Serie A Title Six-Pointer Causes Distraction Ahead Of Inter Milan Vs Lazio Coppa Italia Quarter-Finals | OneFootball

The upcoming Serie A top-table six-pointer against Napoli threatens to mess with Inter Milan’s focus ahead of tonight’s clash against Lazio.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Saturday’s trip to Naples could cause an unwanted distraction.

Indeed, Simone Inzaghi has just surpassed Antonio Conte in Serie A’s standings.

Lautaro Martinez bagged a late winner to help Inter beat bottom-half Genoa at home last weekend.

Meanwhile, newcomers Como stunned Napoli 2-1 at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, handing Inter’s Scudetto hopes a boost.

Upcoming Blockbuster Clash vs Napoli Ought to Distract Inter Milan from Coppa Italia Tie vs Lazio

Inter head into tonight’s showdown as favorites after dismantling Lazio 6-0 in Serie A roughly two months ago.

However, Saturday’s season-defining match against Napoli looms over Nerazzurri’s heads.

Indeed, Inzaghi bids to become the first Serie A manager in five years to defend the Scudetto.

Therefore, Inter can’t afford a slip-up at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona next weekend.

On the other hand, they’re unwilling to let go of their Coppa Italia aspirations.

It’s up to them to set their priorities, but there’s no doubt they’ll be out to set up a semi-final tie against AC Milan.
