H2H: Torino vs Inter - Prediction (Serie A

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Torino have lost in Serie A (SA) immediately after an international break on each of two possible occasions since the start of 2019/20. Their win prior to the latest break was their first in seven SA matches (W1, D2, L4), and the 4-0 scoreline made it Torino’s first victory with a winning margin of over 1.5 goals in SA this season. Torino’s Andrea Belotti has scored each of his four home SA goals during the second half. Once more, the first goal may be crucial, with the team netting first in Torino’s matches this term going on to bag full points on nine of a possible 11 occasions. Torino have a lot to improve upon in that regard, having scored first in just 25% of their 12 SA games. Additionally, first-half blanks in two-thirds of their SA matches will keep the home faithful worried.

Torino have scored five of their six SA home goals during the second half. Seven of Inter’s 26 SA goals have been scored between the 21st-30th minute. Five of Inter’s six SA away games have seen them score first, and go on to win each time.

Even more worryingly for the hosts, is the fact that Inter have eight first-half cleansheets from their 12 SA games played to date. Additionally, Inter have conceded just one of their seven SA away goals against during the first half. Romelu Lukaku has been Inter’s final goalscorer in five of the seven SA matches in which he’s netted. The ‘Nerazzurri’ remain the only SA side to score in every game this season. They have scored at least twice in each of their six away games, albeit managing just one cleansheet during the process. Nevertheless, four of Inter’s six SA away wins have come via a single-goal margin, with three specifically ending 2-1.
