- Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)
Napoli played an excellent season and won their third Scudetto in the club's history. They waited more than 30 years for it, so this season has to be considered as successful. Still, if we look at how dominant they were in Serie A, they could probably do much better in Cup competitions.
Since Napoli won the Serie A title, they are not playing even remotely as well as before. In the last four games, they won just once - against Fiorentina 1:0.
Inter just eliminated AC Milan in the Champions League Semi-Finals and will meet with Manchester City in the finals. They will also play against Fiorentina in the Coppa de Italia so they can win two trophies this season. Still, in Serie A, they are in 3rd place with 66 points in 35 matches, and their only goal is to stay among the top four teams.
Inter are in superb form with eight wins in a row before the Napoli game. But since they played vs AC Milan in the middle of the week, we could see some rotations.
Napoli vs Inter pick: Under 2.5 goals
Napoli are not even close to their level from the start or middle of the season. They won just two games in the last eight matches in all competitions and scored only five goals in those eight matches.
Napoli were under 2.5 goals in the previous eight matches.
Inter won eight in a row and kept a clean sheet in six of those eight matches! Since they are great defensively, we have seen just one game with more than three goals in the previous four matches.
In the last eight h2h games, we have seen just one game with more than 2.5 goals.

An important right attacking-winger, Hirving Lozano, will miss the game with a knee injury.
A starting left full-back, Mario Rui, missed the previous five matches with a foot injury. He will miss the Inter game too.
The main question for Napoli is will coach Luciano Spalletti stay next season. A few days ago, Spalleti confirmed that he will stay at the club. "We had a positive meeting with the president yesterday... the future is gonna be exciting, I'm sure of that," he added.
