Napoli made a very good operation in the first leg by winning in the lair of Inter (0-1). Looking at the post match statistics, the victory seems rather happy. In the previous rounds, the team first beat Perugia (2-0) before creating a little surprise by coming to the end, at home, of the defending champion Lazio Rome (1-0). After a very busy first part of the season, Lorenzo Insigne’s partners looked up and are now ranked 6th in Serie A. Much more consistent, they have lost only one of their last 9 games played all competitions combined, for 7 victories and 1 draw. After standing up at home to Barça in the Champions League (1-1), Napoli won against Torino in the league for their last match before the cut in 2019/2020 (2-1) .
