Torino v Inter Milan

Torino vs Inter Milan Preview

Torino headed into the international break on the back of four matches without a win in the Italian top flight so the hosts will be keen to resume the Serie A action this weekend by taking all three points but they face a tough challenge in the shape of the current league leaders, Inter Milan, when the two teams face off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Saturday evening.

Torino had previously seemed to have got themselves back on track by posting back-to-back wins against Genoa and Salernitana but the hosts were unable to maintain that spark of form in subsequent weeks as Ivan Juric's side have since failed to win any of their subsequent four matches in Serie A.

Points picked up in creditable draws with Roma and Verona have been outweighed by defeats dealt out to them by Lazio and Juventus, both of which were away from home, so Torino will be looking to kick-start their season again when they return to their home surroundings on Saturday.

However, the straight win markets should be avoided when looking at Torino at home as the hosts have managed to capture just one win from their last 11 matches which also includes four defeats but also six draws, while both teams have scored in five of these 11 home games as well.

Inter Milan sit at the top of the Serie A table where they hold a three-point cushion over second placed fierce rivals, AC Milan, and having suffered just the single defeat in their opening eight games of this new campaign, Inter Milan will fancy their chances of picking up another three points at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Saturday evening.

Indeed, Inter Milan have won seven out of their eight games to date in Serie A which includes victories on the road against Cagliari, Empoli and Salernitana, the latter being a particularly heavy 4-0 rout heaped upon their hapless hosts.

The bigger picture shows Inter Milan have been dealt just two defeats out of their previous 16 matches overall which includes picking up no fewer than 13 wins in the process, so the visitors will be backing themselves to get a positive result here this weekend.

Torino v Inter Milan Verdict

The prospect of a possible draw cannot be ruled out here, given the numerous number of matches where Torino have been involved in stalemates but neither can the option of both teams scoring be ignored either as four out of the last seven meetings between Torino and Inter Milan have resulted in both teams scoring (57%).

Considering this is the first weekend of action in Serie A following the international break, it may be prudent to play the goals markets in this clash.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score Yes @ 1.90

Other side bets worth considering:

Draw @ 3.60

Correct score: 1-1 @ 6.50
