Napoli is sure to be ranked second in the Serie A season, and Carlo Ancelotti’s team is due with Inter Milan (3rd place) in the penultimate stage of the championship. The hosts will line up more reserves at the start, while Inter fights for the podium and comes to attack.
Vlad Chiriches is injured and will not be able to evolve against the Milanese, to which Vrsaljko and De Vrij are uncertain. Napoli has won four of the last five rounds and has a valuable bout, but Ancelotti will use more reserves against Inter, which could ease the guest’s mission.
Without defeat in seven championship matches, Inter would secure the qualification in the upcoming UEFA Champions League event, in case of success on San Paolo. The Milanese failed to score in the previous two visits to Napoli, but Spalletti’s team was forced to score 1-0, thanks to a goal scored by Lautaro Martinez, overtime. Before the duel on Giuseppe Meazza, the previous two direct parties brought white draws, being tact-maximized.
This time, we expect an exuberant game of the guests, but also a relaxed approach of the hosts. Given that Insignia and Mertens will be missing from Napoli’s camp, Inter has an extra chance at points and odds are still very generous. Visitor motivation is undisputed, and Spalletti will use the best “11” possible on Sunday. Napoli lost only two stages on its own in the current season, while Inter has 9 wins in 18 away games in Serie A.
PROBABILY TEAMS IN NAPOLI – INTER:
Napoli: Meret – Koulibaly, Luperto, Mario Rui, Malcuit – Zielinski, Allan, F. Ruiz, Callejon, Milik
Inter: Handanovic – Soares, Miranda, Skriniar, Asamoah, Nainggolan, Politano, Borja Valero, Vecino, Perisic, Icardi
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,56
