Inter vs SSC Napoli

Inter and Napoli meet at San Siro on September 5 in a clash that could shape the early Scudetto picture. Both sides won their Serie A openers and currently sit second and third respectively, just behind early pace-setters Roma, early proof that this fixture already carries real weight this season. Inter, unbeaten in 18 matches, breezed past Monza 4-1 in their opener, with Francesco Pio Esposito and Hakan Calhanoglu among the scorers and new arrivals John Stones and Djed Spence bolstering the squad. Napoli, now led by Massimiliano Allegri after Antonio Conte's exit, opened with a 2-0 win over Genoa thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Antonio Vergara, with new signing Rasmus Hojlund arriving from Manchester United to lead the line. The all-time head-to-head sits at 13 wins for Napoli to Inter's 12, with 14 draws, and the Neapolitans have gone unbeaten against Inter in their last five meetings. Our prediction: 2-1
