Where will Marco Baroni start with his match plan?
Preparations for the Winter Olympics are in full swing in Italy – you can even feel it in the Inter Milan vs. Torino FC tip. Because the Giuseppe Meazza is currently being prepared for the opening ceremony, the Nerazzurri’s quarterfinal against the Bulls has been moved to Monza.
The best sports betting providers are sticking to their status as favorites for the official home team – nor do we consider a defeat for La Beneamata to be realistic in our Inter Milan vs. Turin FC prediction. They are in too good form and the difference in quality is too clear.
Turin FC has already felt the full force of the Black and Blues once this season. On the very first matchday of Serie A, the Granatreds were outplayed and sent off the pitch with a 0-5 defeat.
Visiting coach Marco Baroni has yet to taste success against the Italian top team in his coaching career. The 62-year-old has already worked with various clubs against La Beneamata, but has failed to win any of his ten competitive games against Inter (2D, 8L).
The matches have rarely been close – Baroni’s teams have a significantly negative goal difference (8:28) in ten games against the Nerazzurri. Especially in the recent past, the Italian coach has been unable to find a way to beat the black and blue team. The 62-year-old’s clubs have lost three of their last four direct duels without scoring a goal.
The form curves of the two clubs also do not suggest an away win. Chivu’s team has won its last three competitive games in a row, the last two by exactly 2:0 and thus without conceding a goal. At bet365, we are going for an Inter Milan – Torino FC odds of 1.87 and betting on “Inter Milan to win to nil.”
Inter Milan – Torino FC Head-to-head record / H2H balance
We have already mentioned the only meeting between these two sides so far this season. Inter won 5-0, scoring from set pieces, structured build-up play and high ball wins. In recent years, this fixture has usually been fairly one-sided, ending without a goal for the Bulls.
Torino FC have lost four of their last five games – all without scoring. It didn’t matter whether the matches were played at San Siro or Olimpico Grande Torino. In addition, their performances in this Serie A season have been rather poor (14th place), although they did manage a valuable 1-0 win against Lecce recently.
Inter Milan – Torino FC Tip
The hosts made their first appearance in the Coppa Italia round of 16, winning 5-1 against Venezia FC with a high-octane performance. Torino crept through the first two rounds, winning 1-0 against Modena FC and Pisa respectively, before securing a surprise 3-2 victory against AS Roma in the round of 16.
The Baroni selection got their revenge immediately after this cup victory. AS Roma took revenge against the Granatroten and won the league game 2-0. Much more critical was the subsequent 0-6 defeat against Como, in which the Bulls had no chance and scored only 0.44 expected goals.
Across all competitions, the Nerazzurri have already played 33 competitive games, including eight in the Champions League (5W, 3D). La Beneamata has won 24 of those games (72.2 percent). Around two-thirds of these victories saw Chivu’s side keep a clean sheet (16). In their last six competitive games alone, Inter Milan have won four times without conceding a goal.
