On Sunday, all eyes will be on the Serie A for Napoli vs Inter Milan at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. While Napoli has already clinched the Scudetto, top four has not yet been officially won by Inter. In fact, AC Milan sit just five points behind them on 61. There is a scenario where they could be caught and bumped should they lose two out of their remaining three matches.

Nonetheless, Sunday’s contest should be great either way with the pride and talent both of these clubs boast. You could say that both of them are riding a high in recent days, with Napoli fans still enjoying their first league title since the 90’s and Inter reaching their first Champions League final since 2010.

Napoli vs Inter Milan Odds

Matchup Moneyline Odds
Napoli +170
Inter Milan +150
Draw +215

All in all, the visitors are the moneyline favorites with odds of +150, equating to a 40% implied win probability. These Serie A odds are more than fair considering their recent 4-3-0 head-to-head record vs Napoli and their current eight game winning run. Napoli’s odds sit slightly higher at +170, most likely due to the fact they are only 3-4-3 over their last ten in all competitions.

Furthermore, you can play the draw no bet at -110 for either side. This is a great angle if you like Inter Milan but are not fully sold on a win at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. For this bet, if the game ends in a draw, the bet pushes are you at least get your money back.

Napoli vs Inter Milan – Over/Under Odds

Currently, the odds on over 2.5 goals are even money at +100, while the reverse option sits at -125. In their eight ten head-to-head battles, the under has hit 88% of the time. Napoli’s last seven matches have also stayed under the 2.5 total goal tally, which is quite surreal. With Inter likely tired from their Champions League battle in the midweek, I like a play on this game being slower than usual.

However, if one team does score, I think it will be Inter Milan, and they will surely do so first. The odds on them scoring first sit at -105, which is great value considering they have scored first in eight of their last nine across all competitions. Napoli are still experiencing the hangover of their glorious Scudetto victory, which will undoubtedly slow them down at the start.

If you are feeling more confident in a free-flowing match, a play on Lautaro Martinez to score (+160) in a not a bad half-unit bet. He has scored six in six, at a clip of a goal per 59 minutes.

Inter to Make Use of Their Last Real Test

Overall, I do favor Inter on the night because their form has been outrageous. I have also learned that you simply never bet on a team that has already won the title and has nothing to play for; it just never works out.

Moreover, Filippo Inzaghi will take this match very seriously as it is his last serious tune-up before facing Manchester City in Istanbul. Inter’s remaining schedule features the likes of Fiorentina, Atalanta and Torino. In reality, this is Inzaghi’s last chance to test his team against serious players like Victor Osimhen and Kim Min-jae. I expect them to make the most out of the night and give it a proper go against what is still a ridiculously good Napoli squad.
