Napoli will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 18 points behind Inter.
It's no vacation for neither Napoli nor Inter as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Napoli form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Napoli have to build on here at Stadio San Paolo in the Serie A. Three consecutive losses here at Stadio San Paolo is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
The Napoli fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Stadio San Paolo: A 1-3 defeat against Inter (placed 1st). A strong away win before that one, visiting Sassuolo and winning 2-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Napoli have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 2.
Napoli has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Napoli have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Inter form and stats
Inter, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Serie A, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 22 points collected from 8 Serie A games. 7 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats is the record so far. In general it has been a productive period now for Inter as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games.
It's the second away game in a row for Inter, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Napoli (placed 8th) in the Serie A last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Genoa.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Inter in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Inter, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Inter have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 19 goals from 8 away matches. Inter have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Napoli, 3 draws and 3 wins for Inter. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.Top Goalscorers
