Prediction Napoli vs Inter 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Serie A on 25/10/2025

Napoli host Inter in Napoli — a high-stakes Milanese test at the Diego Armando Maradona

Napoli welcome Inter to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on 25 October in what promises to be one of the weekend’s most charged Serie A fixtures. Both sides arrive on 15 points after seven matches, separated only by goal difference and the slenderest of margins in the table. The recent run-ins give this clash an edge: Napoli arrive bruised after a 6-2 Champions League defeat to PSV while Inter roll in buoyant from a 4-0 win away at Union Saint-Gilloise. With Maurizio Mariani set to take charge, the stage is set for a raucous atmosphere in Napoli and a tactical battle between two teams who can attack with conviction.

Form, momentum and the underlying numbers

Formlines tell a compelling story. Napoli’s sequence has been inconsistent; their results show flashes of potency but also wobbliness at the back. The home side average more than seven corners per match and generate a high volume of shots, but recent defensive lapses — most notably the heavy European reverse — raise questions about concentration and resilience. Inter, by contrast, have been sharper in front of goal across competitions. They’ve fired 18 goals in seven matches and their attacking metrics — more total shots and a higher dangerous attacks average — underline a side that presses and punishes errors.

Statistically this fixture points toward entertainment. Both teams post strong attacking numbers: Napoli’s 118 total shots and Inter’s 133 speak to intent at both ends, while Inter’s superior corners average and dangerous attacks suggest they will try to dominate territory and tempo. Clean sheets are not a guaranteed commodity for either side, and recent fixtures have produced multiple goals. Their last Serie A meeting ended 1-1, but form this term indicates a higher goal expectation.

Tactical edge and what to watch on the night

Napoli will need to recover their defensive discipline and channel the Maradona crowd into high-energy pressing without opening themselves up. Inter look comfortable traveling to hostile venues this season, and their ability to convert chances has been evident in successive multi-goal wins. Set pieces and transitions are likely to decide the match; both teams win corners and generate chances from open play, so quick counters or a lapse from a set-piece routine could tilt the contest.

Betting suggestion: Back the goal market — Over 2.5 goals. The recent heavy scorelines in continental play, both teams’ high shots and dangerous-attacks numbers, and Inter’s impressive scoring return make a 2.5+ goals selection the most persuasive option from the available markets.
