Serie A, played Sunday, March 17th, 2024
Here is our Inter Milan v Napoli tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Inter Milan home win. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
The Inter Milan juggernaut rolled on in last week's Italian top flight action when the runaway Serie A league leaders recording a 1-0 win away from home at Bologna which became the hosts' 10th league win on the trot and they'll be looking for more of the same when Napoli visit their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday night, while Napoli extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to five games after a more modest looking 1-1 draw at home with Torino.
Inter Milan now hold a commanding 16-point cushion at the top of the domestic top flight over second placed AC Milan prior to Sunday night's encounter and along with having kept clean sheets in four of their last five wins, Inter have also racked up nine wins on the trot on home soil as well, making them favourites for all three points here against Napoli.
In addition, Inter Milan have also kept no fewer than seven clean sheets within these last nine victories at their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza so Simone Inzaghi's side look close to being unbeatable right now in the Italian top flight.
Even more impressive is the fact that Inter Milan have suffered just the single defeat throughout the whole of this season's campaign whilst picking up an amazing 24 wins from their total of 28 matches played to date.
Currently sitting in seventh place in the Serie A table and now seven points adrift of fourth placed Bologna and the Champions League spot, the best that Napoli can seemingly hope for is perhaps a spot in one of the secondary or third level European competitions for next season.
Despite putting together a solid looking five-match unbeaten sequence in the domestic top flight which consists of wins collected against Sassuolo 6-1 away from home along with an impressive 2-1 home win against Juventus, one too many draws have held Napoli back from breaking into the top six places already.
Three stalemates in the shape of draws with Genoa, Cagliari and Torino have slowed down Francesco Calzona's side's progress as well as experiencing a serious decline in fortunes on their travels in recent weeks.
Napoli have managed to capture just one win from their last seven outings on the road which was the aforementioned demolition of Sassuolo but having also slipped up in four defeats within this period as well, the visitors look to have their work cut out in this Sunday night's clash with the runaway league leaders.
Inter Milan v Napoli Verdict
Inter Milan look to be well placed to grab the all-important three points here this Sunday and having also won four out of the previous six meetings against Napoli as well, Simone Inzaghi's side look set to add to their ever-increasing points tally.
Therefore, our main bet will be Inter Milan win @ 1.61
Other side bets worth considering:
Inter Milan win & Under 2.5 goals @ 4.33
Correct Score: Inter Milan 2-0 @ 8.00
