Last
Wednesday, on the 18th
of October the fans of Inter Milan were celebrating sad anniversary.
Twenty years ago on this day Inter had managed to win over Napoli for
the last time at its famous arena San Paolo:
18th
of October 1997. Napoli-Inter – 0:2 (Galante, Turrini (own goal));
Since
then, all calendar matches of the current leaders of the Champions
League’s race in Naples ended either with the victories of the
hosts or with draws (5 last matches also):
05.05.2013.Napoli–
Inter – 3:1 (Cavani 3 – Álvarez);
15.12.2013.
Napoli– Inter – 4:2 (Higuaín, Mertens, Džemaili, Callejón –
Cambiasso, Nagatomo);
08.03.2015.
Napoli– Inter – 2:2 (Hamšík, Higuaín – Palacio, Icardi);
30.11.2015.
Napoli– Inter – 2:1 (Higuaín 2 – Ljajić);
02.12.2016.
Napoli– Inter – 3:0 (Zieliński, Hamšík, Insigne);
Napoli
(the head coach Maurizio Sarri)
We
doubt that at the beginning of the current season the fans of
football can imagine that according to 8 rounds the club from Naples
will become the only leader of the tournament bracket.
But
nevertheless, the fact remains! At 8 last matches the team of
Maurizio Sarri had won over Verona, Atalanta, Bologna, Benevento,
Lazio, SPAL, Cagliari and Roma with the total score 26:5. Now the
leader of the champions’ race has 24 points (100% result) and the
main rival Inter has 22 points.
Inter
Milan (the head coach Luciano Spalletti)
It
is obvious that now for all fans of nerazzurri the main fact is the
possibility of finishing 20 years long series without victories in
Naples. One pre match interview of the head coach of Inter given by
Spalletti declared that the forthcoming match at San Paolo was the
center match of the first round.
In
case of such wanted and long-waited victory the black and blues will
not only break 20 years series without victories but also will become
the only leaders of the champions’ race.
Match
prediction
Who
is the favorite of the forthcoming center match of the 9th
round? According to bookmakers these are the hosts of San Paolo. But
now you shouldn’t forget about the fact that three days ago Azzurri
had played really energy taking away match against Manchester City
and had lost their best forward Lorenzo Insigne. But Inter had come
to Naples in its best squad and is ready to fight for the long-waited
victory.
Napoli
