Inter's ability to score and defend has been evenly balanced, with an average of 1.2 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded per game over the last five matches. Their expected goals metrics mirror Napoli's closely, standing at 1.918, indicating a similar offensive potential. Inter's defensive resilience is further highlighted by their ability to secure one clean sheet in their recent fixtures.

Final Prediction

Inter holds a slight edge over Napoli going into this fixture, primarily due to their recent form and standing at the top of the league. The ability of Inter to convert opportunities and maintain a solid defensive structure could prove decisive. A key factor to watch will be how Napoli's attack, guided by their expected goals statistic, manages to break through Inter's defense, setting the stage for an exciting encounter.
