Napoli vs Inter Preview

Napoli

Napoli finished 10th in the last league season which forced the 2022-23 Serie A Champions to reinforce their squad with signings like Romelu Lukaku, Scott McTominay, David Neres, Billy Gilmour, and Alessandro Buongiorno. The departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the winter transfer window has weakened the squad though but Neres would be expected to fill in for the forward who is now at Paris St. Germain.

With 56 points from 26 matches, Napoli currently sits in the 2nd position on the league standings after a surprise 2-1 defeat to Como and Antonio Conte’s men would need a win against Inter to regain control of the title race.

Inter

Reigning Serie A Champions Inter are gunning for a second consecutive title and with 57 points from 27 matches, the Nerrazzuri are in complete control of the proceedings.

Simeone Inzaghi has personnel issues to deal with as Inter’s lead goal scorer for the ongoing season, Marcus Thuram will miss the crucial fixture on Saturday due to an ankle injury. Inter’s No.1 Yann Sommer also missed the last match and back-up goalkeeper Josep Martinez will have to be at his best to keep out powerful shots from McTominay and former Inter star Lukaku.

Napoli vs Inter Over/Under Predictions

The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.

Total goals Over 2.5 @ +107 (MGM Bet): A virtual title decider is always expected to be a tight affair as both Conte and Inzaghi would be delivering instructions to their respective defenses but with stars like Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez, McTominay, and Calhanoglu on display, one expects a few goals to be scored in the high-profile clash.

Inter goals Over 1.5 @ +138 (MGM Bet): As previously mentioned, Inter’s top-scorer Marcus Thuram will be absent from the clash this weekend but the Nerrazzuri skipper Martinez would have to take more responsibility. Martinez usually scores 20+ goals this season but the Argentine striker’s output has dipped this season as he has only scored 10 goals in the ongoing Serie A season.

Napoli vs Inter Player Picks

Romelu Lukaku (To Score Goal @ +245 as per MGM Bet): Romelu Lukaku has 57 goals for Inter but the former Inter star man would need to score a couple of strikes against them in order for Napoli to regain the pole position on the Serie A points table.

Napoli vs Inter Match Prediction

With Inter missing a couple of key players and travelling away from home, the task is even more daunting, hence, we predict Napoli to regain their pole position in the league standings with a 2-1 win.
