The Derby of the S

The Derby of the Sun greets Serie A this weekend with a clash of two storied clubs. Napoli, the Partenopei, welcome Torino, the Granata, to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli, under the guidance of Luciano Spalletti, is looking to continue their impressive start to the season. The Azzurri have won five of their six league matches, including a 4-0 triumph over Sampdoria last time out. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Piotr Zielinski have been in fine form for Napoli, and they will be key threats to the Torino defense.

Torino, on the other hand, has had a more mixed start to the campaign. The Granata have won three of their six matches, but they have also suffered two defeats. Ivan Juric's side will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Udinese last time out. Antonio Sanabria and Nemanja Radonjic will be Torino's main attacking threats.

The match between Napoli and Torino is always a fiercely contested one, and this weekend's clash is sure to be no different. Napoli will be looking to consolidate their position at the top of the table, while Torino will be looking to break into the top half.

Key Players to Watch

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli): The Georgian winger has been one of the breakout stars of the season so far. He has scored four goals in his first six Serie A matches, and he will be looking to add to his tally against Torino.

Antonio Sanabria (Torino): The Paraguayan striker is Torino's leading goalscorer this season with three goals. He is a physical presence in the box, and he will be looking to cause problems for the Napoli defense.

Prediction

Napoli is the clear favorite for this match, but Torino has shown that they are capable of beating anyone on their day. I expect Napoli to win 2-1.
