Inter Milan vs Napoli: match statistics
Inter Milan displays impressive home form with a 78% win rate and only 22% losses at their own stadium, averaging 2.67 goals per match while conceding just 0.67. The hosts dominate offensive statistics in home matches, achieving an average of 6.89 shots on target and 60% ball possession, translating to a very high xG of 2.04. Napoli, despite good overall form (2.6 points per match in the last 5 games), shows clear weaknesses in away matches, winning 60% of fixtures but scoring an average of only 1.2 goals with an xG of 1.54, which is significantly lower than the hosts' metrics. Additionally, Napoli fails to score in 30% of away matches, constituting a significant weakness. The difference in offensive power on home turf (Inter: +18 goal difference vs Napoli: +5 away) and the advantage in expected goals favor an Inter victory, although Napoli's quality and solid defense (50% clean sheets away) do not allow ruling out a draw or a surprise.
