Inter Milan looking set for their first scudetto since 2010
The Nerazzurri could afford a slip up in midweek against Spezia when they had come back from behind to draw 1-1. Antonio Conte’s men couldn’t score more than one goal from 15 attempts on target. This was Inter’s second draw in a row after an 11 match winning streak that saw the Nerazzurri build a comfortable ten-point lead at the top of the Serie A table.
Inter have been superb at home this season, winning 13 of their 15 home matches and netting the opening goal in 66% of the time. However, Conte must not panic if they don’t find an early goal as 56% of their goals in the San Siro comes after the 60th minute.
Inter Milan are looking for their first scudetto since the 2009/10 season. They were more focused on Serie A after being eliminated from the Champions League than their direct rivals AC Milan and Juventus who both suffered from injuries and fatigue at the time when Inter were building their lead at the top.
Verona have to improve their defense against Inte
Three defeats in a row and just one win from their last seven matches has seen Verona cement themselves in the Serie A mid-table. This is Veron’s worst run of seven matches since the 2017/18 season and it means a top half finish is unlikely as they are eight points away from the eighth position.
Verona’s defense have struggled when conceding the opener in the first half in four of their last six games and against a high-scoring team like Inter, that struggle might continue. Coach Ivan Juric’s team have some defensive problem’s to sort out as they conceded six goals in three matches and have just one clean sheet in seven matches.
On a more positive note for Juric and Verona, the Gialloblu have opened the scoring in four of their last five away matches and have trailed at half time in just three of their 16 Serie A trips this season.
Key Stats
Inter Milan vs Verona Prediction
Inter are the second-best scoring team in Serie A with 71 goals with an average of 2.22 goals per match. 75% or nine of 12 H2H matches between these two teams have seen over 2.5 goals. In 11 of 15 matches that Inter played at the San Siro over 2.5 goals were scored.
All these stats and the fact that Antonio Conte wants to settle the scudetto as soon as possible and thus overcome their latest slip-ups which resulted in two 1-1 draws, we think we will see over 2.5 goals in this match.
For our second prediction, we will back a 2-1 Inter win
