On Saturday at 6pm, Inter has a crucial direct clash with Napoli at the Maradona stadium. In the last round of Serie A, Simone Inzaghi‘s Nerazzurri managed to overtake the Partenopei in the standings thanks to their home victory against Genoa and the subsequent defeat at Como of the Azzurri coached by former manager AntonioConte.

However, a point advantage of Inter is not decisive since there are still 12 matches left and even Atalanta has come close again. Nerazzurri coach Simone Inzaghi will have to achieve a good result in Napoli, overcoming several adversities such as numerousinjuries and a schedule full of other important commitments.

Then there is also the need to defeat aperformance that is not at all favourable to Inter when they play at the Maradona stadium. In the 2000s, the Nerazzurri played 18 league matches in Napoli and only twice were they able to win, with six draws and as many as ten defeats.

However, the most recent precedent can give hope toInzaghi and his team, as last year they came away with a clear 0-3 win with goals fromCalhanoglu, Barella and Thuram in one of the most complicated seasons in the recent history of the Campana team, which ended up in tenth place while Inter lifted its 20th league title.
