SSC Napoli Team Analysis
Despite leading the league for long periods this season, Napoli have dropped to second place. Their drop resulted from their failure to pick up maximum points in their last four games. Following their 2:1 win against Juventus, Napoli has only managed to grab three points from a possible 12.
Their ability to remain in contention largely depends on Inter’s inability to secure maximum points from their last four league games. Gli Azzurri still has a chance to go back to the league summit. However, they must defeat Inter to achieve this objective.

David Neres, Zambo Anguissa, and Pasquale Mazzocchi are injured.
Possible starting lineup: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno; Politano,Lobtka, Billing, McTominay, Spinazzola; Raspadori, Lukaka.
