In the 25th round of Serie A, Napoli hosts Inter Milan, and both sides must strive to win. If Napoli wins, it will continue to retain the hope of winning the title, and if it loses, it will be pulled apart by the Milan duo. If Inter win, they will consolidate the top position, the hope of defending the title is greatly increased, if they lose, it will give Napoli and AC Milan hope and morale. What if it were tied? That nature is cheaper AC Milan.
Judging from the historical head-to-head record, Napoli is in the ascendant, with 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 meetings with Inter, and the last 4 times in Serie A against Inter 1 draw and 3 losses. Judging from the recent record, Napoli is stronger than Inter, Napoli has won 3 consecutive games in serie A in the last 3 rounds, Inter has won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last round of Serie A, and lost 1:2 at home to Milan in the last round.

Napoli started 4231, Ospina/Mario Rui, Koulibaly, Lamani, Di Lorenzo/Lobotka, Fabian Ruiz/Insigne, Zelinski, Politano/Osmaine.
The total value of the starting eleven is not much different between the two sides, with Inter 380 million euros and Napoli 340 million euros. Both sides are attacking with the strongest lineups.
Full-court data, Napoli 14 shots 4 shots on target, Inter 6 shots 2 on target, the possession rate of Napoli 48%, Inter 52%, from the data point of view, Inter is still at a disadvantage.
Shortly after the opening, Osmayne was tripped by Devry in the Inter penalty area, and the referee was confirmed by VAR to award a penalty, and Napoli took the lead early because of Signe's main penalty.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Inter equalised and Dzeko scored.
Judging from the course of the game, Napoli had a chance to win, but either did not grasp it or was heroically resolved by Handanovic. Inter, on the other hand, did not play the standard of the championship team, and it was a fluke to be able to catch a draw away from home.
In the serie A standings, Inter milan still occupies the top spot with 54 points in 24 games, Napoli ranks second with 53 points in 25 games, Milan ranks third with 52 points in 24 games, and Juve ranks fourth with 45 points in 24 games.
1 point ahead of the second seat in the 1 round of the less round, Inter still grasps the initiative to compete for the championship, but then it is difficult to say, and then lose points, the top position may not be guaranteed at any time. Napoli, Inter Milan drew, of course, the profit is AC Milan, as long as the home defeat of Sampdoria in this round, you can accumulate 55 points to the top of the Serie A table in the case of one round more than Inter Milan.
Next, Inter Milan will also be distracted by the Champions League quarter-final battle against Liverpool, and AC Milan can focus on the first division without distraction.
Juve, who are nine points behind Inter, theoretically have the hope of winning the title. If the remaining 14 rounds of victory, Inter, Milan, Napoli 3 may lose points, and finally counterattack to win the championship, it is not impossible. After Vlahović joined, the current Juve have returned to the level of the top strong team.
