Verona vs Inter prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-11-22 14:00.
[p]Hellas Verona went into the final international break of 2024 after losing 3-1 to Fiorentina for a seventh defeat across nine games (W2) to continue their Serie A season of no draws (W4, L8). The Yellow and Blues won’t be thrilled to be facing Inter Milan on their return to league action either, especially considering their poor historical record of only picking up four wins across 66 top-flight H2Hs (D22, L40).[/p]
[p]All those victories have come at home and the hosts will hope to add to that count here, having won two of their last three matches at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi (L1). That included a 3-2 win over Roma last time out here, and with that result combined with a 3-0 victory over Napoli on matchday one, the hosts remain a danger to any opposition on home soil.[/p]
[p]Inter start this round one point adrift of leaders Napoli after a 1-1 draw against them before the break extended their unbeaten run to ten matches (W8, D2). The defending Scudetto champions came from a goal down, thanks to Hakan Çalhanoğlu, but a missed penalty blotted his record by equal measure. With only two points separating the top-six sides after 12 matches, that result could prove costly for the Nerazzurri in the long run who now have tricky games after this fixture, against Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League along with league games against Fiorentina and Lazio.[/p]
[p]The visitors won’t mind facing Verona in their quest to restart their title charge at least, having remained unbeaten against them in league action since all the way back to February 1992 (W21, D5). That includes a run of 13 away H2Hs (W9, D4), a streak likely to be extended here as the visitors have also won their last four competitive away fixtures.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Darko Lazović has three assists this season, all coming at this venue including two in the win against Napoli, but he’ll be mindful that his only career red card came against Inter. Lautaro MartĂnez scored in both of Argentina’s matches over the international break, and with six goals in his last six H2Hs for Inter, he could be looking forward to this encounter.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Seven of Verona’s last nine league matches saw the opening goal arrive within the opening 15 minutes.[/p]
