Inter Off to a Fast Start


Inter Milan’s title defence got off to a solid start, beating Monza 4-1 at San Siro. They had 70% possession with four different goalscorers finding the net.

Cristian Chivu’s side were dominant at Cagliari on Sunday where they registered a 1-0 victory. Hakan Çalhanoglu scored again as Inter ended with 65% possession, 7-0 shots on target and 3.67-0.48 xG.

The Campania club suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Como on Sunday. On the wrong end of a 21-13 shot out, Allegri’s side had just 42% possession at Stadio Diego Maradona.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Inter Milan (3-5-2) Josep Martínez; Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, Alessandro Bastoni; Andy Diouf, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoglu, Petar Sucic, Federico Dimarco; Lautaro Martínez, Francesco Esposito

Yann Bisseck and Benjamin Pavard compete for a spot in central defence, Luis Henrique and Andy Diouf batting it out to start at right-back.

Pio Esposito looks to have earned a starting spot up front next to Lautaro Martínez, Marcus Thuram and Ange-Yoan Bonny options off the bench.

Napoli (4-3-3) Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Rafa Marín, Leonardo Spinazzola; Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Kevin De Bruyne; Matteo Politano, Rasmus Hojlund, Noa Lang

Centre-backs Alessandro Buongiorno and Luca Marianucci are injured alongside Brazilian striker Giovane.

Leonardo Spinazzola could replace Mathías Olivera at left-back and David Neres is an option to start on the wing.

Scott McTominay has a heart condition and is set to undergo surgery. Expect Kevin De Bruyne to come into the starting side here.

Verdict

Napoli are coming off a home defeat to Como and could find themselves chasing the ball in Milan. Inter are the champions for a reason and can win at handy odds.
