### Prediction

Given Inter’s dominant home record against Napoli and their title-winning momentum, expect the Nerazzurri to edge a tightly contested affair. A narrow 2-1 win for Inter looks likely, though Napoli’s attacking talent means a draw is well within reach if they can replicate their competitive edge from last season’s title race.
