Tipster’s Angle

It is a very important clash in terms of the title race for Inter and the top four race for Napoli. By considering the recent head to head matches and the current form, Inter have a better chance to win against Napoli.

Even the last two head to head matches hosted at Naples had Inter scoring first. In the last nine matches across competitions, Inter managed to find the back of the net first in all nine occasions. Even in the last four away matches that Inter has played in Serie A, they scored first in all four matches.
