The standout match in Serie A this weekend will see the two main contenders for the league title collide at San Siro.
Inter Milan will move back to the summit if they are able to record a third straight win. The Nerazzurri confidence should be sky-high after a memorable Champions League win over Arsenal in midweek.
However, Napoli will be looking to showcase their credentials at the home of the current champions.
Antonio Conte’s side were well beaten on matchday eleven by Atalanta, but they remain one-point clear at the summit after winning eight times across the opening months.
Odds
Inter will be an incredibly short selection on the moneyline at -113 this weekend. A season-shaking win for Napoli is the outside selection at +329.
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Inter Milan | -113 |
| Draw | +269 |
| Napoli | +329 |
Napoli Unable to Stamp Authority at San Siro
| Total | Inter Milan | Napoli | Draws | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Goals | 93 | 46 | 47 |
A reason for the lack of market confidence in Napoli could be down to their poor historical record against Inter.
The table-toppers have won just one of their last ten matches against the Nerazzurri. Their only success was achieved on home soil in May 2023.
In fact, Inter have lost more home games against Napoli in Serie A than against any other side. That includes victories in each of the last four meetings between the sides at San Siro.
🚨⚽ TIP: Under 2.5 Goals @ -105

Inter Milan vs. Napoli Prediction
Napoli’s heavy loss against Atalanta last weekend shows that they still have some way to go before they have rock solid title credentials.
Defensively, they should be much stronger this weekend. However, Inter’s formidable home record remains the key trend to follow on Sunday, meaning we could see a new team ending the round at the top of the Serie A standings.
