Napoli take on the visitors Inter in the round 36 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, May 21st at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli had an incredible season. Despite many key players leaving during the past summer transfer window, the goal for 2022 was to maintain the level achieved under Spalletti - a third-place finish in the previous campaign. However, they exceeded all expectations. It became clear even in winter that the Scudetto was finally returning to the South, for the first time since Maradona's era. However, Napoli faced some difficulties in the spring. They were eliminated from the cup after a home defeat to the modest Cremonese, and they rightfully lost in the quarter-finals of the Champions League to Milan. In Serie A, they couldn't beautifully seal the long-awaited gold as they were mostly held to draws against Salernitana and Udinese. They did manage to secure a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina at home but then suffered a 0-2 defeat to newly promoted Monza.

Inter are also celebrating just as much as Napoli. They defeated Milan again on Tuesday, securing a place in the final of the Champions League. By the way, the Nerazzurri also won 3-0 against the Rossoneri in the Super Cup of the country. The next week, on Wednesday, they have another important match: Simone Inzaghi's team reached the final of the Italian Cup (knocking out Juventus in the semi-finals) and they want to win that title as well. In theory, they could rest now and save their energy for the crucial match against Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia. However, they also need to continue accumulating points in Serie A. By winning several matches in April and May, they managed to reclaim the third place. But the distance is still not significant enough. It is desirable to keep earning points in the remaining rounds of the league, especially since the circumstances are favorable for the team. However, they still need to find the strength to take advantage of these opportunities.
Inter has not lost in their last 7 direct encounters. Even in this championship season for Napoli, they managed to win with a single goal from Edin Dzeko in early January at the Giuseppe Meazza. Based on the odds, the teams seem evenly matched. It is unlikely that this match will be high-scoring and it could once again end with a 1-0 victory for one of the teams. We recommend betting on under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
