Wednesday’s gutting penalty shoot-out defeat by Atletico Madrid was a huge blow to Inter, who as well as cruising to the league championship, were gunning for another deep run in Europe’s top club competition. But there is still plenty to play for as with a 16-point lead over AC Milan with 10 games remaining Inter just need five more wins to seal the title and pip their local rivals to 20 league crowns.

Napoli are Inter’s only real test between now and the next time they face local rivals AC Milan, and the champions’ bleak season took another bad turn with their elimination at the hands of a less-than-stellar Barcelona. Francesco Calzona’s side are seventh and 31 points behind Inter, while also trailing by seven Bologna, who continue their bid for a Champions League debut

H2H / Stats 

Burnley have seven wins, three draws and five defeats from their last 15 meetings with Brentford, but the Bees did secure a comfortable 3-0 victory in October when the pair played out their reverse league fixture.

Team News 

For the Nerazzurri, Simone Inzaghi will evaluate the conditions of his players after 120 minutes on Wednesday in Madrid. Sanchez might start upfront with Lautaro and Frattesi in midfield with Barella and Calhanoglu; therefore, Thuram and Mkhitaryan would be dropped to the bench. Dimarco and Dumfries will be the wing-backs, with Darmian ready to come on in the second-half. In defence, there will be Acerbi.

Ngonge is available for the Neapolitans and will start from the bench. In attack, Politano and Kvaratskhelia will play either side of Osimhen. Traorè might find a place in the midfield with Anguissa and Lobotka, Zielinski and Cajuste will be among the substitutes. Rrahmani will direct the defence. Olivera is ahead of Mario Rui in playing as left back.

Probable Line-Up

Inter XI: Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella,Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Dimarco; Sanchez, Lautaro Martinez.

Napoli XI: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus, Oliveira; Zambo Anguissa, Lobotka, Traorè; Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.

Verdict 

Inter Milan would want to wrap up the Serie A title as early as they can and beating Napoli will send a message of intent towards this dream. Napoli are doing badly and are expected to give a fight but in a parked San Siro, beating the hosts might be a tall order.
