Saturday night’s Serie A blockbuster at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona sees reigning champions Napoli host Inter Milan in a high-stakes clash that could have early implications in the Scudetto race. Both sides enter this Round 9 encounter in the top four and separated only by goal difference, with Napoli hoping to reclaim top spot while Inter look to extend their unbeaten run. The fixture promises to be one of the most refined and tactically charged games of the season, as two of Italy’s most consistent sides in recent seasons go head-to-head.

Serie A
Recent history between Napoli and Inter has been closely contested. In their last five Serie A meetings, neither side has truly had the upper hand - their three most recent encounters have all ended in identical 1-1 draws, while both teams claimed one win each during the 2023 calendar year. However, stretching their head-to-head record back to 2020 reveals Inter’s dominance: Napoli have managed just one victory in their last 12 meetings against the Nerazzurri.
Napoli team overview
After an excellent start to their title defence with four straight wins, Napoli have lost some momentum in recent weeks but still sit third with 15 points from seven matches (W5, D0, L2), only one point behind leaders AC Milan. Antonio Conte’s men have fallen to two defeats in their last three Serie A fixtures - a 2-1 loss to Milan and a surprising 1-0 defeat away at Torino - though both setbacks occurred on the road. At home, Napoli have been flawless, boasting a 100% record with three wins from three at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
However, their midweek Champions League outing brought disappointment, as they suffered a heavy 6-2 defeat away to PSV Eindhoven. Despite that setback, Napoli’s attacking efficiency remains impressive - they have scored in every Serie A match this season except the loss to Torino. Defensively, though, the situation is less stable, with no clean sheets in five consecutive league matches.
Conte faces significant injury problems ahead of this clash, with Rasmus Højlund, Nikita Contini, Amir Rrahmani, Stanislav Lobotka, and Romelu Lukaku all sidelined and unavailable for selection.

Inter team overview
Inter continue to look like serious title contenders. Level on 15 points with Napoli, they currently sit second in the table thanks to a superior +10 goal difference. After a slow start to the 2025/26 campaign, which included defeats to Udinese (2-1) and Juventus (4-3), Christian Chivu’s side have rediscovered their rhythm. The Nerazzurri are now one of Serie A’s form teams, having won four consecutive league matches, including two away victories, both accompanied by clean sheets.
Their confidence has also been reinforced by strong Champions League results - albeit against less formidable opposition - with a 3-0 win over Slavia Praha followed by a 4-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise on Tuesday night. Defensively, Inter appear to be back to their resilient best, and their attacking unit led by Lautaro Martínez continues to deliver consistent output.
Chivu will have to cope without Marcus Thuram and Matteo Darmian, both ruled out through injury.

Prediction
This encounter pits Serie A’s most balanced and efficient attack (Inter) against Napoli’s perfect home record. Napoli’s scoring depth and home advantage make them formidable, while Inter’s organisation, tactical discipline, and sharp transitional play have been defining strengths for several seasons. Both teams have displayed attacking consistency - Napoli have scored in six of their last seven matches, while Inter have netted in six consecutive games.
Given their form and quality on both ends, this promises to be a fiercely contested matchup. Expect an open, entertaining encounter with both teams likely to score at least once.
Prediction: BTTS
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- BTTS occurred in 4 of their last 5 head-to-head meetings.
- Napoli have scored in all Serie A fixtures except a 1-0 loss to Torino.
- Inter have scored in 6 consecutive Serie A games and have the most potent attack in the league (18 goals scored).
