Inter Milan has successfully extended their hopes of becoming a candidate for the Serie A title this season by bagging six wins in the last seven league matches. Two of them were inscribed in a row before the World Cup break, against Bologna (6-1) and Atalanta (3-2).
The only failure to win points occurred when they faced Juventus in early November 2022. The tight competition in the top five positions has kept the Nerazzurri stuck in fifth place with goals equal to Lazio who are above them, but trails behind in goal difference.
Even though they are 11 points adrift from the top of the standings occupied by Napoli, Simone Inzaghi’s camp still has a chance to win the league as long as they are able to carve maximum results in the second half of this season.
Moreover, Inter have looked fierce by winning the last five home games and conceding only one goal in that period.
However, Inter’s solid defense at home will face a tough test when they host Napoli, the most prolific club with 37 goals in 15 matches. Thirteen wins and two draws have also succeeded in bringing the Partenopei to the top of the current standings with an eight point advantage over AC Milan who are in second place.
It doesn’t seem like an exaggeration if Napoli’s hopes are getting soared to be able to become the Scudetto for the first time since 1989/1990. Of course dreams will come true if Luciano Spalletti’s side manage to maintain their consistency until the end of the season.
The problem is, in head-to-head Napoli have not managed to win in the last six league meetings against Inter. Even Inter Milan have also dominated the victory against Napoli in the last four seasons in Serie A, which is their best record since January 2011.
