Napoli take on the visitors Inter in the round 14 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, December 3rd at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Struggling at the start of the new season, the reigning champion of Italy currently sits in the fourth position in the table, trailing the leading Inter by 8 points. Clearly, Napoli needs a victory in their upcoming home match. However, securing it will be very challenging. But at least, the hosts should score a goal. Napoli's attack is in good shape, having scored 26 goals in 13 rounds, averaging exactly two goals per game. They have failed to disappoint their opponents in only two league matches so far. Often this season, the "Little Donkeys" play with Over 2.5 goals, which has happened eight times in the league, plus goal exchanges occurred in four out of five matches involving the team in the Champions League.

Inter also participates in the Champions League, where they played Over 2.5 in three out of five matches. In Serie A, they are currently the best, rightfully occupying the top position in the table. The efficiency of Simone Inzaghi's team is even higher than that of Napoli - 30 goals scored in 13 rounds. Inter have not left the field without scoring a goal in the opponent's net this season. Moreover, in 9 out of 13 Serie A rounds, the team scored more than one goal. While Inter concedes a bit more, often keeping clean sheets, it doesn't happen every time. In the last round, for example, the "Nerazzurri" played to a goal-filled draw with Juventus (1-1), and before that, they triumphed over Atalanta (2-1). They dominated in the Milan derby against their most principled opponent but still conceded (5-1). There was also a draw with Bologna (2-2) and a defeat to Sassuolo (1-2).
The reigning champion of the country will face the strongest team in Italy of the last four months at their home ground. The clash promises to be intense, and perhaps only the most daring adventurers will put real money on the outcome of this match. The balance in Naples can easily shift in either direction or towards a draw. However, regardless of the match result, it seems right and reasonable to believe in goals from both sides. These two bright attacking teams are capable of upsetting each other at least once during the ninety minutes. Lately, both Napoli and Inter have been more inclined to play matches with Over 2.5 goals than otherwise. In their last five head-to-head matches at the Diego Maradona Stadium, goal exchanges have consistently occurred: 3-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-1, 1-3. My prediction for the central match of the 14th round of the Italian Serie A is "Both Teams to Score."
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
