Napoli vs Inter Milan Predictions and Betting Tips

The Estadio Diego Armando Maradona is the stage for this highly-spirited encounter as Napoli and Inter lock horns this Sunday in the Italian Serie A.

Inter just secured maximum points in the reverse match back in December to stretch their unbeaten run against the Naples-based side to three games. Can Conte manage to do the double over his opposite number and take his side closer to the Scudetto?

Race for top four thickens

Napoli is still well and truly in the race for the top four as they stand just two behind Atalanta who occupies 4th place. Although they recently lost to Juventus, their run of five wins in their last six league games does point to the fact that they do mean business with regards to the race for UCL. In their most recent game, they beat Sampdoria 2-0 courtesy of goals from Fabian and Osimhen.

Another step closer

Internazionale’ late goal away at Cagliari stretched their winning run in Serie A to nine games which put their lead at the summit of the standings to 11 points. Ever since winning the treble in 2010, the Nerazzurri haven’t managed an Italian league title mainly owing to Juventus’ domestic dominance. It’s looking like all that is about to change as it’s only a matter of time before they have their hands on the title.

Napoli vs Inter Team News

Ospina, Kolarov and Ghoulam are all ruled out for the hosts. Inter, on the other hand, wouldn’t be traveling with Kolarov as the Serbian is till nursing an injury.

Napoli possible starting XI:

Meret; Di Lorenzo, Koulibaly, Manolas, Rui; Bakayoko, Ruiz; Politano, Zielinski, Insigne, Osimhen

Inter possible starting XI:

Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Sensi, Brozovic, Eriksen, Young; Martinez, Lukaku

Napoli vs Inter Prediction: 2-2

Both sides head into this game in decent form so we expect a highly-competitive encounter. However, this game could go either way with both sides capable of nicking all three points.
