Napoli host Inter Milan in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Saturday, more than four months after the first tie. Napoli went to Milan on that occasion and came away victorious after an impressive 1-0 win. Fabian Ruiz cut in from the right to score a curling cracker with his left foot to kickstart a great run of form for Gennaro Gattuso's Napoli. They were unbeaten in the five matches before the hiatus, the only draw being at home to Barcelona in the Champions League. Sixth in the table, Napoli still have hopes of catching Atalanta, nine points ahead in fourth, the final Champions League place. Inter, meanwhile, started the season strongly under Antonio Conte but fell away in the second half of the campaign. They are third in the table and the title looks out of reach despite their game in hand as leaders Juventus are nine points ahead. The break may have provided Conte with an opportunity to recharge his side and end their current three-match losing streak in domestic competitions.

The star attraction of Inter's season has been the attacking duo of Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez. Although Martinez has been the subject of transfer speculation, his goals contribution dried up on recent appearances. He only scored one goal in his previous seven appearances. Inter have the best away record in Serie A and won 3-1 on their most recent visit to the Stadio San Paulo back in January. Napoli sandwiched that Inter victory with wins of their own and that proves that these teams are closely matched. Napoli have looked better at home in the second half of the season but failed to win eight of their 13 home Serie A games. With this in mind, we think that Inter are worth backing in a draw no bet wager.
