Overview
- Serie A leaders Inter face Napoli at San Siro tonight in a match widely viewed as pivotal to the title race.
- Multiple outlets report Inter will keep continuity, with a Bisseck–Akanji–Bastoni back line, Zielinski in midfield, and Lautaro Martínez with Marcus Thuram up front.
- Napoli arrive short-handed, with Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Billy Gilmour out, and Rasmus Hojlund cited as their only fully fit forward.
- Italian media make Inter favorites based on a six-game league winning run, a league-best 40 goals, and an unbeaten home league run against Napoli since April 2017.
- Elsewhere, Milan visit relegation-threatened Fiorentina aiming to trim the three-point gap to Inter, and Roma’s 2-0 win over Sassuolo moved them level with Milan and three off the top.
