Napoli vs Inter Milan Prediction & Match Preview

A real buzz is expected in and around Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday evening when reigning champions Napoli host current leaders Inter Milan in Matchday No 14.

Inter Milan are flying high at the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign. They maintained a two-point advantage on Juventus at the top of the league standings by holding I Bianconeri to a 1-1 stalemate last weekend in Turin.

I Nerazzurri were a better side on the pitch in the 90 minutes of action at Allianz Stadium. They now have 10 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 defeat in the inaugural 13 games of the season.

They own the best attacking and defensive record in the division at the same time with a 30-7 goal difference after 13 rounds.

Inter will also come into this on a high after managing a huge second-half comeback in a 3-3 draw away at Benfica on Wednesday evening in the UEFA Champions League.

Head coach Simone Inzaghi used a completely reserve lineup in Lisbon to give his first-team regulars proper rest ahead of this huge game in Naples.

Napoli, on the other side, managed just two wins in the last six games in all competitions. They suffered a 2-4 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid on Wednesday night in the Champions League.

A slower start to the new season caused the managerial change as Walter Mazzarri replaced Rudi Garcia on the bench during the international break.

He started with a 2-1 win away at Atalanta last weekend in a match in which I Partinopei did not quite shine, allowing the rivals too many looks at Gewiss Stadium.

Latest Meetings

The home court advantage has played a huge role in the history of this matchup. We thus saw five wins for the home teams and two draws in the previous seven H2H clashes between Napoli and Inter Milan.

Napoli won 13, drew 8, and lost 7 of the previous 28 home encounters with I Nerazzurri.

Both teams were on target in four of the last five head to head affairs.

The Verdict

We expect a thrilling evening of football packed with goals and chances on both ends. Inter Milan have been much more consistent throughout the season and we like them to claim the spoils in Naples.

The main pick is Away Win & Both Teams To Score at the 4.33 odds while we also like Lautaro Martinez to score anytime at the 2.75 odds.
