Serie A: Two participants who have played fine thus far. Prepare for Napoli - Inter with this thorough preview!
- Napoli have the most scored goals (70) in Serie A
- Inter is in the best form (5-0-1) in Serie A
Napoli are already the Serie A winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Napoli form and stats
Napoli have performed here at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this season with 12 wins from 17 Serie A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 2.

Until that defeat this club had gone six consecutive league matches without a defeat. Midfield player Zieliński got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, the max score being 10. Zieliński hit six key passes and had 58 successful passes (of 63 total).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Fiorentina in a game that was won 1-0.It should be taken into account that a peek at the 15 most recent league fixtures shows that 12 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).
Goals decide football matches and Napoli are scoring many of them at home; 35 on target from 17 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
