
Napoli come into this match with four points fewer than at the same stage of last season.
Antonio Conte's side have now gone nine matches in all competitions without keeping a clean sheet, letting in 16 goals in the process. The last time they went 90 minutes without conceding was on 17 January (Napoli 1-0 Sassuolo in Serie A).
Napoli have given away more penalties than any other team in the 2025/26 Serie A season (eight).
Torino currently have 30 points. They haven't had fewer at this stage of the season since 2020/21, when after 27 matches they had managed just 24.
Verona (48) are the only team to have conceded more goals than Torino (47) in Serie A this season.
Antonio Conte and Roberto D'Aversa are facing off for the sixth time as coaches. In the five previous meetings Conte has won four and drawn one, with his teams always scoring (10 in total).
Having spent most of the season on the sidelines, Romelu Lukaku scored his first goal of the campaign against Verona last weekend – his first since Napoli beat Cagliari 2-0 on 23 May 2025 to secure the club's fourth Scudetto title.
The Belgian thus became the 17th Napoli player to find the target in the current Serie A season. Only Juventus (18) have had more different names on the score sheet this term, with Atalanta also on 17.
Former Napoli striker Giovanni Simeone netted his sixth of the campaign against Lazio – his first since Torino's 3-0 defeat of Verona on 4 January 2026. It was also his 11th career goal against the capital club, the team he has scored against most often by far, ahead of Juventus, Torino and Roma (six) and Napoli, Venezia and Bologna (five).
Another ex-Azzurri player, Duvan Zapata, was also on target against Lazio - his second league goal of the season, after Torino 2-3 Milan on 8 December 2025. Aged 34, he is the oldest player fielded by Torino this season.
