Inter Milan vs. Napoli Betting Tips: Best bets for Wednesday's stand-out fixture in Serie A
There is a full slate of fixtures in Serie A on Wednesday 4 January with Inter Milan against Napoli the stand-out fixture. The game kicks-off at 7:45pm Live on BT Sport and here at BettingOdds.com, we’ve previewed the game and provided you with our best bets.
This will be the first set of fixtures in Serie A since the World Cup and Winter break, with Inter currently sitting fifth in the table. Simeone Inzaghi’s side have amassed 30 points after 15 matches and prior to the World Cup, the Nerazzurri had won six of their last seven matches.
Napoli is the only side in Europe’s top five leagues who are yet to taste defeat this season and are eight points clear at the top of the Italian top-flight table. They now go in search of their first Scudetto for 30 years and have given themselves every chance of doing so with an impressive 41 points from a possible 45.
Taking a look at the match odds for this clash in the second city and the bookmakers have instilled Inter as the 11/8 favourites to take all three points. The draw is on offer at 12/5, while a twelfth consecutive league win for Napoli can be backed at 2/1 with most firms.
Inter Milan vs Napoli Tips
The first selection we are touting on Wednesday evening is with Unibet where new customers can get a money-back bonus of up to £40 if their first bet goes on to lose. We’ve been attracted to the even money (1/1) for there to be Under 2.5 offsides in the match, which can be found under the ‘advanced stats’ section when on the Match Page with Unibet.
Taking a look at Inter’s most recent matches before the league was put on pause, and the offsides totals from their four matches read, 1,2,1,1. It’s also interesting to see that in Napoli’s last two league matches that there was just one offside in either. A combination of disciplined runs from strikers as well as two teams who do not play a high line, gives appeal to the even money on show for under 2.5 offsides here.
We’ve also picked out a 14/1 double via Paddy Power’s Bet Builder feature which consists of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen to both score and be carded. Skybet go 15/2 on this double, while bet365 go just 8/1, so we’d certainly recommend using the Irish bookmaker here.
Nobody has scored more league goals in the 22/23 season for Napoli than Nigerian Victor Osimhen with nine in just 11 appearances. The forward has also been on the scoresheet against Ajax in the Champions League this term and was bang in form before the break.
Last season Osimhen was shown five yellows and one red card in the league for Napoli. One of those cautions came in this fixture away at Inter Milan, with this bet of him to score and be carded landing in two of his away matches. The double has also landed in the Champions League this season, as well as on the opening weekend of domestic football against Hellas Verona.
