Inter v Torino Match Result
Inter are one of the shortest-priced teams on the Serie A coupon and punters will be looking to get behind them for this Monday night encounter against Torino. The bookies have them at a higher than 70% chance of recording a victory at the San Siro as the Nerazzurri look to make amends for narrowly missing out on the Scudetto last term.
Inter made a hash of winning the title and let Napoli take full advantage. It was a season of near-misses last term considering that the Italian side also made their way through to the Champions League final before being humiliated by Paris Saint-Germain. Simone Inzaghi has now left the club and it’s down to Cristian Chivu to restore some previous glory.
Although the Romanian is a popular figure at the San Siro, he’s still relatively unproven at elite coaching level. It may well be the case that he needs a while to make his mark, although a home win looks to be on the cards. Inter were able to win thirteen of their nineteen home games last term.
Luis Henrique has arrived from Marseille and should bolster the midfield, with Ange-Yoan Bonny likely to add goals to the team after a big money arrival from Parma. Petar Sucic and Nicola Zalewski are other new faces to freshen things up at the San Siro and we can see a relatively comfortable win here.
Torino finished eleventh in the standings last term and were only able to rack up four wins on the road last term. However, they did secure seven draws too and might be capable of going closer than the odds suggest. Marco Baroni will have aspirations to steer the Turin side higher in the ranks and stay well clear of relegation.
Goals Under/Over
There’s a slight leaning towards Over 2.5 Goals when it comes to the Inter v Torino match, with a 58% chance of three or more being scored during the ninety minutes. Inter registered a healthy forty goals last season in Serie A, making them the top scorers at home in the division. They also conceded twenty-one goals at home, so we’re talking about sixty-one goals being notched during the course of nineteen games.
The majority of goals being scored are likely to come from Inter who will hope that Marcus Thuram can improve on his tally of fourteen goals now he’s fully fit. Torino were often good for a goal on the road last season and managed twenty-two away from home, although they were decent defensively to the extent where just twenty-seven were conceded.
BTTS
The bookies think that BTTS No is the most likely outcome here. Therefore, it might be worth pairing an Inter win with this combination if you’re looking to achieve a bigger price on this Monday night Serie A game. There could be some merit in Cristian Chivu’s side running a tight ship in their opener and performing a professional job as a result.
The clash between Inter and Torino last season was an exciting one. On 5 October, the home side came away with a 3-2 victory and that was despite Guillermo Maripan being sent off in the twentieth minute. The Turin side were able to get five shots on target despite their 20% possession although Inter were always in charge on that occasion.
When the teams later met in May, Inter left Turin with a 2-0 victory where they had seven shots on target. Torino registered three shots on goal last term and they had six shots off target. However, the hunch is that they might be short of goal attempts here and we’re leaning towards the bigger price of BTTS No.
First Goalscorer
Marcus Thuram was able to score an impressive hat-trick last season when helping to down Torino. There were two first-half goals from the Frenchman before landing a third on the hour mark, with the forward withdrawn shortly after this. The twenty-eight-year-old will look to make a big impact and stay free from injury this term, with the striker having the potential to be the Scudetto top scorer if that is the case.
Ange Bonny has arrived from Parma and looking to get the goals on his debut, although his return for his former club was modest. Perhaps Lautaro Martinez can remain reliable for Inter and the Argentine scored a sum total of twenty-seven goals for the Nerazzurri last season.
For the visitors, Antonio Sanabria and Che Adams are possibly the players who can fire a goal and they did manage to score twice in this fixture last term. We could see Mehdi Taremi and Luis Henrique also be among the goals from an attacking midfield area and there are lots of exciting options that you could use for a Serie A Bet Builder.
