Serie A weekend, Napoli-Roma could benefit Inter
The Napoli-Roma clash is the round’s key fixture: Inter and Lazio have a chance to gain ground in the race at the top.
The next Serie A round puts Napoli-Roma at the centre of attention. The match could alter the balance at the top of the table and give Inter and Lazio the chance to increase their margin over their direct rivals, provided they make the most of their respective fixtures.
For the Nerazzurri, the schedule brings the match against Fiorentina at San Siro on Sunday, October 25, at 12:30. Cristian Chivu’s team reaches the appointment after two wins: a 3-1 victory away to Bologna in the league and a 1-0 home success against Shakhtar in the Champions League, secured on October 21. The previous European result was the 4-3 home defeat to Club Brugge on October 13.
The match against Fiorentina will therefore be Inter’s next concrete test, before the trip to Venezia on October 28 at 18:30 and the derby against Milan, scheduled for October 31 at 20:45. Napoli-Roma’s result may affect the league picture, but the Nerazzurri must first confirm the form shown in their last two victories.
