Napoli dominated the game from the beginning to the end, Napoli did not win. I was really surprised that Napoli was unable to stop Torino from equalizing in three minutes after they had taken the lead. Given that Torino has just two short on target, while Napoli has eight. Napoli has a greater chance of winning the match. Even though Torino is now ranked tenth in the league, I was not expecting the game to end in a draw because Napoli need the three points to move ahead of Atlanta. I am really disappointed with the outcome. Since Napoli is already losing an important points, I don't think they will finish in the top four this season to qualify for the next Champions League.

After Napoli's recent victory over Juventus, I thought it will be easy to beat Torino at home. In their last three games, Torino has not won any of them, and their goal differential is zero. Napoli's current play this season will not get them anywhere; they have a new coach, so we expect their strength to be greater than this. Since all of the players are fit to play, they should have no problem in winning their games.

Napoli wasted the opportunity to move up the rankings again, the match against Torino should have been easy, because previously they played well when they met Juventus. Maybe Napoli cannot be completely trusted this season, betting on their victory is quite risky and requires a lot of consideration.

Playing with his best squad, in front of his own supporters, and again failing to get closer to the top four. 8 draws and 8 defeats in 28 matches, personally I think Napoli will miss the Champions League next season. It has been very difficult to finish in the top four, with inconsistent performance.

On the other hand, this is a big opportunity for Napoli to overtake Atalanta, where Atalanta will face Juventus tomorrow. I predicted Atalanta would lose points, but unfortunately Napoli failed to take advantage of the opportunity even though they did not lose to Torino. As defending champions, Napoli should be able to finish in the top four of the standings.

This season, Napoli's strength cannot be relied on, they can win and lose games together. The way Napoli has performed this season has really make me surprise. I was wondering if this is the same team and the players that won the Seria A championship previous season, because this did not seem like a winning squad. Napoli has only won 12 of the 28 games they have played since the season began. At this point, I would expect Napoli to be in the top four, but they keep dropping important points against weak teams. If they had managed to secure the three points against Torino, they would have 46 points at this moment, but they were unable to maintain the three points in three minutes after taken the lead.

Even though Juventus defeated Atlanta in today's match, I don't think Napoli will have an advantage over Atlanta to move up to the sixth place because their next two games are against Atlanta and Inter Milan, two tough opponents. Given Inter Milan's good performance so far this season, I don't think Napoli will win any of their next two games. Because Atlanta, on the other hand are not weak opponent.
