Free special tips for the disappointed Italians
Inter’s elimination was a surprise, Napoli’s was a paper result. But which team will wake up from the shock by the weekend?
Much to the chagrin of Italian football lovers, the Champions League continues without an Italian team. In the last 16, neither Lazio, Napoli nor Inter have qualified, leaving Milan, Atalanta and Roma in the EL and Fiorentina still in the Conference League. Strangely enough, it could almost be said that the season’s worthwhile part is over for Inter. Could this be a decisive factor in the clash against Napoli?
Because the Nerazzurri now have a 16-point lead over Milan, which is clearly unassailable. In addition, Lautaro Martínez’s title as top scorer is also assured, so Inter, whose relegation was a surprise in Madrid, can take comfort in these trophies. Simone Inzaghi has no new absentee, so the coach’s biggest task will be to get the players together for the game.
Napoli, who are hungry for success, visit the Giuseppe Meazza, and although they are also out of the Champions League, it is less of a surprise against Barcelona. However, Osimhen’s side are in 7th place, 10 points off the BL, which is actually more like 7 due to the points they lost. However, they can probably count on Bologna’s bomb form to break sooner or later, and then they might be able to make up the difference. Although it would certainly be a feat to finish 4th, the Partenopei’s performance is a notch better with Francesco Calzona after Mazzarri’s dismissal.
But even though we are talking about a clash between the future Serie A champions and the defending champions, the odds offered by 22bet of around 1.50-1.60 are justified for Inter, who have already beaten their rivals twice this season. Martínez and his team won 3-0 at the Maradona and 1-0 in the Super Cup final.
While Inter may be more disappointed, we don’t think Napoli will be able to break the industrialists’ endless winning streak. However, we would also be very surprised if the goalbags were to fall out on either side.
What are the best tips for the match?
We are definitely going for the under option, which would be a complete loser by only 4 goals. Milan have failed to score 3 goals in 7 of the last 8 games between the two teams, and Darmian’s are laughably capable of bringing a game down to 0 goals against anyone.
We expect few goals and few cards, we’ll take the latter. La Penna isn’t one of the very tough whistle masters, but the 5.5 limit is not a small one.
