If you look at the odds, it might be true that Juventus will be much more favored to win this match than Inter Milan because they will be motivated enough to beat Inter Mila to be able to top the standings. However, that doesn't mean that Inter Milan doesn't have the same chance of winning the match because compared to Juventus, Inter Milan has so far been much more consistent in Serie A. If you look at the head to head results, they are still quite balanced in the previous five matches, but this season there is a slight difference where Inter Milan is trying to be the best in Serie A with the results they have achieved.

Both teams have an equal chance to win this game based on their present performance. Inter Milan is just two points away from Juventus and it seems that they also have two of the best coaches in the Italian Serie A. Massimiliano Allegri has been an extraordinary coach who has stood with Juventus all through the club's trial period and with his tactical acumen, he has continued to make the Bianconeri a force in the league. Juventus has a more determined team that will put up a strong fight in this game.

But Simone Inzaghi's is not also an easy nut to crack. Although key players like Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni are injured, the Nerazzurri will want to please their fans in the Allianz Stadium. To replace the injured players coach Inzaghi might deploy Matteo Darmian and Francesco Acerbi who are also good players. Inter have scored the highest goals and as equally conceived the least goals, so he will be watching a complete team against one of the best in the league.

I am not too optimistic about this change of coach. Napoli has never been this top team that can perform like for several years like they did last season. Lots of teams have years when they play extraordinary football and seem to be unstoppable. But those that don't do that on a consistent level often experience a decline in their performance in the season after and this is what I thought would also happen with Napoli after this insane first half last season. It was never possible for them to top that and getting close to it. Everything worked smoothly for them, every result was perfect and every game that could have ended with a draw eventually ended with a win for them. Now they are taking actions while I believe that the also failed to properly classify what they have achieved last season.

Walter Mazzarri has not been a successful coach after he left a Napoli where he won Italian Cup in 2012 and help the club to finish second in the league. He failed in Inter, Watford, Torino and Cagliari and have not had a top coaching club for the past ten years. I see his appointment as a gamble maybe he was appointment because of his close relationship with Aurelio De Laurentiis. His appointment might also because of his low wage bill since the club will still have to be paying the sacked coach until 2024. We just have to wait and see how he would change the fortune of the club.
