Will Inter get the job done?
A successful end to a busy week for the Nerazzurri? The bookies certainly don’t have any doubts that this will be the case. As befits last year’s Champions League finalists, they are the clear favorites in a Hellas Verona vs. Inter Milan tip on the three-way market.
The Italian runners-up’s upcoming opponents are still without a win this season. We are convinced that this will not change this coming Sunday in our Hellas Verona vs. Inter Milan prediction. After all, the away game in Verona is a must-win for Christian Chivu’s team, who will be looking to avoid any slip-ups in the title race at all costs.
With Inter Milan, the strongest attacking team in Serie A, facing one of the weakest defenses in the Italian top flight, we also expect goals at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi. In their last three away games at “I Gialloblù” alone, the Nerazzurri have scored 13 times.
Hellas Verona vs. Inter Milan Head-to-head record / H2H balance
The overall record in this comparison speaks for itself. The Nerazzurri have won 42 of the 69 matches played so far, with Verona winning only five times. There have also been 22 draws. All five of these victories were celebrated by “I Gialloblù” at home in the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi. Nevertheless, the Italian runners-up have mostly dominated here as well.
Inter Milan have won 18 times in Verona in a total of 34 games. Cristian Chivu’s team also won two of the last three matches in Veneto, scoring a remarkable 13 goals. Should the Nerazzurri celebrate another resounding victory this coming Sunday, the bookies are offering reasonable odds on an away win with at least three goals in the game between Hellas Verona and Inter Milan.
Hellas Verona – Inter Milan Tip
Hellas Verona has had a weak start to the season in Serie A. After nine matchdays, Paolo Zanetti’s team is still waiting for its first win of the season. Despite a largely respectable performance, the team suffered its fourth defeat of the season (0-5-4) during the week. In our Hellas Verona vs. Inter Milan prediction, we do not expect them to secure their first league win of the season against the Nerazzurri of all teams.
In recent years, Verona has mostly finished the season in the lower mid-table. It is very likely that this season will once again be a battle against relegation until the very end. However, Verona will certainly have hoped for more than five points after nine matchdays.
But, as in the previous year, it is the weak defense that is causing coach Zanetti the most concern. They conceded 66 goals last season and have already conceded 14 this season. In Serie A, only Udinese has conceded more (15 goals). The home record so far is slightly better.
Three of the four home games this season have ended in draws (0-3-1), and the goal difference also looks more favorable at 3:4. However, this could change significantly after Sunday’s match against the strongest offensive team in Serie A.
Just like the bookies, we see Inter Milan as the clear favorites this coming Sunday. Chivu’s team has recovered well from their defeat in the top match against Napoli. During the week, Inter celebrated a clear home win against Florence, which could have been even higher.
Nevertheless, Inter cannot afford to lose any more games. Napoli are currently dropping very few points in the league, which means that Inter must avoid any slip-ups if they are to keep in touch with the Serie A leaders. In any case, we do not expect the Nerazzurri to slip up in our Hellas Verona vs. Inter Milan prediction for this coming Sunday.
Christian Chivu’s team has already won four of its last five away games in Veneto (4-1-0). And normally, given Inter’s clear superiority, there should be no surprises again this Sunday, which is why we expect a clear victory for the favorites with several goals.
We also think it’s likely that the goals will come after the break and that Inter Milan, just like against Florence during the week, will need a while to break down the underdog’s tight defense. Since we expect Hellas Verona to be as defensive as Florence, “more goals in the second half” is also a good betting option.
