Napoli take on the visitors Inter in the round 8 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, October 25th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli reclaimed the Scudetto under Spalletti after a long wait. However, everything soon collapsed, and it was no coincidence that Luciano, sensing the storm early, left immediately after lifting the trophy. The club returned to the top once Antonio Conte took charge, and although he considered stepping down as well, he ultimately decided to stay in Naples. Despite a few setbacks — including a Champions League defeat to Manchester City while playing with ten men, and a Serie A loss to direct rivals AC Milan — Napoli still look like one of the strongest sides in the country. The newcomers from England have brought new energy and structure to their game. Still, the team’s recent inconsistency is worrying: they suffered a 0-1 defeat to Torino in the league and followed it up with a disastrous loss to PSV in Eindhoven, again ending the match with ten players. Their challenge now is to restore confidence and prove that their early-season form was no accident.

Inter are beginning a new chapter in their history. “Nerazzurri” said goodbye to Simone Inzaghi earlier this summer after a highly successful spell that included the 2024 Scudetto. For a moment, it looked as though Inter might achieve the treble, but that dream quickly vanished after a series of disappointing results. Following the arrival of Kivu as head coach, the team’s performances have been mixed — with early elimination from the Club World Cup, a surprise defeat to Udinese, and a painful shootout loss to Juventus. On the positive side, Inter have still managed to win most of their matches, showing flashes of their trademark resilience and tactical discipline. After the international break, they edged past Roma with a narrow 1-0 victory and continued their strong Champions League form with a dominant win over Royal Union this week. The momentum seems to be back on their side, even if defensive lapses occasionally appear.
The last three meetings between these Italian giants all ended in identical 1-1 draws, showing just how evenly matched the sides have been. Recent performances have made many tip the visitors from Milan to win, but Napoli at home will undoubtedly put up a strong fight. The best bet here is “both teams to score.”
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
