&lt;p&gt;Serie A matchday 12 concludes with a big one. It’s first vs second at the Meazza.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a draw with Juve, Inter got back to winning form with victories over Empoli and Venezia. Now, they want a third win in a row, which would see them go top of the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli will want to put a spanner in the works. Last time out, they lost to Atalanta, their second defeat of the season, which ended a run of nine games without a loss. The aim is to win and restore a buffer between themselves and the Nerazzurri&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD TO HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have not conceded a goal in four consecutive away games in Serie A - the longest on-going such run currently in Serie A together with Fiorentina (4). The Neapolitans could keep a clean sheet for more away games in a row in Serie A for the first time since six consecutive matches on the road between January and March 2023.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inter are the team that has taken the most corners in this Serie A: 77, only fewer than Real Sociedad (81), Tottenham (90) and Man City (98) in Europe’s top-5 Leagues. Napoli - with almost 20 fewer corners to their name (58) - have scored more goals than the Nerazzurri (2) though from such situations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After scoring three goals in his first four Serie A matches against Napoli, Lautaro Martínez has only scored one goal against the Neapolitans in his eight subsequent matches in the competition, failing to score in each of the last five. If he scores, the Argentine would become the Inter player with the most goals scored against Napoli in home matches in Serie A in the three-points-for-a-win era (currently three goals, level with Iván Zamorano).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only Riccardo Orsolini has scored the opening goal of the match more times (4) than Giovanni Di Lorenzo in Serie A 2024-25: three, alongside Dusan Vlahovic and Artem Dovbyk. Since his debut in the top-flight (2018-19), the Napoli full-back could become the second defender in the competition with 20+ goals and 20+ assists (19G+27A so far), after only Theo Hernández (29G+ 23A).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first of Matteo Politano`s two braces in Serie A came against Inter for Sassuolo on 14 May 2016. With the Nerazzurri, the now Napoli striker played 47 matches in the tournament, scoring five goals and delivering six assists between 2018 and 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MARIANI (GIALLATINI – COLAROSSI), IV: MARCENARO, VAR: DI PAOLO, AVAR: AURELIANO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hellas Verona-Inter (Saturday 23 November, 15:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli-Roma (Sunday 24 November, 18.00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;
