Inter Milan vs Napoli Preview

Inter host Napoli in this game with a clear intention of winning and toppling city rivals AC Milan.

Napoli will be looking for maximum points to help them keep their current position in the league table.

Inter are having an underwhelming season – they are currently 7^th with just 56 points from 33 games, 2 points behind  AC Milan.

They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and have only one win in their last 6 games.

At home they are even less convincing, a 7:1 win over Atalanta was followed up by a defeat and then a draw.

Napoli are flying high in Serie A this season.

The Naples club are currently 3^rd in the league table with 71 points and are unbeaten in their last 6 games, winning 4 and drawing 2.

Away from home, they have been deadly having won 3 out of their last 4 away games.

They have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 away matches.

Napoli scoring at will meeting an Inter Milan defence that is prone to conceding goals means that we could see a very open game with plenty of goals.

Inter (probable): Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Medel, Miranda, Nagatomo; Gagliardini, Kondogbia; Candreva, Joao Mario, Perisic; Icardi

Suspended: None

Napoli (probable): Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Strinic; Allan, Diawara, Hamsik; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne

Suspended: None
