Napoli Visit the San Siro ,looking to Hurt Inter’s Chances of champions League football Next Season.
Kickoff:
19:45 BST at the San Siro Stadium
Napoli’s revival
into a top Contender for the scuddeti in the recent years has been a direct effect
of its Outspoken and often Conteversial President ,Aurelio
De Laurent efforst .he was was famously quoted saying that he was looking for a manager
with big Testicles prior to appointing then Chelsea interim manager ,and Europa league winner
Rafael benitez .One of benitez's first acts as Napoli manger was the acquisition
of Real Madrid Striker Gonzalo Higuaín for 17 million Euros,
which turned out great for the club. The argentine international has found the
net 13 times and provided 7 direct assists so far this season. Higuin is probably
the most likely player to get on the score sheet for his team in this fixture, as
Benitez’s system utilizes all players to feed the front man as often as they can.

The Argentine will look to put in a good performance ,in order to gurantee his place in the upcoming World Cup in Brasil |
Napoli are currently 3rd in
the Serie A standings with 68 points and trailing second place Roma by 17 points
, a huge margin ,that has cemented Roma
in the runner up position. Napoli seem destined to finish 3rd this
season as they are leading 4th place Fiorentina by 10 points. They have
one leg in the Champions league tournament next season, and all they need to do
is hold on, and try not to drop too many points in the remaining 5 games.
Inter Milan are fighting to displace 4th
place Fiorentina, and beat the violets for the last place in the champions
league competitionnext season. The revenues
generated from the European competition will prove vital for the clubs survival
as they have found themselves in financial Crises in recent years. Argentine
Striker Rodrigo Palacio Performance will be a big factor in deciding this game.
The 32 year old attacker has come to his clubs rescue on many occasions,
netting 15 goals, and providing 7 assists.
