INT Vs NAP Fantasy Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Winner of today’s showdown consolidates his place in second spot.
Bundled out of the Champions League once again, for Antonio Conte, winning the Serie A has now become a matter of period. Given his inability to shrug off his howler of a form in Europe, the Italian will be extremely eager to redeem himself with the glistening trophy this season.
And despite his horrendous showing in Europe, Conte has been terrific with Inter Milan in Serie A this season. Things didn’t quite unfold in the manner he would have envisioned with the side failing to win ties but the side has managed to successfully overhaul that tepid touch with four successive wins.
Easing their way into second place with the remarkable set of results, Inter Milan have once again earned the moniker of outright favourites for this season’s title. It’s a nomenclature which will be out under serios threat today when they faceoff against third placed Napoli.
INT Vs NAP Fantasy Probable Winner
One of the most progressive sides in the league this season, Napoli who sit on a three match winning run are just the one point adrift of Inter Milan. They’ll be propelled by the proposition of easing above their adversaries with a win today, a prize which will see them come out hammer and tongs on the day.
We have a ripper on our hands today, one where Inter Milan’s defence should just about hand the club a win in.

Fantasy Team Picks
Goal-Keeper
Samir Handanovic from Inter Milan will be our pick as the goal-keeper for this tie. He’s rifled his way through to a slew of saves, ones he’s pulled off owing to his knowhow of the game.
Defenders
We will be partnered alongside Alessandro Bastoni while Napoli on the other hand will find representation in a partnership. The club’s consummate success this season has been massively down to their new found perseverance and grit at the back, one given birth to by Konstantinos Manolas and Giovanni di Lorenzo.
Midfielders
Hirving Lozano is yet to hit the constant patch of form which makes him a mainstay of his side’s backline but its his ability to explode which sees us opt for him. The side’s top scorer, he’s always scored in bunches of two to pull off 6 goals.
Four goal and two assist man, Lorenzo Insigne will slot in nicely next to him with Fabian Ruiz Pena wrapping up the trivalent of picks from the side. Inter Milan on the other hand will see us venture in with Nicolo Barella, a player whose ability to square the ball to his counterparts has seen him pull off four assists.
Strikers
With 4 goals, Dries Mertens will complete the basket of attacking selections from Napoli. Juventus on the other hand will as ever see their strike partnership of 9 goal man Romelu Lukaku and five goal man Lautaro Martinez feature in our setup.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Inter Milan’s top scorer, Romelu steps in as our captain while Mertens is the vice-captain.
