Inter Milan and Napoli will look to put aside their European disappointments when they meet in an exciting matchup this week. San Siro in Milan will host this Serie A matchday 29 fixture on Sunday. The hosts are at the top of the table with 75 points, while the visitors are seventh with 44 points ahead of this round. Inter lost to Atletico Madrid and crashed out of the Champions League via penalties on Wednesday. That brought an end to their 13-game winning run, but the Nerazzurri are going strong in Serie A. They have a 16-point lead over their nearest rivals and look to be on course to win the title. The hosts have dropped points only three times across their last 22 league games, and all three were draws, further highlighting how strong they are in the league.

Napoli lost 3-1 to Barcelona on Tuesday and crashed out of the Champions League on a 4-2 aggregate score. That was their first defeat in seven matches in all competitions, where they won two and drew four matches. The loss could ironically be helpful, as the defending champions can now concentrate on reviving their European challenge domestically. They are currently three points off sixth place, the last spot that guarantees a place in the Conference League play-off rounds next year. Napoli may have revived their season under interim manager Francesco Calzona with a five-game unbeaten run in the league, but they face a tough task on this trip. Napoli have lost seven of their last 11 league matches against Inter, as well as the last five at this venue. The head-to-head losses includes a 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture and a 1-0 loss in the Supercoppa Italiana, both this season.
