On Sunday night, Serie A leaders Napoli face a test of their Scudetto credentials when Mauricio Sarri’s side travel to the San Siro to take on Inter.

The home side are in the thick of the race for the Champions League spots, fifth in the Italian top-flight and just a point behind fourth-place Lazio.

The Nerazzurri’s recent form has been inconsistent, as Luciano Spalletti’s side have won just two of their last 11 games in Serie A. In their last league game, the home side recorded a 2-0 win over Benevento.

The home side’s recent league games have been very low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last nine outings in Serie A.

Inter are unbeaten in their last five Serie A games at home, having won their last two league games at the San Siro. They have also lost just one of their last 15 matches on home soil in the Italian top-flight. Their recent home games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals in four of their last five outings.

Napoli are currently top of the Serie A table but are just a point ahead of champions Juventus, who have played a game less in the Italian top-flight.

A shock 4-2 home defeat against Roma in their last league game ended a ten-match winning run in Serie A. The team from Naples will hope the defeat was just a blip.

The visitors have been relatively prolific in recent Serie A games, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six games in the Italian top-flight.

Sarri’s side are away specialists in Serie A, having won 15 of their last 16 games on the road in the Italian top-flight.

Forebet predicts that Napoli’s strong away record will continue with an away win in a high scoring encounter.
