Como have reignited their push for a top-four finish as they prepare to host Napoli in a high-stakes Serie A clash.

The host ended a four-game winless run with an impressive 2-0 victory over Genoa, pulling them within three points of fourth-placed Juventus. 

Under Cesc Fabregas, they remain firmly in the hunt for UEFA Champions League qualification while also sitting comfortably above the chasing pack for European spots. 

However, this represents one of their toughest remaining fixtures, and recent home inconsistencies, two defeats in their last five matches, raise some concerns. 

Napoli, meanwhile, responded to a brief dip in form with a dominant 4-0 win over Cremonese last weekend.

Despite that, their title defence hangs by a thread, as a win for Inter Milan this weekend would officially end their Scudetto hopes. 

Sitting just two points clear of AC Milan in second, there is mounting pressure on the team to end the season strong. 

Their away form has been a major weakness, and they have struggled against stronger opposition on the road, which could make this a tricky assignment.
