On Sunday night, reigning Italian champions Inter host Serie A leaders Napoli in one of the most eye-catching fixtures in the Italian top-flight this weekend.

INTER

The reigning Italian champions are third-place in the Serie A table, seven points behind Sunday night’s opponents who are top of the table. The Nerazzurri’s form has been mixed of late. However, Simon Inzaghi’s team are now unbeaten in four Serie A games after a 1-1 draw with arch-rivals Milan before the international break.

Their recent league games have been low-scoring and tight affairs, as their last four league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Inter are unbeaten in 22 home matches in Serie A, a record that dates back more than a year. The Nerazzurri have recorded a highly creditable 19 wins in the stellar home run.

Napoli

Luciano Spalletti are the early frontrunners in Serie A but will know they cannot afford any complacency to creep into their game. The Azzurri are unbeaten in the Italian top-flight this season but are only ahead of Inter’s arch-rivals Milan by virtue of a superior goal difference.

A 1-1 home draw against Verona before the international break ended a run of three straight wins for the visitors in all competitions.

Napoli are unbeaten in their previous ten away games in Serie A, having recorded nine wins in the process. The visitors have kept four clean sheets in their previous five away matches. They have also scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten Serie A matches on their travels.
