The Serie A match between Napoli and Inter Milan will take place at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Monday at 1:30 am IST.
In the midst of challenging schedules, Napoli and Inter Milan clash at Stadio Maradona, with an eight-point gap in the Serie A standings, setting the stage for Sunday evening’s encounter. Inter maintained their Serie A lead, securing a draw against Juventus in the Derby d’Italia and staging a comeback against Benfica in the Champions League. Napoli, under Walter Mazzarri’s second stint, secured an initial victory but faced a setback against Real Madrid.
Under Walter Mazzarri, Napoli began the new era impressively with a 2-1 win over Atalanta, reducing the Serie A gap to Inter to eight points. Mazzarri, back after his 2013 stint, aims to build on this success. In a Champions League clash, Real Madrid, led by former Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti, defeated them 4-2. While securing a fifth consecutive UEFA group phase progression, Napoli eyes further success. Facing Inter and Juventus before the group finale against Braga, Napoli’s strong home record against Inter bodes well as they seek to narrow the gap in the standings.
Inter has dominated recent encounters with Napoli, winning five of the last eight league meetings, but their successes were mostly on home turf. Although defeated 3-1 in their last visit to Stadio Maradona, Inter’s fortunes have since improved, maintaining an unbeaten streak with eight wins. Despite a recent draw against Juventus, they remain formidable. After a resilient comeback against Benfica, Inter, already qualified for the Champions League last 16, faces a challenging trip to Naples. While strong away, winning nine of their last 11 Serie A matches, their record at Stadio Maradona suggests a tougher test awaits them.
Napoli probable starting lineup: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Natan, Jesus, Anguissa, Lobotka, Elmas, Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia
Inter Milan probable starting lineup: Sommer, Darmian, De Vrij, Acerbi, Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco, Thuram, Martinez
