The wait is almost over. On Saturday at 6:00 PM CET, the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium will host a top-of-the-table clash between Napoli and Inter, a match that could shape the Serie A title race. Following last weekend’s results, the Nerazzurri arrive as league leaders, holding a one-point advantage over Antonio Conte’s side.
For Inter, this is a golden opportunity: a win would extend their lead to four points, setting up the first real breakaway of the season. Napoli, however, finds itself in a tough spot, having gone four games without a victory. To make matters worse, Anguissa and Neres will be missing from Conte’s squad for this crucial showdown.
A key spectator will be Atalanta, as Gasperini’s men take the field earlier on Saturday at 3:00 PM CET against Venezia, just before the Maradona battle. Fresh off a 5-0 demolition of Empoli, Atalanta is now only three points behind Inter and just two behind Napoli. With Venezia struggling in penultimate place, this fixture presents a perfect chance for La Dea to apply pressure on their title rivals.
