Inter Milan v Napoli

Inter Milan vs Napoli Preview

The most attractive fixture being played over the weekend in the Italian top flight features this upcoming clash at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza between hosts and second placed Inter Milan and the Serie A league leaders Napoli in what promises to be an intriguing contest on Sunday night.

Inter Milan will be going in search of a third win on the trot in Serie A whilst also extending their unbeaten run in the domestic top flight to seven games overall as the hosts have put together a decent sequence of results in recent weeks.

Five wins within their last six games overall in Serie A suggest Inter Milan stand a decent chance of getting something out of this upcoming encounter especially as they have collected wins against Udinese, Torino, Roma, Empoli and Venezia in recent times.

Inter will be hoping that winning momentum can get them over the line on Sunday evening and the bigger picture shows the hosts have been a tough side to beat as Simone Inzaghi's side have been handed just the single defeat in their last 14 matches overall in the domestic top flight.

Goals may also feature as five out of Inter Milan's last 10 home games have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net as well.

Napoli sit top of the Serie A table heading into this final weekend of Italian top flight fixtures before the international break but with just a slender one-point cushion over their upcoming hosts, the visitors will be careful to avoid defeat here at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday night.

Napoli had previously strung together an impressive five-match winning streak in Serie A which consisted of picking up important victories against Monza, Como, Empoli, Lecce and AC Milan respectively, which had lifted the visitors at the summit of the division.

However, Napoli were dealt a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Atalanta which would have raised a few eyebrows and as this loss also put an end to a previously strong and solid nine-game unbeaten sequence as well, Antonio Conte's side will be eager to set the record straight against Inter Milan.

This may be easier said than done though as Napoli are not only facing the second placed team in the Italian top flight table away from home, but the visitors have also managed to capture just five wins from their last 17 outings on the road as well, whilst slipping to six defeats along the way.

Goals may feature though as Antonio Conte's side have scored in nine of their last 12 away games.
