Inter take on the visitors Napoli in the round 20 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 11th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Inter went through a difficult previous season. They were aiming for another Super Cup, but lost the decisive match to Milan, and then their neighbors also eliminated the favorites in the Coppa Italia semifinals. At the same time, a couple of costly mistakes in Serie A cost them first place. Their final match under the previous coach ended in a heavy 0-5 defeat to PSG in the Champions League final. Under the current head coach, Chivu, there have already been setbacks as well. Inter were unimpressive at the Club World Cup in the summer and recently lost the Super Cup to Bologna on penalties. On the positive side, they quickly secured progression to the Champions League playoffs. In Serie A, despite all reservations, they finished 2025 in first place and continued winning in January, including a 2-0 victory over Parma this week. Recent league performances show that Inter are capable of maintaining a high level over long stretches. Even when problems arise, they usually respond with solid results, especially against teams from the upper half of the table.

Napoli clearly have no intention of giving up individual matches or entire tournaments. The Partenopei, under Conte, managed to regain the Scudetto last season. This time, they also claimed the first trophy in Italian football by winning the Super Cup, with confident victories over Milan and Bologna. However, not everything has been smooth, and there were reasons why rumors appeared about the coach potentially leaving Naples. The situation in the Champions League has been especially difficult, with defeats in half of their matches. Serie A has also brought its share of dropped points, although rivals have been far from perfect, leaving Napoli with a real chance to return to the top. Still, in the previous round they suffered another setback, drawing 2-2 with Verona. Napoli’s recent form suggests a team that remains highly competitive but not always consistent. They continue to pick up important points, yet away games against direct rivals have often proven problematic.
The teams drew three matches in a row, all ending 1-1. However, in October in Naples, the hosts finally managed to win. The more stable side is playing at home. The bet here is on the hosts being able to defeat one of their main challengers under these conditions.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
