Inter vs Palermo Betting Tips and Predictions

Recent league defeats to Juventus and Fiorentina have been a setback for Inter, but Roberto Mancini’s men can take a lot of heart from their midweek Coppa Italia performance. Trailing 3-0 to Juve from the first leg in Turin, Mancini’s side fought back to take the tie to extra-time, only to suffer penalty heartbreak. Recent history suggests Inter should win this match fairly comfortably and they need to improve their league form if they are to qualify for next season’s Champions League. The visit of struggling Palermo should be viewed by Inter as a chance to boost their goal difference.

Palermo have not won for six Serie A matches and they have only collected two victories on the road all season, at Bologna and rock bottom Verona. Placed just four points above the drop zone at the start of the weekend’s action, Palermo should have enough to avoid the drop but will be looking nervously over their shoulders for the last few weeks of the season. Palermo traditionally concede a lot of goals on their trips to play Inter at the San Siro.

With Inter dominating the head-to-head and Palermo in such poor form it is no surprise to see the visitors priced at 10/1 for this match. Finding value while backing Inter is a challenge for this Serie A game but the handicap could prove to be the best place for a bet on the game. Inter -2 at 15/8 with bet365 looks a very generous price given how many goals are usually scored in this game, while a small bet on Inter to win 4-1 at 16/1 with bet365 may also be worthwhile.
