Spezia vs Inter Milan Predictions

• Spezia have gone eight games without a win, failing to net in five of their last seven.
• Inter Milan, meanwhile, have won six of their last eight games.
• The Nerazzurri have seen under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven outings.

Nerazzurri enjoy solid streak

Inter Milan bounced back from their shock reverse at Bologna in routine fashion last week, beating Lecce 2-0 to cut the gap to Serie A leaders Napoli to 15 points after the Partenopei were bested by Lazio and old boss Maurizio Sarri. While Simone Inzaghi’s Inter will not be in contention for the Scudetto by the end of the season, a run of five clean sheets in their last seven matches has marked them out as clear favourites for second, and their momentum should continue at struggling Spezia.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri have won six of their last eight games across all competitions. Since the World Cup break, only Napoli (27) have bettered Inter’s return of 23 points from 11 games in Serie A, and the runaway leaders are also the only side to concede fewer than the Nerazzurri’s eight goals against in that span. With Inzaghi’s attackers not firing on all cylinders at the other end, six of their last seven matches have contained under 2.5 goals, and a high-scoring affair is not expected next time out.

Spezia may count themselves unfortunate not to have made the breakthrough in a goalless draw with fellow strugglers Verona last time out – a result which keeps them perched perilously three points above the drop zone. Spezia are now winless in their last eight games, losing five, and their dismal attacking returns are putting them in danger – Leonardo Semplici’s men have failed to score in five of their last seven contests.

Low-scoring away win likely

With Spezia producing several dire displays in front of goal and Inter showcasing a solid rearguard of late, backing the Nerazzurri to win a low-scoring match looks prudent.

While our main tip is Inter to win a game containing under 2.5 goals, a 2-0 away win could represent a solid correct score prediction – Spezia have failed to score in five successive home games, last netting in front of their own fans in the first game back after the World Cup break on January 4.
