The match
Inter host Spezia at the Meazza for the second round of the Italian Serie A. The Milan outfit found it tough last time out, yet a last-minute strike from Denzel Dumfries ensured a 2-1 away win over Lecce and a positive league start. The Nerazzuri looked a bit lost offensively at times, but the return of Romelu Lukaku, who scored within minutes of his second debut, will inevitably be of great value to the hosts. Inter have now six consecutive wins in league and cup, while they have only suffered one defeat in their last eighteen competitive games. Their form is also strong at the Meazza, where they have won five league games on the spin, keeping clean sheets in three of them.
After finishing sixteenth and six points above relegation, Spezia are aiming higher this year. Their start to the season is surely a testament to those expectations, with the team thrashing Como 5-1 for the Coppa Italia and kicking off the league in positive fashion as well, beating Empoli 1-0. The visitors will surely need to work on their performances away from home, where barring one win in their penultimate league game against Udinese, they are winless in their last six away games in the Serie A. Spezia have also lost both games at the Meazza since getting promoted, conceding twice in both and scoring in one of them.
Key Statistics
- Inter have won their last six competitive games
- Inter have scored fifteen goals in their last five home league games
- Spezia have won just once in their last seven competitive away games
- Spezia have conceded more than once in three of their last four league outings
The bet of our experts
Inter are favourites to beat Spezia, yet their odds are practically unbackable. What has more value is the outcome of the Nerazzuri emerging as half time winners, which is a likely scenario as the hosts tend to start strong at the Meazza.
