Inter Milan will look to continue their Serie A title charge against Napoli on Sunday. Antonio Conte’s team hasn’t dropped a single point in 11 league outings, but they face a similar in-form side in Napoli who have won seven of their past nine games across all competitions.
This should be a very entertaining affair with two top teams involved and there will be plenty of goalmouth action, which could easily result in a high number of corners. Bookmaker 10Bet has over 9 corners available with the odds at 1.86

Romelu Lukaku is banging in the goals like there’s no tomorrow, but the defense has been the driving force for Inter during their current winning streak. They have kept the opposition off the scoreboard seven times while notching three vital 1-0 wins to keep the streak going.
The run started after Inter managed to pick up just five points in four games, so it looks like Conte found the exact right words to use for inspiration back in January to get his side rolling towards the Scudetto.
Inter have become the first side in the Serie A to win each of the first 11 matches played in the second half of the season. Cagliari made it very tough for Conte’s men a week ago, but a Matteo Darmian strike in the 77th-minute secured a 1-0 win. It marks the latest goal scored by Inter this season on a 0-0 scoreline.
Napoli produced a bounce-back performance last weekend by beating Sassuolo on the road 2-0 with goals from Fabian Ruiz and Victor Osimhen. The team dropped the previous game 2-1 against Juventus.
Gli Azzurri dished out 70 million euros last summer to make Osimhen their record signing, but the Nigerian forward has taken a long time to adapt to his new surroundings. A shoulder injury, which robbed him of 14 outings has played a big part in it.
The former Lille man seems to have finally found his scoring boots having struck three times in the past six league games. He has only five Serie A goals for the whole campaign, so it’s been a huge improvement from the 22-year-old.
Despite Osimhen’s struggles, Napoli still boasts the third-best attacking record in the league with everybody chipping in with goals. There’s no doubt that a collective effort is needed here to bust Inter’s streak.
