※ Current Odds Date & Time: January 3rd, 9:30 A.M. (EST)
Napoli have dropped just four points during their amazing 2022-23 campaign and will go searching for a 13th consecutive victory. The team has the best attacking record in the league with 37 goals scored in 15 games and it’s always extremely difficult to match their offensive output.
Six players have scored at least three times for Napoli in the league and 13 men have contributed with at least one goal. Even on tough nights, there’s always been somebody to pop up with the winning goal, and manager Luciano Spalletti will be hoping that the same will happen again Wednesday against his former team.
Inter come right behind Napoli with 34 goals, but their defensive efforts have been significantly weaker and it’s left the side sitting only fifth in the table. It’s been a very inconsistent season for the Nerazzurri, and it’s perfectly summed up by the fact that Inter have yet to draw a game, winning 10 times but also losing five matches.
There definitely needs to be a big improvement defensively if they are going to put an end to Napoli’s winning streak on Wednesday. Though 15 games, Simone Inzaghi has seen his side concede 22 goals with only six teams having let in more.
Napoli have an impressive winning streak, but Inter boast a nice run themselves with only one loss suffered in the past 13 home games. There have been 11 wins during the streak that started in March last year. It also includes seven clean sheets so Inter’s defensive efforts have actually been quite good on home turf.
Inter also boast a superb run of home results against Napoli, winning four straight meetings. The overall record is impressive as well with Napoli having managed just one win from the past 10 league matches. This is going to be a huge test for Speletti’s men, but if they come through it with flying colors, it could end up being a crucial win on the team’s quest to win the first Scudetto since 1990.
