The Italian Serie A continues this weekend and on Friday the 4th of March we have a meeting between Inter Milan and Salernitana. The game will be played at San Siro and the hosts begin the weekend in 3rd place on 55 points while the visitors are bottom of the table on 14 points.
Inter Milan come into the match on the back of a 0-0 draw with AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg on Tuesday night.
This was classed as the away fixture for Inter Milan despite the fact the game was played at San Siro. That result means Inter Milan are undefeated in their 2 most recent fixtures in all competitions having previously been held to a 0-0 draw in Genoa.
However, Inter Milan have been struggling to win matches of late and they have failed to win any of their last 5 games in all competitions. They have recorded only 1 win from their last 7 matches, with the victory coming over Roma at home in the Coppa Italia.
Form in Serie A shows no wins in Inter Milan’s 4 most recent matches, with draws against Napoli and Genoa and defeats to AC Milan and Sassuolo. Trends show Inter Milan like scoring goals when playing at home and they have found the back of the net in 32 of their last 33 Serie A games on home soil.
Salernitana make the trip to the San Siro having previously picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at home against Bologna last weekend. Bologna opened the scoring just before half-time but Salernitana struck back with 18 minutes remaining on the clock.
That result means Salernitana are undefeated in their last 4 league matches. However, they have failed to win any of those games, with draws coming at home against Bologna, AC Milan, and Spezia, and away to Genoa.
Salernitana have been struggling to win games in Serie A this season and they have recorded only 1 win from their 15 most recent league fixtures. In fact, in their 25 most recent matches of Serie A, Salernitana have achieved just 3 wins.
Trends show Salernitana have conceded 1 or more goals in their last 18 Serie A games in a row and on average, they have allowed 2.25 goals in their most recent away league matches.
Team news and Inter Milan should have everyone fit and available for this game, with no suspension concerns.
Salernitana could be without four players as Ivan Radovanovic, Matteo Ruggeri, Andrea Schiavone, and Mamadou Coulibaly work their way back to full fitness.
This should be the game that sees Inter Milan return to winning ways. Salernitana do not travel well and they have been conceding a lot of goals on the road in Serie A. This has the makings of a comfortable home win for Inter Milan, who could score 3 or more goals in the process.
