The runaway leaders in Serie A will be back in action this week, as Inter Milan look to stretch their advantage at the summit. Salernitana will be the visitors to the San Siro, as they look for a much-needed victory.
Serie A Preview
It has been an incredible season to this point for Inter Milan, and they appear to be on course for the top-flight title. Inter come into this Friday night fixture in the league after winning each of their last five matches since the winter break, and that has seen them open up a seven-point advantage at the top of the league standings.
As well as that, Inter are the highest scoring team in the competition at this point, and they also boast the best defensive record after allowing just 12 goals. They took another step toward the Serie A title last weekend with a stunning 4-2 win on the road in Rome. Francesco Acerbi opened the scoring against Roma, before second half efforts from Marcus Thuram and Alessandro Bastoni wrapped up the comfortable victory.
Salernitana will be the massive outsiders in the betting for this fixture on Friday, as they have struggled to record victories throughout the season to this point. The Italian side sit bottom of the standings after 24 rounds of matches, and they have suffered defeats in four of their last five matches in the league.
Meanwhile, they have recorded just two wins across all the matches that they have played in the competition this term. Salernitana boasts one of the poorest defences, while only Empoli have scored fewer goals than the Italian side so far this term. Their most recent defeat was suffered at home against Empoli, which could ultimately be damaging in their bid to remain in the top-flight.
Inter Milan vs Salernitana Head to Head
Inter are unbeaten in their last five top-flight matches with Salernitana, landing four victories over that period. They have won each of their last two against their rivals at San Siro, scoring a total of seven goals and keeping back-to-back clean sheets.
Inter Milan vs Salernitana Prediction
Based on the form on offer from both of these sides this term, it appears incredibly hard to overlook a likely victory for Inter Milan on Friday. We expect them to secure maximum points by at least a two goal margin against their relegation-threatened rivals.
