-----------------------------

Inter Milan and Napoli are set for another highly anticipated Serie A clash after trading the top two spots over the past two seasons. Inter have made a strong start to their title defence, while Napoli will look to bounce back after suffering a defeat to Como last week.

Team Analysis:

Inter Milan have started the new Serie A season perfectly with two wins as they aim to defend their title and chase a 22nd Scudetto. Napoli, meanwhile, will look to recover from their shock defeat to Como when they visit San Siro for another crucial clash with Inter.

Player Situation:

Inter Milan's summer transfer window ended quietly despite three English signings, with John Stones and Curtis Jones featuring in Cagliari while Djed Spence remains sidelined with a fitness issue. Federico Dimarco was also honoured as Serie A's MVP for 2025-26, while Hakan Calhanoglu remains a key figure against Napoli. Napoli, meanwhile, will be without Scott McTominay for several weeks after his heart procedure, while Alessandro Buongiorno, Luca Marianucci and Giovane are also unavailable. Kevin De Bruyne could step in for McTominay after impressing against Como.

Result Prediction:

Napoli have struggled for consistency since Antonio Conte's departure, while Inter Milan continue to set the pace and look increasingly dominant in Serie A. The Nerazzurri are expected to extend their perfect start to nine points and leave Napoli empty-handed at San Siro.

Predicted Result: Inter Milan 2-0 Napoli.
