Napoli vs Inter Milan Betting Tips – Serie A, 6th January 19.45pm

Two Italian giants go head-to-head in Serie A on Monday evening, as Napoli welcome Inter Milan to the Stadio San Paolo. Antonio Conte’s Inter still lead the way at the top of the division, ahead of Juventus on goal difference. As for Gennaro Gattuso’s Napoli, they are down in eighth spot with 24 points to their name. The hosts are the slight favourites, but this could go either way.

Napoli News and Form – Can Partenopei make it back-to-back victories?

With Carlo Ancelotti now at Everton in the English Premier League, the eccentric Gennaro Gattuso is the new man at the helm at the Stadio San Paolo. After starting with a disappointing 2-1 home reverse to Parma, Gattuso picked up his first win a few days before Christmas, guiding his side to a much-needed 2-1 win at Sassuolo.

Victory at the MAPEI Stadium in December was Napoli’s first Serie A triumph since a 2-0 home win over Verona way back on October 19th. Partenopei have had a mixed bag of results this term, winning six, drawing six and losing five of 17 league games.

Napoli will be hoping for a fresh start after the festive break. The win over Sassuolo before signing off was a big one for Gattuso and Napoli, but can the club build on that in 2020? Victory over the league leaders on Monday will be a huge step in the right direction for the side from Naples.

Inter Milan News and Form – Will the leaders stay at the top with another win?

By this time of the season, Juventus are normally miles ahead of the chasing pack in the title race in Italy. However, Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan have other ideas. As we enter the first round of fixtures of the new decade, the Black and Blues are ahead of the Old Lady on goal difference.

Conte’s men have had a remarkable season so far, winning 13 of their 17 Serie A fixtures. In fact, Juventus are the only team to have beaten them in league action this term. Before the break, Inter ended the year with a thumping 4-0 home win over Genoa.

Inter Milan have been incredibly strong away from home this term, dropping just two points from an available 24. Inter have won seven and drawn one on the road in the league; can they make it eight victories from nine at the San Paolo on Monday?

Napoli vs Inter Milan Predictions

Inter Milan win: Napoli’s success at Sassuolo last month was just what the doctor ordered for the Naples club. However, after a bright start to their campaign under Ancelotti, the Blues have dropped down the table at an alarming rate of knots in recent months.

In contrast, Inter Milan have grown stronger and stronger as the season has progressed. The club from Milan have not won the league since 2010, but will that change this year?

Inter have been almost faultless away from home, and I fancy them to secure another away win (17/10) on Monday. Also, check out the tempting price of 15/4 for the away side to come out on top and both teams to score.
