Hakan Calhanoglu will look to make his mark once again when Inter Milan face Napoli at the Maradona.

The Turkish midfielder has already been a decisive figure in this fixture, and the numbers underline why he approaches the match with confidence.

As highlighted by Opta, via FCInterNews, Calhanoglu has scored three Serie A goals against Napoli, all with Inter, and no other club has conceded more against him in the Italian top flight.

His influence in this particular clash has become a recurring theme, combining long-range threat, tempo control and set-piece quality.

The midfielder’s reliability from the penalty spot adds another layer of danger.

Since arriving in Italy in 2017, Calhanoglu has converted 28 of his 29 club penalties: 25 out of 26 with Inter and a perfect three from three during his time at Milan.

With precision, calm and technique, he has become one of Europe’s most dependable specialists from eleven metres.

As Napoli and Inter prepare for a match already carrying Scudetto weight despite the early stage of the season, Calhanoglu’s history in this fixture represents one of the key factors to watch.

If form and numbers are any indication, the stage at the Maradona could once again suit his footwork.
