What to watch during the game
Key match elements are embedded in the chosen formations: Napoli's three-man defence with Olivera introduced alongside Juan Jesus and Buongiorno; a midfield pairing designed to control transitions and supply the front three; and D'Aversa's faith in the exact XI that produced his first win suggests a focus on continuity and compactness. The duel between the Napoli wing-backs and Torino's supporting trio will likely shape opportunities for both sides.
Expect tactical adjustments from both benches as the game progresses. Conte's selection emphasizes attacking width and direct support for Hojlund, while Torino's confirmation of Simeone and Zapata up front indicates a plan to exploit physical presence and movement in the attacking third.
