by Kennedy Kechula | in Serie A Predictions
The top two finishers in Serie A in the last two seasons, Napoli and Inter Milan, go head-to-head in a top Serie A clash on Saturday. Inter Milan have the rights to host this first meeting of what easily passes as the biggest game in Serie A this weekend. Whereas Inter Milan’s league title defence started on the right footing, Napoli have shown a few signs of struggling and will be hoping for a statement victory here. The hosts are riding from their fine run last season, which saw them win the domestic double for the first time since 2010. Napoli will not be favoured by the predictions ahead of this encounter, as a win at San Siro comes rarely for the former champions. It is over nine years since that happened, but there is a ray of hope in the two sides having drawn the last three matches at Inter Milan’s base. Below is our preview of the match.

Inter Milan - Napoli: Form Analysis
Inter Milan are in line for three straight wins to start off a Serie A season for the first time in three seasons. They started off this campaign with a 4-1 win against Monza and then a 1-0 away win at Cagliari. Their home form is convincing enough that they can achieve that, having recorded 15 wins in the last 20 Serie A matches they’ve hosted.
The Nerazzurri have only suffered two defeats in that run; it is getting to 10 months since they last lost a home game in the league. However, they are winless in the last five against Napoli, four having ended in draws and a 3-1 defeat in the corresponding meeting.
The last three meetings between these teams were drawn.
Napoli started their season on a winning note, with a routine victory at Genoa. Though they laboured through it, they eventually earned a 2-0 win to kick off their campaign. A reality check was, however, awaiting in the shape of fast-rising Como on matchday two.
The two sides traded first-half goals with Rasmus Hojlund’s equaliser setting parity for only four minutes. With the Champions League main draw matches coming right after this encounter, both teams will treat this as a high-end dress rehearsal. Napoli’s win probability here will be lowered by the fact that they conceded at least once in each of the last 15 meetings with Inter Milan.

Inter Milan & Napoli Squad Analysis
Hakan Calhanoglu will be Inter Milan’s shining light in this game, as he is not only in good form but also has good numbers against Napoli. The Turkish midfielder scored the first goal in both of Inter Milan’s league matches this season. It is just the right shape Inter want their talisman in, as he has had six goal contributions in his last nine meetings with Napoli.
At the heart of Inter Milan’s defence, the champions are also benefitting from the reunion of former Manchester City men John Stones and Manuel Akanji. Last season’s Serie A MVP Federico Dimarco adds to this star-studded Inter side, and he will be fired up after picking his award on Wednesday.
Inter Milan’s new signing Djed Spence is ruled out, while Napoli's McTominay has a heart surgery.
Napoli no longer have former Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku to trouble the champions. There is actually a feeling they head to this game lighter, and of course it isn’t helped by the fact they lost to Como last time out.
Napoli's Scott McTominay, who grabbed two goals the last time these two sides faced off, is set for a minor heart surgery and will be out of this game. It will then call on Kevin De Bruyne to rise to the occasion. The Belgian had two goal involvements the last time Napoli played away from home and will want to have a similar impact here.
