Prediction
Inter know a win will get them the Champions League
I Nerazzurri are more likely to allow their hosts more possession and hit them on the counter-attack, using the pace of Ivan Perisic and guile of Antonio Candreva out wide.
Despite the ten point advantage Napoli have, there is not much to choose between the two sides and the visitors should return to San Siro with their unbeaten run intact, although without all three points.
Prediction: Napoli 1-1 Inter
