Wednesday's 2015-2016 Serie A season games will be concluded by a high-profile match between SSC Napoli (10-2-5, 35 points) and Torino FC (6-6-4, 22 points) at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples.
Napoli had just bounced back from back-to-back winless efforts as it romped Atalanta, 3-1, at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in Bergamo on December 20, as per SkySports.
None other than resident striker Gonzalo Higuaín led Maurizio Sarri's men with a brace in the 62nd and 85th minutes to seal the victory for Napoli.
The game was goalless in the first half of play until Gli Azzurri midfielder Marek Hamsik netted a penalty kick at the 52nd minute. Two minutes later, Atalanta midfielder Alejandro Gomez knotted the count for the last time before Higuaín's onslaught.
Meanwhile, Torino was upset by lowly team Udinese, 0-1, at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino also on December 20, as reported by Soccerway.
Udinese striker Stipe Perica scored the lone goal of the match four minutes before the halftime break as Bianconeri Friuliani also managed to protect their lead even when defender Molla Wague was sent off at the 64th minute.
It was the fourth winless try of Giampiero Ventura's boys in their last six outings to drop them to 11th place in the league table.
The predicted result is a blowout 3-1 victory for Napoli. I Ciucciarelli is projected to start a new winning run against the struggling Il Toro.
Napoli starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Reina; Soderlund, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Maggio, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuaín, Insigne
