Inter – Naples is played on Wednesday starting at 19:45 pm. This match is part of the tour of the semifinals of the Italian Cup.
The host team comes after the weekend passed the great rival, AC Milan, with a score of 4-2 and returned to the first position in Serie A. So, after many years, the “nerazzurii” show that they have the strength to fight with Juventus for the title. This is certainly the main objective of the group led by Antonio Conte, and this “double” with Naples comes in an intense period for Giuseppe Meazza’s team. After playing with AC Milan at the weekend, at 3 days this game comes with Napoli, and at the end of the week Inter will play away to Lazio. And this is just the beginning because from February 9 (the match with AC Milan) and until March 8, Conte’s team will play 9 games.
On the other side, Napoli is not looking forward to anything this season in the domestic competition, where it occupies the 11th position, at 12 lengths away from the places leading into the Champions League next season. Under these circumstances, G. Gattuso’s team seems to focus on the Italian Cup and the Champions League. Considering that in the European competition a “double” will be played with Barcelona “, the cup seems to be the main objective for the group from San Paolo.
So, at first glance, Inter seems clearly the favorite, but for the “nerazzuri” there is a busy period, and for Naples, the cup seems to be the main achievable goal of the season. The visiting team has quality players on the offensive and it is noteworthy that the starting goalkeeper of the home team, Samir Handanovic is injured.
PREDICTION: Inter to win @ 1,98
