Inter head into this Serie A round three sitting second on the table with six points from two games, unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions.

Napoli have slipped to tenth after just three points, their form dented by a loss to Como last time out. That gap in early-season momentum shapes everything about this Meazza clash.

A table gap Napoli can't paper over

Inter's win over Cagliari and thumping of Monza have them purring, and they've not lost in six outings across all competitions. Napoli, meanwhile, arrive off the back of a defeat to Como that has them languishing in tenth spot, a sharp contrast to Inter's second-placed standing.

Napoli's central defence is also under real pressure, with Alessandro Buongiorno out after knee surgery and Luca Marianucci sidelined by a high-grade MCL injury, both reportedly leaving Antonio Conte short at the back just as they face an Inter attack averaging two and a half goals a game this season.

The head-to-head history offers some intrigue too. The most recent meeting finished two-all, with Federico Dimarco opening the scoring after nine minutes before Scott McTominay struck twice for Napoli, including a leveller in the 81st minute.

Across the last six meetings overall, Inter and Napoli have split just one win apiece with four draws, so this is not a fixture where recent history hands Inter an easy path even with the form gap so pronounced.

Inter vs Napoli Prediction

Inter's home-ground standing, unbeaten run and defensive resilience make them the pick here.

They sit second in Serie A with six points from two games against Napoli's three points and tenth-place finish, and their six-match unbeaten streak across competitions includes statement wins over Cagliari and Monza.

Napoli's makeshift back line, missing both Buongiorno and Marianucci, only adds to the case for backing the home side to get the job done. That is why our headline pick leans on the win-draw-win market, and it is worth understanding how it works if you are newer to it.

What could go wrong here is the head-to-head record, which shows Napoli are far from pushovers against this opponent, having won or drawn five of the last six meetings including a two-all thriller back in January.

Still, the current form and table split favour Inter on home turf. For a broader look at the market, check tips for betting on the Serie A .
