For the first time since the 2017/18 season Inter and Napoli have drawn two matches in a row in Serie A – two goalless games drawn in that case.
Napoli remained unbeaten in the last two matches played as leaders at the start of the matchday against Inter in Serie A (W1 D1), after two defeats in a row in matches of this type against the Nerazzurri.
Napoli have won only one of their last 11 games played against Inter in Serie A, drawing four and losing six in the process.
Napoli have won just one of their last 10 matches against Inter in Serie A - a 3-1 win, at Maradona, in May 2023, with goals scored by Anguissa, Di Lorenzo and Gaetano - drawing three of those (including the most recent one in March) and losing six in the process.
Napoli are the team against whom Inter have won the most home games in Serie A: 51 successes, out of 78 total matches (D18 L9), including each of the last four home games against the Neapolitans.
Napoli have lost seven of their last 12 games (W1 D3) played against Inter in Serie A; in the period (since the 2018-19 season), the Nerazzurri are the team against which the Neapolitans have suffered the most defeats in the competition.
Inter have scored in each of their last 28 home games in Serie A: across the five major European Leagues, only Barcelona (29) and Lille (30) are on a longer such on-going run than the Nerazzurri.
After a run of nine consecutive unbeaten league games (W8 D1), Napoli lost last time out against Atalanta (0-3) and they could suffer two defeats in a row in Serie A for the first time since December 2023 under Walter Mazzarri.
