Predictions and betting tips

Napoli has been in great form this season as they sit at the top of the Serie A table. They have scored the most goals in the league (37). Inter have scored the second most goals in the league (34). Five of the last five Napoli games have ended in over 3.5 goals. Two of the last five Inter games have ended in over 3.5 goals. I predict over 3.5 goals

Three of the last five Napoli games have ended 3-2. Napoli are very clinical in front of the goal and Inter is also very good in front of the goal. This looks to be an interesting game. I see Napoli edging it by a small margin as they have been the better side this season and the only unbeaten team in the league in Europe. I predict Napoli to win 3-2. Also, few goals should be expected in this derby.

Betting prediction: Over 3.5 goals.
Odds: 2.70 (+170 American; 17/10 Fractional)

Betting prediction: Correct score 2-3
Odds: 26.00 (+2500 American; 25/1 )
