Corriere dello Sport have picked up upon Inter’s more than favourable next five fixtures ahead of their tie with Hellas Verona on Monday night and stressed the importance of Inter taking advantage of it.
The Nerazzurri face Hellas away from home before playing host to Torino and Atalanta in back to back weeks before a trip to Cagliari before rounding off the five game stint at home to Chievo Verona.
The other teams in and around Inter however do not have such favourable fixtures during the same period and all face a number of direct challenges with teams in similar positions.
Leaders Napoli face both Milan and Juventus, Juventus face Milan then Napoli, Lazio have the Rome derby then Fiorentina and Sampdoria and finally, Roma have a game with Fiorentina before the derby.
After 10 games, Inter have amassed an impressive 26 points from a possible 30, winning 8 and drawing 2 and are the only remaining undefeated side alongside Napoli. They will no doubt hope to maintain such form in the coming five fixtures which would surely further assert their title credentials.

Big games are usually self motivated but against “small teams” I am afraid we tend to lose focus and get complacent.
this is the match we likely to see candreva, icardi or perisic underperform. spalleti must have plan to use the bench player, eder, karamoh, and mario they are the ‘Plan B’.
even when those matches look easy, they are very tricky.
The small teams are the ones i fear most
Uh looking very interesting, still we should listen to Spalla and keep focus on the next game before us and teams like Torino (with a very and Atalanta who has done very well in Europe (but who also has to spend energy on that exact tournament)will be tough noughts to crack!
Strange season:
We are having a total scudetto run, an easy scudetto march…yet…if we just lose in Verona Monday we are potentially FIFTH!(if Roma eventually win their postponed game).
Anyway…4W + 1 T in the next 5 and we r flying and I’m all happy.
I hope it will be 5 in 5
