Inter Milan (W) VS Napoli (W)

Napoli will welcome Como to the Stadio Maradona on Sunday in one of the most intriguing fixtures of the second Serie A matchday, with both clubs preparing for Champions League football this season. Napoli finished second last campaign and also claimed the Supercoppa Italiana, although their European campaign was disappointing. Under new coach Max Allegri, the Partenopei have made a positive domestic start by beating Genoa 2-0, with Kevin De Bruyne making an immediate impact after coming off the bench by scoring and assisting Antonio Vergara. Napoli have traditionally been extremely strong at home, winning their opening league fixture at the Maradona for 10 consecutive seasons, and they will be determined to extend that impressive record. Como, meanwhile, have emerged as one of Italian football’s most rapidly improving teams after climbing from the third tier just six years ago. Cesc Fabregas guided the club to an impressive fourth-place finish last season, while Como also recorded 19 clean sheets, the best defensive tally in Serie A, and reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the first time. Their opening league fixture ended in a 1-1 draw against Udinese, with Tasos Douvikas continuing his goalscoring form by providing the equaliser. Despite playing another away match, Como can take confidence from their excellent road record, having lost only once in their last 12 Serie A games away from home. Their recent meetings with Napoli have also been competitive, with both matches last season ending goalless.
