Inter vs Torino prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-04-27 10:30.
[p]In a hectic game that saw three red cards awarded beyond the 90th minute, Inter Milan defeated city rivals AC Milan 2-1 on Monday to secure their 20th Serie A title and earn a second golden star for their second set of ten Scudetti. They became only the second side in Italy to accumulate at least 20 Serie A titles, Â whilst it also marked the joint-earliest that a team has won the top-flight title (five games to spare), giving the Nerazzurri time to celebrate their success and prepare for next season.[/p]
[p]There’s incentive for the side to keep winning as they can target 100+ points for the season, although recent six-game competitive form (W3, D2, L1) suggests that fatigue may be setting in. There could be little respite for next opponents Torino, though, as Inter have dropped points only twice across their last 12 home league games (W10, D2).[/p]
[p]That is definitely bad news for Torino’s hopes of posting their first league H2H win since January 2019. Now six points adrift of a top-seven spot and a chance to compete next season in Europe, losing isn’t an option for the visitors if they wish to make a late dash. Consecutive goalless draws hasn’t helped in that aspect, although they continue to be the second-best team when it comes to clean sheets (17) this league campaign, two behind Inter (19).[/p]
[p]They’ve recently struggled to show such defensive solidity on the road, shutting only one opponent out across their last six league trips (W2, D2, L2). Il Toro are searching for a first top-flight H2H win at Inter since April 2016, but have already lost at this venue 4-1 against AC Milan earlier in this season, a result that ominously followed a goalless result in the previous round![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Marcus Thuram scored Inter’s opening goal in the reverse fixture and, including that, seven of his last ten league goals came during the second half. Veteran striker Duván Zapata could follow Thuram onto the scoresheet, having netted the second goal of the day in four of his last five league scoring appearances.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Including the reverse fixture, 24 of Torino’s 33 league games this campaign stood level at half-time. [/p]
