Serie A leaders Napoli resume their so-far successful season on Saturday afternoon, as they welcome Torino to Stadio Maradona.
While the hosts beat Milan just before the international break, with a win at San Siro keeping them top of the pile, mid-table Toro suffered their third loss in four matches.
We say: Napoli 2-0 Torino
Napoli can pick up where they left off, as they are by far the more potent side - even in Osimhen's absence - and tend to get the better of Torino on home turf.

Resuming their Serie A campaigns with a heavyweight encounter at San Siro, potential title rivals Inter Milan and Roma meet on Saturday evening.
On a rare day of setbacks for Italy's top teams just before the international break, both sides lost, so will be keen to take three points and keep pace with the early pace-setters.
We say: Inter Milan 1-0 Roma
In the first seven games of this Serie A season, Inter have netted 13 goals compared to 22 at this stage in 2021-22, while Roma have only eight this term - half of their tally this time last year. For all the attacking talent on display, this is set to be a cagey encounter, and the home side could steal it by a single goal.

Finally back in action a fortnight after their first defeat of the Serie A season, AC Milan aim for a return to winning ways when they visit Empoli on Saturday.
Following their loss to Napoli before the international break, the champions sit fifth in the standings, while their hosts finally managed to get off the mark with a win last time out.
We say: Empoli 0-1 AC Milan
Having kept a relatively good defensive record due to a series of low-scoring draws, Empoli are no pushovers this season, for all their ongoing struggles. Therefore, Milan may win by a single goal at the Castellani.
