Inter Milan vs Juventus Betting Tips

Inter Milan won five out of five to start the Serie A season. It was never going to last forever, but the team’s supposed rejuvenation appears to be a little more in question now after Roberto Mancini’s side was thrashed 4-1 at the San Siro by Fiorentina and then were held to a 1-1 draw by Sampdoria.

The games don’t get much easier. Juventus might not look like the team that cruised to the Serie A title and reached the Champions League final, but they are by no means a pushover opponent.

Juventus are a tricky side to figure out. They’ve won both their Champions League group matches, looking extremely good while beating Sevilla and Manchester City, but their form in Serie A has been atrocious.

In the last game before the international break, Juventus picked up just their second win of the season by beating Bologna 3-1. They’ve missed Andrea Pirlo’s impact in central midfield and they’ve also missed cutting edge up front. However, manager Massimiliano Allegri is starting to work out his best team and perhaps the latest break will just benefit the defending champions

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Trying not to lose factor

We think in a big game like this right after the break, the playing not to lose factor might come into play, at least a little bit. In that case, we’re not anticipating a lot of goals.

2. Roberto Mancini will try to strangle the game

His strategy has always been relatively defence-based, but Mancini’s style appears to have been exaggerated in this Inter Milan side. There have been just 14 goals in their seven games this season, five of those were scored in the game against Fiorentina. That means only nine goals in the other six games.

3. Juventus’ poor form

They haven’t looked like the same team that won Serie A last year and they’ve really struggled for form against some of the better sides as well. We can’t see them winning at the San Siro.
