Where Inter Milan and Napoli face off in a fierce derby

The Serie A title race is as interesting as it gets, as practically five teams still harbour hopes for the Scudetto.

Some are in better positions, some need to grind to keep their chances alive, but today's derby clash between Inter Milan and Napoli could significantly help the remaining contenders, AC Milan, AS Roma, and Juventus, especially if the Neapolitans win, or - in the best-case scenario - the two giants draw.

However, before Cristian Chivu and Antonio Conte's men run out onto the pitch of Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (22.45), the Rossoneri will play their duel of the 20th round against Fiorentina (17.00) on the road.

The Viola have experienced unprecedented struggles this season, winning their maiden Serie A match on December 21, and are currently sitting in the penultimate league place.

Nevertheless, Milan barely avoided a home defeat against another relegation-struggler, Genoa, three days ago, so the eventual victory against the Florence side cannot be taken for granted.

As for the derby mentioned above, Inter have a four-point advantage over Napoli and currently top the Serie A table. They haven't lost a league game since November 23, and the defeat in the Derby della Madonnina, and their confidence is as high as it gets.

Yet, if anyone can beat the Nerazzurri, it's Napoli, which haven't lost to the Milan side since January 2024. The unexpected draw against Hellas Verona four days ago did shake them a bit, but there's no doubt they'll put up a good fight tonight.
