The big match of the eighth round of Serie A will definitely be Napoli-Inter. Once again, two teams that last season battled for a long time for the Scudetto will face each other, and in this championship too, they seem destined—with more competition—to duel for the top of the standings. The match will be played on Saturday 25/10 at 18:00 at the Maradona stadium (HERE FOR INFO ON WHERE TO WATCH THE MATCH).

For this highly anticipated match, the Nerazzurri coach Cristian Chivu must decide which rotations to make after the Champions League commitments, with Bonny who seems ready to return alongside Lautaro for this clash in Naples. The former Inter coach, Antonio Conte, instead hopes to recover Hojlund, who is currently doubtful due to a physical problem.

Below are the probable lineups for Napoli-Inter:
