On the upcoming Saturday, Napoli will host Inter Milan at their home ground. This is a central match of Serie A ninth round, as the leader of the peloton and the team occupying the second place meet. The Neaploitans are after the most difficult match against Manchester City at Etihad within the third round of the UCL. Sarri’s team lost to Man City thus noticeably complicating their life in the tournament. In their turn, Inter had an opportunity to prepare for the upcoming game calmly and this factor may affect the final result of the encounter.
After eight played rounds in the Italian championship, Napoli gained 24 points. Such amount of gained points correspond to the first position in the Italian championship, the Neapolitans have eight victories, i.e. 100% result. But sooner or later Napoli had to lose and that happened on the 17th October in the match against Manchester City.
Within the last five games, Inter managed to lose four times with one draw, the split of points happened in the match against Bologna, the victories are registered over Crotone, Genoa, Benevento and Milan. The Milanese team is situated on the second position in Serie A with 22 points in the asset. Nerazzurri have three away victories with one draw, eight goals were scored and three conceded, a terrific away statistics.
Napoli gave up a lot of energy in the clash against Manchester City, therefore the Neapolitans will hardly be able to play at their maximum against Inter. The Milanese play well away and have gained a good momentum, so it is quite risky to make a bet on the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win with +1.5 Asian handicap
