Napoli aim to keep winning streak in Serie A with Inter Milan

Napoli will head to Inter Milan for a record 12th straight Serie A victory as action in Italy's top flight resumes after a seven-week break for the World Cup and festive season.


With fifth-placed Inter keen to claim one of the Champions League top four, they face a daunting challenge against Napoli, who had won 11 consecutive Serie A games in the season before the break.

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti will be determined to keep the momentum going as he can count on a strong squad for the showdown.

Another victory would allow Napoli to equal Juventus ' record for longest winning streak in the top flight achieved in 2017-18 .

Inter Milan, 11 points behind Napoli , will be without injured midfielder Marcelo Brozovic.

If AC Milan wants to continue to challenge Naples for the title, they cannot afford to make mistakes. Stefano Pioli's second-placed side are eight points behind the leaders and face mid-table Salernitana, who have won just one of their six Serie A meetings with Milan.
