In this article...

A heavyweight clash in Naples pits last season’s top two against each other, with early season form again suggesting both will be major players in the Scudetto race.

Momentum clearly rests with the visitors, who travel south on the back of seven straight victories across all competitions, while the champions have stumbled under Antonio Conte, losing four of their last seven matches.

Back on home soil after consecutive away trips, Napoli will look to restore authority at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where their record remains formidable, having gone fifteen home games unbeaten in all competitions (W12, D3).

These Napoli v Inter Milan Betting Stats also offer further insight ahead of Saturday's clash at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

4 Selections @ 3.42

Over 7.5 Corners

Both sides’ playing styles and attacking philosophies, with width and progressive build-up at their core, align perfectly for this market. Napoli’s matches this season are averaging 10.14 corners per game in Serie A, with eight or more landing in all but one. Home advantage further strengthens the angle, with total match returns of 12, 8 and 13 so far this season. Inter’s data mirrors this output, averaging 11.57 corners per game in Serie A, with eight or more landing in all seven league fixtures. On the road, they remain equally strong, producing match totals of 9, 8 and 14.

Historical precedent also supports this. Despite recent meetings being tightly contested, at least eight corners have landed in four of the last five head-to-heads, including all of the last three in Naples. With both sides relying heavily on wing play and overlapping full-backs, this match should again deliver the required volume of corners.

Over 1.5 Goals

As outlined throughout this article, these fixtures tend to be tense and tactical, evidenced by three consecutive 1-1 draws between the sides. Yet, that still suits this line perfectly, with the expectation of at least two goals. Napoli’s matches have seen two or more goals in eight of their ten this season, while Inter have recorded that figure in nine of ten.

Both teams’ games across all competitions, in respective home and away settings, are averaging over three total goals. While Inter’s defensive structure is strong, with four consecutive clean sheets on the road, containing this Napoli side is another matter. The champions have scored in all of their last 15 home games, but too have clean sheets proved scarce, with just one in four. Given Inter’s attacking rhythm and consistency, scoring in all five away matches this season, this line looks well-supported and statistically sound for at least two goals.

Scott McTominay to have 1+ Shots on Target

Last season’s player of the year remains central to everything Napoli do, from transitional play to attacking progression. McTominay is regularly testing goalkeepers, averaging 2.22 shots per 90 this season, which provides a strong base for at least one to hit the target. His shot on-target average sits narrowly below the mark at 0.93 per 90 across all competitions, but rises to 1.03 in Serie A.

The Scotsman’s accuracy is proven, netting both of Napoli’s goals in last weekend’s defeat to PSV, a match where chances were scarce. Even in games where Napoli see limited possession, McTominay continues to be their key outlet. He also registered an effort on target in both meetings with Inter last season, further adding confidence to this selection.

Hakan Calhanoglu to have 1+ Shots

Despite operating from a deeper role this season, Çalhanoğlu continues to be one of his side’s reliable shooters. The Turkish playmaker is averaging 2.99 shots per 90, maintaining a perfect record of registering at least one in every game so far, and two or more in six of eight. His ability to dictate tempo and take responsibility from distance makes this line straightforward to back.

Whether through direct efforts from open play or set-pieces, Çalhanoğlu’s shooting frequency and technical confidence ensure he remains a consistent threat in every match scenario. His record against Napoli further strengthens this angle, with shot returns of 2, 4, 0, 3 and 2 across their last five head-to-head meetings.

📈 Napoli v Inter Milan Form & Tactics

Napoli edged out Inter in last season’s title chase, but their defence of the crown has already faced turbulence. Conte’s side have collected five wins from their opening seven Serie A matches, yet arrive here reeling from a humbling 6–2 defeat to PSV midweek. The return home could not come at a better time: Napoli have taken maximum points from their three home league games this term, extending an unbeaten Serie A run at the Maradona to fourteen matches (W11, D3). Tight margins are becoming a theme though, with seven of those victories arriving by a single goal. Their record against Inter also offers a note of caution, with just one win from the last thirteen head-to-head meetings (D6, L6), and each of the last three ending 1–1.

Inter, meanwhile, continue to operate like a machine. Their 4–0 dismantling of Royale Union SG in the Champions League made it seven successive victories in all competitions, five of which have included clean sheets. Confidence, structure and sharpness are all aligning at once. Away form has been equally impressive, with six wins from their last seven trips (L1), including a 1–0 success at Roma last weekend. This will be their third away fixture in a week, but with Simone Inzaghi’s rotation policy keeping legs fresh and rhythm intact, they arrive as perhaps the most balanced side in Europe right now.


📔 Napoli v Inter Milan Formation & Team News

Napoli are expected to continue in a 4-3-3 that transitions into a 4-1-4-1 when building possession. Antonio Conte’s side rely heavily on width and midfield rotations to sustain control, with Rasmus Højlund leading the line and Matteo Politano providing incision from the right. Their structure allows full-backs to advance high, but that aggression has occasionally left space to exploit on the counter. Conte will be demanding a reaction after the heavy midweek defeat, yet team stability should remain, as injuries are minimal and the core of his starting eleven is intact.

Inter, by contrast, are at their most comfortable in Simone Inzaghi’s tried-and-trusted 3-5-2. The back three of Bastoni, Acerbi and Pavard has been the foundation of their recent consistency, protected by Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s intelligent positioning at the base of midfield. Nicolò Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan supply balance and forward thrust, while Lautaro Martínez and Esposito continue to operate as a devastating front pairing. Inzaghi’s men will look to assert early control through midfield overloads and rapid vertical transitions, seeking to exploit any gaps behind Napoli’s adventurous full-backs.
