Inter Milan vs Napoli Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

Gli Azzurri dominated the proceedings when they last faced the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan are all set to host SSC Napoli for their matchweek 20 contest of the 2025-26 Serie A. This is going to be an intense battle between these sides, taking place at the San Siro Stadium.

FC Internazionale Milano are coming in after securing a 2-0 win against Parma Calcio in their previous league outing. They continue their winning run of form and will now be keen to extend it. The Nerazzurri are at the top of the table and will be full of confidence coming into their next game. It is not going to be an easy game for them.

SSC Napoli secured a 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona in their last Serie A clash. They gave up the lead early in the match, but made a comeback in the second half. This led them to drop a couple of points, which is not going to be healthy for them to defend their league title. Gli Azzurri are now placed third on the points table.
