According to the best 2025 football betting apps, Napoli are the slight home underdogs at 3.20 (11/5). A draw is offered at 3.20 (11/5), while Inter are the away favorites at 2.40 (7/5) to beat Gli Azzurri in the 27th Serie A round.
The Nerazzurri have absolutely dominated this matchup in the last few years, as in the last 10 head-to-head games, Inter won five, drew four, and Napoli won only once.
Napoli are currently sitting in second place in the Serie A standings with 56 points. The Partenopei lost to Lazio in the Coppa Italia round of 16, and they haven’t participated in any European competitions this season, so they only have the league title to play for.
Gli Azzurri are coming off a disappointing 2-1 away loss to Como in Serie A. Napoli were on top of the league for the majority of the season, but they dropped into second place with this defeat, marking their fourth consecutive winless game. The Partenopei have the best defense in Serie A, but they also have the worst offense among the top four teams.
Napoli will be without Frank Anguissa, David Neres, and Pasquale Mazzocchi for this game, but they are all expected to be fit by mid-March.
Inter Milan are currently on top of the Serie A standings with 57 points. The Nerazzurri finished inside the top four in the UCL league phase, and they will face Feyenoord in the round of 16. Inter will also face AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semifinals.
The Nerazzurri are coming off a 2-0 home win over Lazio in the Coppa Italia. Mark Arnautovic and Hakan Calhanoglu scored the winning goals for Inter. Simone Inzaghi rested some of the regular starters in this game, like Lautaro Martinez, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Francesco Acerbi, so they are fresh and ready for Napoli.
Inter have a lot of injuries to deal with, as Matteo Darmian, Yann Sommer, and Nicola Zalewski are all out, while Marcus Thuram and Carlos Augusto are doubtful.

Napoli haven’t been the same since their seven-game winning streak ended, as they couldn’t win any of their four matches after that. Inter Milan are the opposite, having won three of their last four games, including having clean sheets in their last two.
The Nerazzurri have had some good results against Gli Azzurri lately, and they will be motivated to beat their former coach, Antonio Conte. We usually don’t get such odds on Inter Milan from the Serie A 2025 betting sites, so this is a good opportunity to take the Nerazzurri on the moneyline.

Both teams are in solid attacking form right now, as Inter Milan have scored at least one goal in 16 of their last 18 matches, while Napoli are on an 11-game scoring streak. Six of their last nine head-to-head games have seen both teams scoring, so there’s a big chance of that happening again, especially with the amount of talent on both sides.

Lautaro Martinez is 5th on the Serie A 24/25 top scorers list with 10 goals and three assists. The Argentinian striker is in great form, having scored eight goals and had one assist in his last 10 starts, and he is coming off a rest and should be on top of his game. Martinez has seven goal contributions in 14 games against Napoli, and he is on penalty duty for Inter, which can be helpful to get on the score sheet.
The Nerazzurri have the form and confidence going into this game, and we expect them to get the win. Make sure you use our 2025 Napoli vs Inter betting predictions and bet them at the legal bookies in Italy to have more fun watching the game.
