Inter - Napoli predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Inter and the 5.50 odds given to Napoli to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

Inter’s morale is riding high after a dominating performance at Bologna in the previous round. Online bookmakers priced their away win at 3.56 and they delivered on those expectations by taking the lead in the first half and holding on to it until the end.

Napoli are here on the back of rather poor performance in their previous Serie A game. The odds seemed stacked in their favour with both home-field advantage and 5.50 betting odds for their victory. Despite all of this, however, the game ended up being a protracted stalemate, ending in an HT/FT 1:1 draw.

The Nerazzurri are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 7 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

The home squad is looking exceedingly confident, so most predictions agree that they have the upper hand in this matchup. Moreover, they’re the best-placed team in the league, and the possibility of a title will keep them highly motivated.

Being the clear underdogs in this matchup, Napoli don’t seem likely to move up from their current number 7th table position. They’ll be quite motivated to do so, though – unless they can close a 4 -point difference before the end of the season, their Europa ambitions will come to nought.

The Nerazzurri already won against Napoli this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

Stefano Sensi, Carlos Augusto, Marko Arnautović will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
