Napoli vs Inter Milan Team News

Napoli had been on a humiliating eight-game winless run before their clash against lowly Sassuolo on the last match-day. Thankfully, they brought that depressing streak to a halt courtesy of a hard-fought 2-1 win on the road at Sassuolo.

The travelling supporters were sent into raptures as the referee brought the game to a close, as they headed home knowing that they had secured the three points safely in the bag.

Going behind very early in the game, the Parthenopeans must have thought it was another case of a disappointing loss on the road. However, the visitors rallied around in the second-half, bagging two important goals to seal the victory.

Gennaro Gattuso’s men have been underwhelming this season, occupying eighth position on the log even after 17 games. With 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses so far, it is fair to say these cluster of players have enjoyed better seasons in the past.

They have not been entirely convincing at the Stadio San Paolo this season, registering three wins, two draws and three defeats on this ground. They have averaged 1.25 goals per game whilst conceding a goal per bout.

Following a poor run of form in the league which included a stalemate against Roma and a one-all draw at Fiorentina, Inter Milan appear to have changed gears. They smashed Genoa 4-0 on the last match-day with in-form striker Lukaku bagging two goals in the process.

Gagliardini and wonderkid Esposito also got in amongst the act, to bring their team right back on track. With 13 wins, three draws and a single loss all season, the Nerazzurri sit at the summit of the standings, level on points with Juventus.

However, spotting a much better goal difference than the reigning champions, Inter Milan have made the Serie A top spot their own.

With these cluster of players spotting the best away record in the league with seven wins and one draw the entire season, the visiting contingent are expected to come away with all three points from this encounter.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Napoli: Kevin Malcuit, Faouzi Ghoulam, Lorenzo Tonelli, Kalidou Koulibaly, Nikola Maksimovic.

Inter: Kwadwo Asamoah, Danilo D'Ambrosio.
