Sports Innovation previews the Serie A match between Inter Milan and Napoli and offers team stats and betting tips with the latest odds.
Inter Milan take on Napoli at San Siro for arguably the biggest fixture in Europe on Sunday evening.
The showdown in Milan could prove decisive in the title race. Inter cannot afford to drop points, having already slipped seven points behind joint-leaders Napoli and AC Milan in the Serie A table. Given the latter’s 4-3 defeat to Fiorentina, however, they have a golden opportunity to close that gap.
Napoli, on the other hand, hope the likes of Victor Osimhen and Lorenzo Insigne will be at their best as they seek to extend their unbeaten start and move clear from AC Milan at the top of Serie A.
