I Bianconeri are on a seven-game run without a league win following a 2-1 defeat away to Sampdoria which has left them just three points above the relegation zone, heading into matches against Atalanta and Inter this week. 
 
In stark contrast, Inter boosted their title chances with a 2-0 win over defending champions Juventus in Milan this past weekend.

Victory kept Nerazzurri within three points of league leaders and fierce rivals AC Milan. Inter boss Antonio Conte lauded his team's performance at the San Siro and knows it is a vital step in the right direction, in the Milan club's pursuit of dethroning the Turin juggernaut. 

“To win against a team like Juventus, who are an important reference point in Italy, you need to play a perfect match,” Conte said.

“The players did well to put what we prepared out on the pitch and I’m very happy for them as these games raise your self-confidence and let you know you’re on the right track.

“They knew that Juventus have dominated for nine years. The gap between them and the others still exists, but we’re working to reduce it from every point of view.”
