Inter Milan Must Improve Two Things To Increase Chances Of Defending Serie A Title | OneFootball

After a 3-1 home win against Empoli, Inter Milan are again three points behind Serie A leaders Napoli with a game in hand.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, there are two crucial aspects the Nerazzurri must improve to bolster their Scudetto chances.

Despite only losing once in 20 league outings, it’s not been an ideal season for the reigning champions.

Indeed, they’ve dropped points more often than expected, especially in high-profile matches against elite clubs.

On a positive note, they’ve humbled lesser opposition without breaking a sweat, but there’s still ample room for improvement.

Inter Milan Must Improve Two Things to Bolster Serie A Title Hopes

For starters, Inter’s home form has flattered to deceive.

Seven wins from 11 league games at Giuseppe Meazza may look impressive.

However, they’ve already conceded 13 goals on home turf, two more than in the entirety of last season.

Therefore, Simone Inzaghi must plug defensive leaks, with Napoli outperforming Inter’s defensive record by four.

Indeed, Antonio Conte’s men have conceded only 14 goals this term compared to the Nerazzurri’s 18.

Shockingly, 72% of those goals arrived at home.

Furthermore, all four winless outings came against top-half teams.

In addition to a dismal loss to AC Milan in mid-September, Inter failed to beat Bologna, Napoli, and Juventus.
