Reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan will hope to maintain their winning start to the new season when they face Napoli on Sunday at the San Siro.
Inter finished top of the pile last season in Serie A, nine points above Napoli after an intense 38-game season.
While Inter remain under the stewardship of Cristian Chivu, Napoli had to replace Antonio Conte after his resignation, and it is now Massimiliano Allegri who is trying to lead the Azzurri to glory.
The hosts are one of six teams to have made a perfect start and Napoli will not want to lose any more ground on the champions.

Alternative Bet - Number of cards in match - Under 3.5 @ 5/6

Inter Milan v Napoli Prediction
Best Bet: Inter Milan to win and both teams to score @ 13/5
Napoli won the first meeting between these two sides 3-1 in October 2025, but it was a rare moment of joy as Inter Milan were faultless when it mattered most down the stretch.
Inter have avoided defeat in 13 of their last 15 games against Napoli, while the visitors have only won three of their last 20 visits to the San Siro when facing the Nerazzurri.
Chivu's side have enjoyed themselves in recent months, last losing in March and they should be able to capitalise on Napoli's stuttering start.
Allegri's side were outclassed by Como last week, which is a sign that they are yet to fully click under their new coach.
Napoli still possess plenty of attacking flair and can find the back of the net against an Inter side that have kept only five clean sheets in their last 20 home games.
However, it is difficult to ignore Inter's superior record in this fixture and it is too early in Allegri's tenure to trust his side to get a result.
Alternative Bet: Number of cards in match - Under 3.5 @ 5/6
It would not be a surprise to see games between title rivals become passionate and feisty affairs.
However, that cannot be said of this fixture, as none of the last five fixtures has featured more than three cards.
Napoli have only collected two yellow cards this season, one fewer than Inter Milan.
It is too early in the season for tempers to flare and this should be another well-mannered fixture in Milan.
Inter Milan v Napoli Bet Builder Tip
HT/FT - Draw/Inter
Amir Rrahmani 1+ fouls committed
Rafa Marin 1+ fouls committed
Pays 10/1
While Inter Milan should come out on top, they will still be pushed all the way by Napoli.
Allegri will be expected to set his team up to not lose in such a pivotal fixture, so Inter will have to bide their time and it is likely they take control in the second half.
Napoli's defence will be looking to slow the game down at every opportunity, meaning both Rafa Marin and Amir Rrahmani could become pivotal to their tactics.
The two defenders have committed four fouls each in two games and their physical approach could be crucial to keeping Inter at bay for as long as possible.
