Aiming to end their long goal drought and kick off 2024 with an overdue win, ailing Serie A champions Napoli visit mid-table Torino on Sunday afternoon.
The Partenopei last scored in mid-December and, like Toro, picked up just a point from their last two league games of 2023.
Both bosses were sent to the stands in the Scudetto holders' latest outing, in which they failed to find the net despite firing 25 shots at Michele Di Gregorio's goal, only adding to the frustration of their fans.
Making a tame defence of their title, Napoli have picked up a mere 28 points so far, and since their return to Serie A in 2007 only twice have they accrued fewer at this stage of the season - most recently in 2019-20.
Sitting eighth in the standings, albeit still very much in the race for a top-four finish, the Partenopei are already out of the title fight as they reach the midway point of their season.
