Serie A action returns to Naples this weekend as table-topping Inter takes on title rivals Napoli in a crucial matchup at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Napoli vs Inter Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals
A potentially decisive fixture in the race for the Serie A title see Napoli and Inter come into Saturday's huge contest separated by just a point.
Inter make the trip south currently one point ahead of their Neopolitan rivals after a narrow 1:0 win against Genoa last weekend. Simone Inzaghi´s side had failed to win three of four previous league fixtures before Lautaro Martinez´s late goal secured a crucial victory.
Despite their indifferent form, Inter sit top of the division with both sides struggling to find consistent form in a desperately tight title race. Four of Inter´s last six matches saw under 2.5 goals scored and something similar could be on the cards again on Saturday.
Napoli remain firmly in the hunt for a second Serie A success in three years despite failing to win each of their last four league fixtures. While the Gli Azzurri have dropped nine points in the past month, the hosts find themselves just one point behind I Nerazzurri with 12 games still to play.
Recent meetings between these sides have been tight. Five of their last seven meetings saw under 2.5 goals scored, and with so much in the line, another low-scoring outcome seems likely. With both teams keen to avoid defeat in this potentially critical matchup, I expect both to adopt a cautious approach and that should see chances few and far between.
Under 2.5 goals is my primary pick, with a share of the points also expected at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
