Inter Milan vs Napoli

, KO: 19:45 Mar 17, 2024, San Siro
Napoli

Inter Milan continue their dominant march towards the Serie A title as they welcome Napoli to San Siro on Sunday. The Nerazzurri have been almost unstoppable domestically and given their superb home record, should have the upper hand over Napoli.

Inter Milan will head into Sunday’s clash with some disappointment after crashing out of the Champions League in midweek. Following a 1-0 win in the first, they were beaten 2-1 in the return fixture at Atletico Madrid before losing on penalties.

With European distractions now out of the way, Inter Milan can turn their Full attention towards sealing the Serie A title in the coming weeks. Simone Inzaghi’s men claimed a 1-0 victory at Bologna last time out for their ninth straight Serie A win and are 16 points clear at the top of the standings.

Most of Inter Milan’s best work is usually done at San Siro, which is yet to taste defeat this season. Some of their heaviest wins have come at home as a 4-0 victory over Atalanta is among their recent results in front of their fans.

Napoli also endured some Champions League disappointment after crashing out to Barcelona in midweek. They failed to build on a 1-1 draw in the first meeting and were beaten 3-1 in the second leg on Tuesday.

Their exit from Europe means Napoli are heading towards a trophyless campaign as they are also out of the Coppa Italia while being 21 points behind Inter Milan. They are unbeaten in their last five Serie A matches but were held to a 1-1 draw with Torino in their previous fixture.

Napoli have also struggled on their travels, claiming just one win from their last nine away matches across all competitions. However, that win was a 6-1 victory at Sassuolo in their previous fixture on the road.
