Inter Milan are set to play Napoli at the San Siro on Sunday for their next Serie A fixture.
Inter Milan come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Stefano Pioli's AC Milan in the league. A first-half penalty from Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu for Inter Milan was cancelled out by an own goal from Dutch centre-back Stefan de Vrij for AC Milan.
Napoli, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Igor Tudor's Hellas Verona in the league. A first-half goal from Argentine striker Giovanni Simeone for Hellas Verona was cancelled out by a goal from right-back Giovanni Di Lorenzo for Napoli. Hellas Verona had midfielder Daniel Bessa and Croatian striker Nikola Kalinic sent off in the second-half.

Inter Milan vs Napoli Prediction
Inter Milan are currently 3rd in Serie A, seven points behind league leaders Napoli. Credit must be given to manager Simone Inzaghi for the work he has done so far, especially given the fact that Inter Milan sold two important players in the summer in the form of Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku.
Napoli, on the other hand, are the surprise league leaders. They are yet to lose a game in Serie A this season, and have been the beneficiaries for some excellent displays from stars like Victor Osimhen and Lorenzo Insigne.
A close match is on the cards, and a draw seems to be an ideal result.
Prediction: Inter Milan 1-1 Napoli
