Torino and Inter face each other in the first Sunday’s match of the 31st round of Italian Serie A. Inter currently occupies the 4th place and has big 17 points more than 10th-positioned Torino, but on the other hand atmosphere in Torino’s locker room cannot be better as they managed to win two matches in a row after a long time. Let’s add that their last two head-to-head ended without winners.
It is interesting to add that Torino and Inter managed to score at least by one goal in their last four matches, which indicates that spectators at the Olimpico stadium in Turin can again see a fully open and efficient match. On top of it, Torino scored eight goals in total in last two victories over Cagliari away and Crotone at home, mostly thanks to forwards Falque and Belotti.
Besides the two players, offensive midfielder Ljajic also woke up from winter sleep in last two matches. We should add that experienced manager Mazzari changed the formation in the meantime to one with three defenders and will surely use the same tactical set-up now against Inter. Let’s add that due to injuries still out of action are stopper Lyanco and defender Molinaro, while midfielder Rincon is suspended due to accrued yellow cards.
Probable lineups FC Torino: Sirigu – N'Koulou, Burdisso, Moretti – de Silvestri, Obi, Baselli, Ansaldi – Ljajic – Falque, Belotti
Sunday’s match with always unpleasant Torino comes for Inter after they drew great city derby with Milan 0-0 last week, where they can feel sorry for not winning all three points since they showed far more than the Rossoneri. However, Icardi’s misses and VAR technology cost them victory as goal scored in the first half was annulled later on after additional check due to offside.
True, Inter’s manager Spaletti can be pleased with ever better performances of the Nerazzurri, who after the latest five-game unbeaten streak of three wins and two draws close in to 3rd-placed Roma, while on the other hand they have two points more than 5th-positioned Lazio, so these three teams will race till the very end of season for remaining two places that lead to the Champions League. Let’s add that still out of action is only from before injured stopper Ranocchia.
Probable lineups Inter Milan: Handanovic – Cancelo, Skriniar, Miranda, D'Ambrosio – Brozovic, Gagliardini – Candreva, Rafinha, Perisic – Icardi
We have already said in our analysis that both teams regularly score goals in their head-to-head, and we expect to see something similar at the Olimpico on Sunday, especially as Torino scored even eight goals in previous two rounds, while on the other hand Inter needs every point for the race toward the Champions League.
Pick: both teams to score
