Serie A returns with a bang at the San Siro on Wednesday and these Inter vs. Napoli predictions suggest that the fans are in for a treat. Both sides will be keen to get off to a good start in 2023.
Inter vs. Napoli odds
1 – The draw – 12/5
2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 8/11
3 – Both teams to score – 4/7
4 – 2-2 at full time – 10/1
5 – Victor Osimhen to score at any time – 15/8
Inter finished off 2022 in style, thrashing Bologna and overcoming an improved Atalanta side away from home to give themselves renewed hope as Serie A returns to action after the World Cup. But now Simone Inzaghi must figure out how to get his team to break into the top four.
It is going to a close race for the Champions League spots this season and the Nerazzurri will not want to miss out – especially if city rivals Milan can claim a place again. Three points to start off the year would be perfect – but that is a tough ask against this Napoli side.
The good news is that Romelu Lukaku looks to be back from the injury that kept him out of the majority of Belgium’s games in Qatar. Even if he doesn’t start in Wednesday, he could be crucial coming off the bench later.
Napoli won’t be favourites to win this one away from home. But there won’t be many Serie A fans expecting the Partenopei to come away from the San Siro empty handed. The league leaders haven’t lost a game all season and are currently on an 11-game winning streak.
Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has been one of the main reasons for Napoli’s success so far this season and could find the net once again on Wednesday. Although we expect this to be a close game, there could also be a few goals to enjoy as well.
That’s why we predict over 2.5 goals being scored, as two of the most exciting teams in Serie A get back into action. After such a long break because of the World Cup in Qatar, Calcio fans will be eagerly looking forward to some domestic action.

Inter team news
Simone Inzaghi will be waiting to see if Henrikh Mkhitaryan is fit to start after suffering an injury in Inter’s final warm up game. If the Armenian midfielder is unable to play here, Roberto Gagliardini may well deputise. Romelu Lukaku could start up front too, if Lautaro Martinez is still deemed unready after the World Cup.
Napoli team news
Luciano Spalletti should have a full squad to choose from as Napoli return to action at the top of the league. That means that the sensational Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could start. His performances have drawn admirers from all over Europe but Napoli will be keen to keep him at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for a little while longer.
