Inter Milan will be looking for a repeat result of the 0-2 Serie A success vs Parma.

In that game, Inter Milan had 63% possession and 26 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. For Inter Milan, the goalscorers were Federico Dimarco (42') and Marcus Thuram (98'). Parma got 4 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target.

Their latest results shine a light on the fact that there has been much resilience in the Inter Milan rearguard. Inter Milan have given the opposition little, seeing the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous six outings standing at 4. We will have to see whether or not that trend can be sustained here.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Inter Milan:

• haven't beaten SSC Napoli in their previous 4 matches in the league.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 home league matches.

• have left without a victory over Inter Milan in away games against them for the last 8 matches in the league. A really bad run.
• haven't been beaten by Inter Milan when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.

📋 Team News: Inter Milan

It’s our opinion that Nerazzurri could make use of the 3-5-2 formation in the match and select Yann Sommer, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, Alessandro Bastoni, Luis Henrique, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Piotr Zielinski, Federico Dimarco, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.

ℹ️ Team News: Napoli

We are inclined to think that Partenopei could decide to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup, choosing V. Milinkovic-Savic, Sam Beukema, Amir Rrahmani, Juan Jesus, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Stanislav Lobotka, Scott McTominay, Leonardo Spinazzola, Matteo Politano, Eljif Elmas and Rasmus Hoejlund.

💡 Prediction

In our view, Inter Milan will more than likely get the goals that they need when they meet SSC Napoli, who might well find it a difficult task scoring a goal of their own.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 2-0 victory for Inter Milan after 90 minutes.
