Two of the hottest teams in the 2015-2016 Serie A season are about to clash as second-running Napoli (8-1-4, 28 points) and current league leader Inter Milan (9-1-3, 30 points) square off at the Stadio San Paolo on November 30.
A win by Partenopei will boost them as the new league leaders with an additional three points in the overall standings, but Internazionale is keen on not letting it happen.
Napoli is coming off a 2-0 blanking of bottom-three club Hellas Verona at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi last Sunday, as reported by Reuters.
Striker Lorenzo Insigne and Gonzalo Higuaín provided the goals for Maurizio Sarri's side at the 67th and 73rd minutes respectively on the way to the impressive win.
Meanwhile, Inter was even more remarkable as it pulled off a 4-0 demolition of another bottom-three squad, Frosinone, at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro also last Sunday, as per Yahoo Sports.
Jonathan Biabiany, Mauro Icardi, Jeison Murillo, and Marcelo Brozovic netted a goal each at the 29th, 53rd, 87th, and 90th+2 minutes en route to the blowout victory.
With both teams undefeated in their last six matches, the momentum the two sides will bring in the match will surely make it highly-entertaining and an all-out war on Monday.
The predicted result is a tough 3-2 victory for Inter Milan. Both sides will pour in the goals, but Roberto Mancini's boys will squeak out a win.
Napoli starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Reina; Soderlund, Albiol, Chiriches, Ghoulam; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuaín, Insigne
Inter Milan starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Handanovic; Nagatomo, Miranda, Murillo, Alex; Melo, Kondogbia; Biabiany, Jovetic, Ljajic; Icardi
