Palermo vs Inter Milan Predictions
Inter Milan continued their impressive rise up the Serie A title last weekend, as they jumped up to sixth after seeing off Chievo 3-1 at San Siro on Saturday. They are now serious contenders for a European place, which was unthinkable a couple of months ago. However, a top three spot was their ambition before the start of the season. Anything seems possible for them, based on their current form. Can they carry on that momentum against the worst home record in Serie A?
Inter travel to a Palermo side who must be jealous of the Nerazzurri’s impressive momentum, given how the Rosanero have seen their form tail off. They ended 2016 with four points from their last two games, and that seemed like it could be the foundation for them to push on and climb to safety. Two defeats from two at the start on 2017 have killed off those hopes, leaving them in the bottom three and some way from safety.
Those two defeats for Palermo came away from home, but now they return to their own ground, where they aren’t exactly enjoying success at the moment. They’ve taken just 0.11 points per game at the Renzo Barbera this term, which explains why Inter are such short odds for the victory.
Palermo have lost 89% of their outings at home, while they’ve been beaten in 11 of their last 13 Serie A games. Inter come here having won five straight in the league, while they booked quarter final spot in the Coppa Italia this week too. This should be an easy win for Stefano Pioli’s side. To make things easier, they’re up against a very poor Palermo attack, one who have scored just 0.44 goals per game at home this term, failing to score 56% of their outings.
The visitors average 55% possession on their travels, and that’s likely to be higher when you consider the gulf in class between these two teams. Palermo have scored from just 4% of their shots this season, and they’re unlikely to get too many opportunities with Inter dominating the game. That has us backing a clean sheet for the away side here, and we can see them continuing their excellent form. A win to nil for Inter is our tip, at 13/8 with bet365.
