Napoli vs Inter Milan preview: Hit the net with our 1,000th live stream
Antonio Conte has confounded critics to lead Inter Milan to within touching distance of the Serie A title
Inter Milan will hunt a 10th straight Serie A victory as the Nerazzurri look to continue their charge towards a famous Scudetto at Napoli this evening.Â
Antonio Conte’s men have been outstanding in recent weeks and are primed to end their 11-year wait for Serie A glory.Â
However, they are sure to face a stern examination from Gennaro Gattuso’s side, who still harbour strong hopes of a top-four finish.Â
The mouth-watering contest is available to watch for FREE on the LiveScore app this evening — a match that marks our 1,000th streamed clash.Â
Confident visitors
Inter head to Naples in good spirits, having won their last nine contests with a minimum of fuss — particularly catching the eye defensively.Â
With only four goals conceded in their last 11 outings, the pragmatic style of Conte that has been heavily scrutinised by the Italian media over the years appears to have been vindicated this term.Â
Speaking earlier this week, defender Milan Skriniar heaped praise on his manager’s level of focus as they close in on glory.Â
Skriniar, 26, said. "He [Conte] tells us every day that we need to work and complete each training session without thinking about how many games are left.
"We are still working hard to raise the bar even higher. We certainly never expected to have this kind of lead with eight games left."
Gattuso on the move?
Despite impressive form in recent weeks, Gennaro Gattuso's future at Napoli is in doubt
After surviving a rough patch in early February, Gattuso has his Napoli team firing on all cylinders — with the Partenopei winning seven of their last nine in Serie A and losing only once.Â
Yet surprisingly, a parting of ways could be on the cards come the end of the campaign, with reports in Italy continuing to link Gattuso with a switch to domestic rivals Fiorentina.Â
A breakdown in the relationship between owner and manager is thought to have taken place following an unexpected Europa League exit to Granada, prompting speculation that change is inevitable.Â
Whatever the case may be, securing Champions League qualification remains the immediate priority and the excellent recent run of results gives them a fighting chance.Â
Back within reach of AC Milan, Juventus and Atalanta and faced with a favourable run-in, Gattuso will be desperate to keep momentum going with a positive result against the champions-elect.Â
Did you know?
Inter are looking to win back-to-back Serie A trips to Napoli for the first time since 1997.Â
This is only the fifth time in Serie A history that Napoli have won 19 or more of their opening 30 matches. On the previous four occasions, they finished third or better.Â
Since 2016-17, six of the eight goals Inter have netted against Napoli have came from the duo of Romelu Lukaku (three) and Lauro Martinez (three).
