Napoli vs Inter Preview and Team News 

Napoli Team News

Napoli enters this fixture on the back of a challenging period, having failed to secure a victory in their last four matches. Their recent form includes draws against Roma (1-1), Udinese (1-1), and Lazio (2-2), followed by a 2-1 defeat to Como. These results have raised concerns, especially about their defensive solidity, as they have conceded goals in every match.

The team has been grappling with injury issues, most notably the loss of winger David Neres to a thigh injury, which is expected to sideline him for at least a month. Adding to their woes, midfielder Frank Zambo Anguissa suffered a soleus muscle injury during the match against Como and has been ruled out for several weeks.

Napoli predicted lineup vs Inter (3-5-2): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno; Politano, Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay, Spinazzola; Raspadori, Lukaku.

Inter Team News

Inter Milan approaches this match with renewed confidence, having secured consecutive victories: a 1-0 win over Genoa in Serie A and a 2-0 triumph against Lazio in the Coppa Italia. These results have propelled them to the top of the league standings and into the semifinals of the domestic cup. However, their journey hasn’t been without setbacks.

The team has been dealing with an injury crisis, particularly in the wingback positions. Matteo Darmian sustained an injury during the Coppa Italia match against Lazio, joining Carlos Augusto and Nicola Zalewski on the sidelines. 

These absences have left coach Simone Inzaghi with limited options on the flanks. On a positive note, striker Marcus Thuram, who missed recent matches due to an ankle injury, has returned to group training and is expected to be available for the Napoli clash.

Inter predicted lineup vs Napoli (3-5-2): J. Martinez; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Thuram, L. Martinez.

Napoli vs Inter Prediction 

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: -114 (20Bet)
• Score prediction: Napoli 2-2 Inter

As the Serie A title race heats up, Napoli and Inter Milan are preparing to face off in a crucial match that could greatly impact the championship’s outcome. Inter currently leads the standings with 57 points, closely followed by Napoli with 56 points.

This match not only brings together the top two teams but also represents the culmination of months of competitive tension and strategic planning.

Both Napoli and Inter Milan have demonstrated strong offensive capabilities this season, with Napoli averaging 1.60 goals per game and Inter 1.80. However, both teams have also shown defensive vulnerabilities, with Napoli conceding in their last four matches and Inter in three of their last five. 

Considering these factors, in my opinion, it’s likely that both teams will find the net in this very important match. 

Napoli vs Inter Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total Over 2 goals
• Odds: -162 (20Bet)

Both teams have demonstrated strong attacking skills, but they also have some defensive weaknesses in their recent matches. Napoli benefits from playing at home and has made tactical adjustments, while Inter has shown resilience, although their defense can be vulnerable at times. 

So, a high likelihood of goals from both sides suggests that a goal-filled draw is the likely outcome of this match.
