Napoli vs Inter Milan Prediction: Title Race Battle in Naples

The Serie A title race takes center stage on Saturday night as Napoli host league leaders Inter Milan at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. With just one point separating the two teams, this could be a defining clash in the battle for the Scudetto.

Napoli Aiming to Rebound After Poor Run

Napoli started the season in exceptional form, leading the table for much of the campaign. However, Antonio Conte’s men have stumbled in recent weeks, failing to win any of their last three league matches. A shock 2-1 defeat to Como last weekend has raised concerns about their ability to maintain their title push.

Defensive frailties have also been an issue, with Napoli conceding in each of their last six games. Despite this, their home form remains strong, and they’ll be looking to make their advantage count as they attempt to reclaim top spot in Serie A.

Inter Milan Holding the Edge at the Top

Inter Milan have taken full advantage of Napoli’s dip in form, moving to the top of the table after a 1-0 win over Genoa. Simone Inzaghi’s side also secured a 2-0 victory against Lazio in the Coppa Italia midweek, highlighting their ability to perform across multiple competitions.

However, Inter’s away record is a concern. The Nerazzurri have failed to win any of their last three road games in Serie A, including a 2-2 draw with Bologna. With a difficult trip to Naples ahead, they will need a strong performance to maintain their title push.

Head-to-Head: Inter Slightly Favoured

The historical record leans in Inter’s favor, with the visitors winning 24 of the last 56 meetings, compared to Napoli’s 17 victories. Their last two clashes have ended in draws, including a 1-1 result earlier this season.

Inter also have recent success in Naples, picking up a 3-0 away win last season, but Napoli will be eager to avenge that defeat and restore their dominance at home.

Key Players to Watch

Lautaro Martinez will be Inter’s biggest threat, having netted 10 Serie A goals this season. The Argentine striker scored in his last visit to Naples and will look to repeat the feat. Marko Arnautovic is set to partner him in attack, as Marcus Thuram remains sidelined.

For Napoli, Romelu Lukaku will be eager to deliver against his former club. The Belgian forward has nine league goals this season and will be Napoli’s main attacking outlet. Giacomo Raspadori is also expected to play a key role, with David Neres ruled out through injury.
