Inter Milan travel to Naples and will be hoping to cement a spot in next season’s Champions League on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri are third in the league with 66 points; one point above Atalanta who sit fourth and four points above Roma and AC Milan. A win would see them secure a top four position.
Luciano Spalletti’s side are unbeaten in seven game with three wins and four draws after a comfortable 2-0 win over Chievo Verona at San Siro last weekend with goals coming from Ivan Perisic and Matteo Politano.
Napoli sit second with 76 points and are already guaranteed to finish as the runner-up once again.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team have won their last three outings, scoring two goals in each of those wins; most recently a 2-1 win over SPAL as Allan and Mario Rui were on the scoresheet.
The earlier meeting between the two sides finished 1-0 for Inter thanks to Lataruo Martinez’s lone goal. There has been a clean sheet in each of the last seven meetings between the teams.
Inter head to Naples winless in nine games at the Stadio San Paolo in league play.
Team news
Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens are set to return to the lineup after missing out in the win over SPAL. Vlad Chiriches, Adam Ounas, Nikola Maksimovic, and Amadou Diawara are ruled out with injuries.
Spalletti will be without Sime Vrsaljko while Stefan de Vrij is doubtful. Marcelo Brozovic and Danilo D’Ambrosio are available after missing out with suspensions.
Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples. The game will be streamed in Canada on DAZN with a subscription.
