The facts and figures that you need to know ahead of Tuesday's 21:45 CEST kick-off at San Siro


MILAN – Inter’s final home fixture of the season will see them face Gattuso’s Napoli side at 21:45 CEST on Tuesday 28 July. The upcoming matchday 37 clash will be the fourth time that the two sides have met this season. In the league fixture earlier on in the campaign, Antonio Conte’s side ran out 3-1 winners at the San Paolo thanks to Lukaku’s brace and a goal from Lautaro Martinez.

PREVIOUS ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN INTER AND NAPOLI Inter and Napoli have faced each other 147 times in the league, with the Nerazzurri’s record against the Partenopei reading as follows: 65 wins, 36 draws and 46 defeats. Inter have won two of their last three fixtures against Napoli in Serie A (one defeat), as many victories as they’d achieved in the 15 matches between the sides prior to this (six draws, seven defeats). The most frequent scoreline between Napoli and Inter in Serie A has been 0-0: this has been the final result on 17 occasions and last occurred in March 2018.

The two teams are set to face off for the 74th time at the Meazza. So far, Inter have won 47, drawn 17 and lost nine of their home matches against Napoli. In each of the last four Serie A clashes between the Nerazzurri and the Partenopei at San Siro, one of the two teams hasn’t scored (four goals in total). In seven of the nine games prior to this, both teams found the net.

STATE OF PLAY AND STATISTICS Inter have picked up 76 points in the league so far. Furthermore, the Nerazzurri will finish a Serie A campaign with more than 76 goals for the first time since the 2006/07 season (80).

After winning five of their first six away fixtures under Gattuso, Napoli have won just one of their last four fixtures on the road (one draw, two defeats).

Inter have had more goalscorers than any other side this season (18), with Napoli and Roma only slightly behind in this regard (17). Inter have scored the most headed goals in the Top Five European leagues this season (19) but will have to work to create chances against a Napoli side that has conceded the fewest shots in the league so far (389).

PLAYER FOCUS The last player to score more goals than Romelu Lukaku (23) in their first ever season in the Italian top flight was Diego Milito, who bagged 24 for Genoa in 2008/09. The Belgian striker has found the net 29 times in all competitions this season: the last Inter player to reach the 30-goal mark was Samuel Eto’o in 2010/11 (37).

Out of all the players who have played a maximum of 20 times in Serie A this season, Alexis Sánchez has provided most assists: eight, four more than anybody else in this category.

Only one of Lautaro Martínez’s 19 Serie A goals have come in the last ten minutes: the goal he scored against Napoli at San Siro in December 2018.

Borja Valero’s next appearance will be his 100th for Inter in all competitions, while Antonio Candreva is one away from 150 Nerazzurri matches.

Napoli are one of four sides who Stefan de Vrij has scored two goals against in the Italian top flight.

Fabián Ruiz (2254) and Marcelo Brozovic (1962) are two of the three midfielders who have made the most passes this Serie A campaign: Manuel Locatelli separates the duo with 1988.

COACHES Antonio Conte has won four of his eight matches against Napoli as a coach in Serie A. The other games ended in two draws and two defeats.

Inter’s win in the reverse fixture was the only time that Antonio Conte and Gennaro Gattuso have faced each other as coaches in Serie A.
