Napoli’s Predicted Line-up Against Inter Milan in the Serie a Derby

Napoli looks to regain the top spot in Serie A tonight as they welcome the visit of defending champions Inter Milan. Here are the predicted line-ups for the derby.

Inter lost the Milan Derby last week and are now just one point behind their Rossoneri city rivals and Napoli. Meanwhile, The Partenopei won at Venezia 2-0. It was their fourth consecutive league victory.

Following a destabilizing period plagued by injury and illness, in which they won only two of their nine games, Napoli has now won each of their last four Serie A matches. This has put Luciano Spalletti’s side, unexpectedly right back in the title race.

Key to the success is Gli Azzurri’s defense. It has remained the most difficult in Serie A. Their impressive 16 goals conceded record towers even over Inter’s 19.

Inter has been a strong force since their win over Napoli at San Siro late last year. They have only suffered their first league loss for nearly four months when Olivier Giroud’s brace helped decide Derby della Madonnina. However, there is a growing sense that some of the momentum of Simone Inzaghi’s team is dissipating.

Predicted line-ups

Napoli predicted line-up: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Rui; Lobotka, Ruiz; Politano, Zielinski, Insigne; Osimhen

Inter Milan predicted line-up: Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, D’Ambrosio; Darmian, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic; Martinez, Dzeko
