Inter Milan hosts Napoli in round 12 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 16th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)
Antonio Conte runs the risk of being fired from the coaching bridge if he fails to keep his team in the leading group of the championship standings. Now Inter manages to do this, but the team's game characteristics leave much to be desired. The attacking line of the Milan club is the most efficient in the league (Lukaku tears everyone and everything), but the defense of the Black-and-Blues often makes unjustified mistakes. The personnel potential of modern Inter is considered one of the best in European football, and strong players do their work in all lines. Romelu Lukaku, who scored eight goals and gave two assists, stands apart in the Milan club. Such star performers as Martinez, Hakimi, Barella, Vidal, De Vrij, and Bastoni help the Belgian.

In the previous season, the Neapolitans rather suffered than tackled the tournament tasks. Now Gattuso's men claim the champion’s title and demonstrate excellent football. The young coach showed his skills in mediating conflicts within the team. The club successfully played in the Europa League group stage, where it competed with Real Sociedad for the leadership in the quartet until the last round. All the leaders, whom the press predicted a quick parting with the Neapolitans, remained in the team (Coulibaly, Ruiz, and Milik). Such players as Zielinski, Mertens, Insigne, Lozano, and Maksimovic have gained good shape. The newcomers gradually adapt to Napoli’s style. These are Osimhen and Bakayoko, as well as Petagna and Rrahmani who returned from loan.
The upcoming game will be as pragmatic and careful as possible, given the equal status of the teams and their ability to play defense first. Inter looks like a more coaching team with an individual approach to each opponent. Gattuso’s Napoli always acts in its own style. It prefers an aggressive game in the attack and very organized actions in the center of the field, where the triangle of Zielinski, Ruiz, and Bakayoko is distinguished by its efficiency. We are looking forward to a competitive match with a small number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored
