Stadio Diego Armando Maradona sets the stage for a high-stakes Serie A showdown between Napoli and Inter Milan this weekend.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the visitors boast one critical edge over their rivals heading into Saturday’s fixture.

Cristian Chivu’s men head into proceedings on the back of seven consecutive wins in all competitions.

Furthermore, the San Siro giants have won their last three league games following back-to-back defeats to Udinese and Juventus.

Meanwhile, Napoli have hit a rough patch, with Antonio Conte’s side losing twice in a row.

One Stat Favors Inter Milan Over Napoli

Inter boast a five-game unbeaten streak against Napoli, racking up two wins and three draws in that period.

However, the sides shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw in this corresponding fixture last season.

On the other hand, there’s a good omen for the Nerazzurri.

Indeed, they have only lost one of their last 12 Saturday-held clashes against the Partenopei.

Inter won five of the other 11 meetings, with the remaining six ending all square.
