Napoli vs Inter Prediction 03.12.2023

• Competition: Italy - Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 3rd, December 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK/20.45 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)

The Scudetto defender will take on the current Serie A leader as Napoli and Inter face each other at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to conclude Sunday's program.

Walter Mazzarri's coaching mandate with the current Serie A titleholder couldn't have had a better commencement, as they claimed a huge three points in a tough away clash against Atalanta, securing a late 2-1 victory with a goal from substitute Eljif Elmas. However, Napoli's appearance in the current season sharply contrasts with that golden team led by Luciano Spalletti, which ended a 33-year wait for the Scudetto, reflected in their daunting eight-point deficit behind the current Serie A leader. This weekend, the Southern Italian club will deploy all its resources to reduce the point deficit further, yet to succeed, they must metamorphose into the team from the previous term.

Sitting atop the Serie A standings, Inter has displayed the utmost prowess in the ongoing season, and it's no wonder they've left the other 19 teams trailing in their wake, amassing an impressive 32 points from the first 13 league fixtures. In fact, Simone Inzaghi's chosen ones failed to break away on the Serie A table last weekend, being forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against second-placed Juventus, maintaining a slim two-point advantage over the Turin club. While the Nerazzurri revel in an impressive season, positioning themselves as serious contenders for the championship title, Sunday's clash against the current champion will serve as a stringent test of their strength and quality.

Napoli vs Inter Betting Tips : BTTS

There's no doubt that sparks will fly from the first referee's whistle when the fresh champions Napoli collide with the current leaders Inter. Simultaneously, it will be a clash between the two currently most fervent attacking forces in Serie A, and as such, both nets are expected to ripple multiple times during the intense and captivating 90 minutes at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The return of the goal machine Victor Osimhen, following a few weeks on the sidelines due to back issues, particularly delights the loyal fans, knowing that with the Nigerian in the attack, Napoli can unsettle the best side in the league so far this season. 

The Nerazzurri, facing a three-goal deficit at halftime in Lisbon, executed a remarkable turnaround midweek, erasing Benfica's lead within a mere 17 minutes of the second half to ultimately clinch a thrilling 3-3 draw. With their brilliant comeback, Inter sent a clear message to the defending Scudetto champions that they are heading to Naples with the intention to reaffirm their dominance in Serie A. Martinez and Thuram, the deadly combination, serve as a legal nightmare for rival goalkeepers, with Inter leading the Serie A goal-scoring charts with 30 goals and maintaining a constant presence on the scoreboard from the outset of the campaign.

We anticipate that the Argentine-French pair will find a way to break through Napoli's defensive block, which has displayed serious vulnerabilities, especially at home, conceding at least one goal in seven consecutive matches on their turf across all competitions. Furthermore, the head-to-head encounters between the two sides at the Stadio Maradona have become synonymous with goals, as the BTTS bet has been successful in each of the last six matchups in a row. All in all, we anticipate a true football feast, with a high-scoring stalemate full of opportunities and goals likely on the cards.
