Inter Preview – Can Inter make a big statement
Three points at home against Napoli who are breathing down their neck, would be a fantastic return for Inter.
It is a four-match winning streak that they are currently on in the Italian top flight and the goals have been flying in from them.
Inter have scored at least three goals in each of their last four wins so are red hot in that department at the moment.
Inter are 6/5 odds against to pick up the home win on Wednesday in this highlight match* (odds taken 23:05 GMT Tuesday, 15th December).
They do have home form going, having picked up a W3 D1 L1 home record in the league this season.
Inter are undefeated in their last three league home games, winning their last two.
We do have to circle back around a little bit to their goal-scoring output.
That’s because Inter have scored an average of 2.8 goals per home game during this league campaign.
It has been at least three goals in each of their three home successes.
But taking that further, each of their home wins have been against teams currently in the bottom half of the table.
Inter have also not managed to keep a clean sheet at the San Siro this season.
In fact they have conceded heavily at an average of two per game in this campaign, which should leave them vulnerable.
But that could lead to this being a high-scoring game and over 2.5 goals is at 8/11 as a football betting option* (odds taken 23:05 GMT Tuesday, 15th December).
Napoli Preview – Can Napoli raid the San Siro?
Napoli have a lot to play for as a win puts them two points clear of Inter into second place.
They are also running great form, having won their last three games on the spin in the Italian top flight.
Goals have been flying in from them as well, with Napoli having tallied 10 goals in their last three games.
Away from home this season they are W4 L1 on the road and they are 21/10 to go and get an important three points* (odds taken 23:05 GMT Tuesday, 15th December).
It has been a W4 L1 record on their travels that Napoli have taken this season.
They are currently on a three-match winning streak on the road as well.
Napoli have averaged 1.8 goals per away game in this campaign and have conceded just the four in their five games.
But that away form needs closer scrutiny.
That’s because all four wins have happened against teams in the bottom half of the table.
In fact, home and away, the three games that Napoli have played this season against current top-five sides, they have lost.

Inter vs Napoli Betting Advice
We would have to go with the home win in this one at 6/5* (odds taken 23:05 GMT Tuesday, 15th December).
That’s because the goals have been flowing from Inter recently and they may just have enough to get over the finish line to win this.
They did get the better of Napoli in both of last season’s league meetings.
Key Facts – Inter vs Napoli Betting Tip
- Inter have lost only one of their last six league games against Napoli
- Inter are on a four-match winning streak in Serie A
- Napoli have won their last three league fixtures.
Also what tips it for us is that Napoli have misfired a little in their games against her stronger opposition in the league this season.
So their away form, while on paper looks pretty good for the season, really has yet to be proven.
Inter Milan to win by a 1 goal margin is a solid looking option at a 3/1 quote* (odds taken 23:05 GMT Tuesday, 15th December).
