Betting on Spezia
Spezia has been able to achieve one win in its last ten matches, and it has gone seven matches in a row without attaining a victory. These results have Spezia on the verge of the Serie A relegation places. Leonardo Semplici’s men go into this match sitting in the 17th place in the standings with just 21 points, just three points ahead of Verona for the final Serie B playoff spot.
This is a fairly small difference considering that Spezia is the third-worst club in Italian Calcio in terms of goals scored with just 21, and that the team has conceded 41 goals, which is the third-highest figure in the league.
Moreover, playing at home is not a guarantee for Spezia either. The team is the fifth-worst club in the tournament with 13 points out of a possible 39, and it has not won in front of its fanbase for nine matchdays. Indeed, the last time this team won was when it defeated Sampdoria, another team at the bottom of the standings.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Bartlomiej Dragowski; Ethan Ampadu, Dimitrios Nikolaou, Kelvin Amian, Arkadiusz Reca; Albin Ekdal, Mehdi Bourabia, Kevin Agudelo; Emmanuel Gyasi, M’Bala Nzola, Daniele Verde.
Betting on Internazionale
Challenging Napoli for the title, with a 15-point gap between them and at this stage of the season, seems an impossible task for Inter. However, the team needs to continue adding three points if it wants to stay within the Champions League places.
Simone Inzaghi’s team is second in Serie A with 50 points, just three points ahead of Milan, which is in fifth place. There is only an 8-point difference between sixth place and second place, and there are 13 matches left in the season.
The good news for the Internazionale team is that since returning from the World Cup break, Inter has been unstoppable. In the home tournament, the team has lost only two of its 10 matches played. Moreover, it has won the Supercoppa Italiana, it is still in the Coppa Italia, and it has won the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Porto.
These performances are the ones that Inzaghi’s side needs to implement in its away match, a condition in which the team has not been so good at this campaign. In Serie A, Inter has not been able to win away from home for two matchdays, and in 12 matches played, the team has conceded a high number of goals (22).
Possible lineup (3-5-2): André Onana; Matteo Darmian, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni; Marcelo Brozovic, Denzel Dumfries, Robin Gosens, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Çalhanoglu; Edin Dzeko, Lautaro Martinez.
JefeBet Prediction
Inter is the clear favorite to win the match, and the team should have no problem staying in second place in the standings after its match against Spezia.
Simone Inzaghi’s side is very solid in all its lines, and although it has struggled playing away from home, its opponent is one of the worst clubs in the league at home.
Moreover, Inter has conceded just six goals in its last ten Serie A games, in the five previous encounters between the two teams, the Nerazzurri have remained undefeated, with four victories and a single draw.
Prediction: Inter to win (SPE 0 – INT 2).
