Inter vs Napoli Prediction 17.03.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 17.03.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)

Inter certainly faced a challenging elimination in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, due to a penalty against Atletico Madrid. There’s no denying that the Milan-based club had high hopes for this competition, especially after reaching the final in the previous season. However, their Serie A journey is progressing as expected, with Inter potentially securing a new championship title soon. With a significant 16-point lead over their city rivals, Milan, their dominance is clear. A winning streak of ten consecutive Serie A matches only further solidifies their current status as the country’s best team.

Napoli also faced elimination in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, albeit with a less difficult match against Barcelona. The final score was 3-1, favoring the Catalonian club. It appears that this season will be particularly bleak for the reigning champion of Italy. They were knocked out of the Italian Cup quite some time ago, and currently sit in 7th place in the championship with minimal chances of securing a position that would admit them to European competitions. With only one win in their last nine away games, Napoli’s crisis is clearly evident.

Inter vs Napoli pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

It is likely that the defeat in the Champions League will in some way affect Inter, from whom one should not expect too much motivation in this match. Not only because of the elimination, but also because of the big point difference and the safe first place. Inter won the last 4 matches against Napoli at this stadium, but they were always very close victories. Napoli scored 23 goals in 14 away matches this season. We expect a dynamic match, which could be without much pressure, so the bet that both teams score at least one goal is a very good option here.
