After losing 2-1 to Como last weekend, Antonio Conte’s Napoli risk dropping form in their Serie A title charge as they face Inter Milan on Saturday evening in a tight top of the table encounter.
Inter Milan lead the Serie A title race by just a point ahead of Napoli, and three points ahead of third place Atalanta.
Inter managed to pick up six points in their past five league games (2 wins, 1 Loss, 2 draws). Despite that, they were able to at least secure a semi-final spot against rivals AC Milan in the Coppa Italia.
Their away form has come into question after earning a single point in their last three leaue matches, all of which were against Serie A’s big eight teams (Juventus, Fiorentina and AC Milan).
Napoli on the other hand have only won one game from their previous four home games (1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss). Antonio Conte side have a record of one victory from 11 previous encounters against Inter Milan (4 draws, 6 losses)
Conte heads into the encounter as manager with a record of four wins and three draws, and has never went five Serie A matches without a win in his managerial career.
