Inter v Juventus Betting Tips
Inter Milan are trading at an attractive 1.95 to win this Serie A showdown and many will want to back a team who are flying right now. They have won nineteen of their twenty-four games in the Italian top flight this term, with Cristian Chivu's side having racked up a string of recent victories which means that they're firmly in the box seat to become champions.
Inter have won nine of their twelve home matches at the San Siro and that's slightly inferior to the away form which has resulted in ten wins and two defeats. The Milan side have racked up fifty-seven goals across twenty-four games domestically, with the bookies probability of a little over 50% being really attractive when you weigh up the stats.
Although Inter had their colours lowered at home to Arsenal in the Champions League fairly recently when losing 3-1, the Nerazzurri have gone on to win five games in all competitions. Some of those results were really convincing, with a 6-2 success coming against Pisa and the latest victory was a 5-0 winning scoreline away to Sassuolo.
Therefore, we're talking about a side who have seventeen goals to their name across five matches and they go into battle against a Juventus side who have only won one of their past four clashes. A goalless draw at Monaco in the Champions League was followed by a 4-1 win at Parma and there was then a 3-0 Coppa Italia defeat at Atalanta. Then came a 2-2 draw at home to Lazio.
The Turin side actually fell behind 2-0 in that game before coming storming back. However, a point was the least that Juve deserved considering there were eight shots on target. They also got an additional thirteen shots away and perhaps they can engineer some kind of positive result.
Goals Under/Over
There's nothing between the Overs and Unders odds for this game. The net has been bulging a lot when it comes to Inter home matches, with forty-three goals being registered across twelve matches at the San Siro. That's getting towards the four per game mark and there could be a case for looking at Over 3.5 Goals.
Four of the past six Inter games have resulted in Over 2.5 Goals, with that including that 6-2 victory over Pisa and that 5-0 away success at Sassuolo. More pertinently, seven of the last Internazionale nine matches have seen three or more goals and so this is a captivating trend.
Juventus had that 2-2 draw with Lazio but produced so many scoring chances throughout the ninety minutes and they can certainly boost the goal tally. The past three Juve games have all seen three or more goals.
BTTS
We've seen some exciting recent clashes between these two Italian giants. Juve claimed a fantastic 4-3 success against Inter in September, with a late flurry from the Turin side ensuring that the Old Lady left with a maximum haul. Interestingly, the seven goals came from a combined eight shots on target although these teams have previously shown the propensity to find the net against each other.
This fixture last season ended in a 4-4 scoreline, with that being a hugely entertaining affair although there was also a 1-0 win for Juventus against Inter when they played a year ago. The downside to wagering BTTS Yes is that only one of the past four Inter Milan games have ended this way and they are strong defensively.
It does tend to be the case that BTTS Yes is the outcome when it comes to Inter home matches, with many of the recent Juventus matches ending with BTTS No. There were six consecutive matches recently where Juve played out BTTS No outcomes although the past two Serie A clashes have been BTTS Yes.
First Goalscorer
Inter have lots of potential scorers in every game. Lautaro Martinez is probably the most likely player to find the net, with his strike at Sassuolo being one of the five goals that the team notched. That means that the Argentine has twenty-two for the campaign and he has scored in every other match since scoring the winner at Udinese.
There were five different Inter players on the scoresheet in the last game, with Marcus Thuram ending a run of seven games without a goal when notching at the weekend. Previously to this, there had been six scored across eight matches between early December and early January.
As for Juventus, the goals have been spread around and Kenan Yildiz has twelve in all competitions. The Turk was on target as part of a 3-0 success against Napoli, with the player also finding the net against Cremonese. Weston McKennie has also been in excellent form and he's scored in his previous two Serie A games. All of his goals have come since late November and he's certainly getting into more attacking positions.
