Will Inter extend their lead at the top of the table?
Inter Milan and Pisa SC kick off the 22nd matchday of Serie A on Friday. The roles could hardly be more clearly defined, as the visitors are currently in 19th place and deep in the relegation battle, while the hosts are at the top of the table. The biblical expression “a duel between David and Goliath” could hardly be more apt at this point.
This is naturally also reflected in the Inter Milan vs. Pisa odds, as with maximum odds of only 1.18, a home win seems to be a foregone conclusion. Nevertheless, we will take a close look at both teams and consider any eventualities.
We’ll start with the home and away records of both clubs and come to a similar conclusion as when looking at the table. Christian Chivu’s team is also top of the home table, having picked up 25 points from 11 home games. When we also consider that the visitors are the weakest away team in Serie A, with only seven points from ten away games, there is little reason for the Nerazzurri fans to be hopeful.
In addition to the league table and the home and away records of the two teams, the current form also speaks against the visitors gaining any points. “I Torri” have won only one competitive game this season, and that was against fellow promoted team Cremona.
This raises the question of whether the visitors are even ready for the top flight. Added to this is the fact that the hosts are in excellent form, with five wins from their last seven competitive games. If we disregard the 1-3 defeat in the Champions League against Arsenal FC, one of the best teams in the world, their form is outstanding. It therefore seems that we cannot ignore the Inter Milan vs. Pisa tip: “Home win.”
Inter Milan – Pisa Head-to-head record/H2H balance
The visitors have won only three of the 20 matches and have lost eleven times. If we also take into account that most of the matches took place in the last century and are completely irrelevant for the upcoming match, it becomes even clearer.
The only really relevant match is the one in the first half of the season. Here, the league leaders celebrated an unchallenged 2-0 victory, leaving the promoted team with no chance. For us, this is another reason why the Inter Milan vs. Pisa betting odds clearly favor a home team victory. However, a straight win bet does not offer any value, as the meager winnings would usually have to be reduced by betting tax.
Inter Milan – Pisa Tip
Ultimately, we have decided on a clean sheet for the favorites in our Inter Milan vs. Pisa betting tip. Christian Chivu’s team has conceded only eight goals in eleven home games and is therefore difficult to break down. In addition, the visitors have had major problems in attack, scoring only 16 goals in 21 league games. This makes Alberto Gilardino’s team the second-weakest attack in the Italian top flight.
Last but not least, the result from the first leg also influenced us, of course, because even in their own stadium, “I Torri” were unable to score and lost 0-2.
Alternatively, you can also add the Inter Milan vs. Pisa odds for a handicap win for the home team to your betting slip. This is mainly because the hosts are not only one of the best teams in the league defensively, but also have a lot of quality offensively.
At home, Christian Chivu’s team is by far the best attacking side in Serie A with 27 goals in eleven games. Juventus Turin follows in second place with only 20 goals. A similar or even higher result than in the first leg therefore seems extremely realistic. At bet365, you can get odds of 1.53 for this.
