Napoli v Inter Milan

Napoli vs Inter Milan Preview

Sunday evening's action in the Italian top flight has been reserved for this upcoming blockbuster fixture in Serie A between fourth placed Napoli and the league leaders, Inter Milan, when the two teams face off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with both teams looking to further consolidate their positions in the top four of the domestic top flight table and in Inter Milan's case, their ambitions of picking up a Scudetto title.

Napoli bring a valuable 2-1 win away from home at Atalanta last time out in Serie A into this upcoming clash on Sunday evening as the hosts return to home surroundings where Napoli will be desperate to improve upon some fairly disappointing results of late which has seen Walter Mazzarri's side claim just one win from their last five attempts.

That victory came in the form of a crushing and comprehensive 4-1 win against Udinese but having also slipped to three defeats within this five-match period, suffering losses at the hands of Lazio, Fiorentina and Empoli respectively, along with a 2-2 draw with AC Milan, Napoli have lost ground on the leading teams in the Serie A table.

Indeed, Napoli now trail Inter Milan by an eight-point margin and the hosts will also have one eye on the chasing pack now as well with the likes of Roma and Bologna just three points behind Mazzarri's side heading into this weekend's action.

Inter Milan extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to seven games last weekend when they earned a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Juventus which in turn helped maintain Inter's grip on top spot in the domestic top flight table where they hold a two-point lead over second placed Juventus.

Five wins within these last seven games have helped Inter retain their challenge for a possible league title as Simone Inzaghi's side have collected victories against Salernitana, Torino, Roma, Atalanta and Frosinone, while the bigger picture shows Inter Milan have lost just once so far in this season's Serie A campaign which came in the form of a 2-1 loss at home to Sassuolo.

Results away from home though this term have been impeccable as Inter have picked up five wins and a draw in their six outings on the road to date and the visitors have also scored at least once in every league match so far this season as well.

Napoli v Inter Milan Verdict

Napoli's indifferent to poor form on home soil in recent weeks suggests a home win here for the hosts looks fraught with danger and although Inter Milan have produced a strong run of results on the road this term, Napoli will nevertheless be up for this clash.

The goals market therefore appeals here as four of the last five meetings have seen both teams score and this trend looks set to continue on Sunday night.
