Napoli vs Inter Milan Prediction & Betting Tips - Super Cup

Napoli overcame their recent challenges on Thursday by securing a spot in the Italian Super Cup final with a convincing 3-0 victory over Fiorentina in Riyadh. Giovanni Simeone opened the scoring in the 22nd minute at the sparsely-populated Al-Awwal Park, and Alessio Zerbin sealed Napoli's passage with two late goals, marking his first for the Italian champions. Fiorentina missed a penalty shortly before halftime and also had a goal ruled out. Thursday's success provided a rare bright moment in an otherwise disastrous season for Napoli, who find themselves 20 points behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan and have secured just five wins since Walter Mazzarri took over from Rudi Garcia in November. Additionally, Napoli was eliminated from the Italian Cup and is set to face Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16 in the coming weeks.

This season's Super Cup featured four teams, with the top two from last season's Serie A and the two Italian Cup finalists competing in the tournament. Inter secured their place in the final by defeating Lazio 3-0 in the semifinal at Riyadh's Al-Awwal Park. Goals from Marcus Thuram and Davide Frattesi in each half, along with Hakan Calhanoglu's penalty four minutes after the break, propelled Serie A leaders Inter past Lazio. Simone Inzaghi's team is the current holder, and with this opportunity, Inzaghi aims to win the Super Cup for a record-breaking fifth time in his career. A victory for Inter in the final on Monday would also mark their third consecutive Super Cup win, making them the second team to achieve a hat-trick in the competition after local rivals AC Milan accomplished the feat between 1992 and 1994.
