The standout fixture in Serie A this weekend takes place in Naples, as Napoli look to edge closer to the top of the standings. Inter Milan currently lead the standings, and they will be looking to extend their advantage over Juventus this weekend.
Serie A Preview
Inter Milan have made an electric start to the Serie A season, as they are setting the early pace in the league standings. They have won ten of their opening 13 matches, meaning that they are the only side in the competition to have reached double-digit victories already this term. Inter have suffered just one defeat in the competition this term, and they are unbeaten in their last five.
However, their winning sequence was brought to an end last weekend, as they could only play out a draw against Juventus. Still, that wasn’t the worst result for the league leaders, as it ensured that their advantage at the top of the standings remained at two points. Furthermore, Inter boasts the best attacking record, while they have allowed the fewest goals in the competition so far.
The pressure will be on the defending champions this weekend, as Napoli look to close the gap on the top of the standings. At present, they sit fourth in Serie A, and they are seven points off the pace being set by Inter. The team from Naples have endured a rocky recent run of results, as they have won just twice in their previous four.
However, huge confidence would have been taken by the Italian champions after they bounced back from a recent defeat by landing victory last weekend. It was a professional display by Napoli on the road, with their winning goal eventually being scored with ten minutes remaining by Elif Elmas.
Napoli vs Inter Milan Head to Head
Napoli landed a 3-1 win in the previous meeting between these sides in May. However, that victory ended a seven-match unbeaten run for Inter in this fixture. Over that period, Inter had recorded five wins, with two matches ending in draws. Interestingly, both the draws came in fixtures played in Naples.
Napoli vs Inter Milan Prediction
Inter’s start to the season has been excellent, and their overall record in this fixture since the start of 2020 is worth respecting. Therefore, it could be worth taking a chance on the league leaders to extend their advantage at the top with a win in Naples.
